rat rod buggy.

[firetoy]

I have started a buggy project for one of my customers. His original plan was to build a rat rod. Got him self a 4bt cummins and it went down hill from there. After many ideas and input from friends some how he decided to buy a jeep. Don't ask me how a rat rod project turned into buying a jeep, but it did. Originaly the plan was to install the cummins do a 4" lift kit, a set of tires along with some axles (dana44 9") and call it good. Well after riding in my buggy and lots of talking this is where we are at.

parts list.

4bt cummins
th400 tranny, np205
clark hurth planataries
king coil coilovers
balistic joints
ect.

keep your eyes peeled this is going to happen fast.

Tim Vice stitches and 4x4.

I like the tube work, that gives me and exo-skel-shell idea for my cj project, I like how you have almost used all the WRAN LER sheet metal I guess you had to cut the G out? lol

Just run 36" IROKS in the front for some rake, and viola, rat rod style with all the visibility you need. haha
