[leroycocke]

Bigben75ford? Yes it was. Now im going to build it with one tons, at least 38" and tring to plan out what motor to run? What do you think i should run? 22rt on propane or a sb 350 on propane?

I agree. if you were going with smaller axles, id say a 22RE, but if you're going with tons put something with some ponies behind it!

 

[leroycocke]

Some crappy work but nothing that can't be fixed

 

[leroycocke]

What tire size? 38"- 46"

 

[leroycocke]

thats 38s

 

[Bigben75ford]

HAHAH just to be clear I bought this thing as is.... I didnt do any of that fabbing LOL! Hey man I sent you some pics did you ever get them? I like the look of those tons and boggers though for sure!

 

[leroycocke]

I did not get them. And i was about to fix my misleading comment about crappy work and it coming from you. I have seen your rig i know this crappy work didn't come by your hands.

[leroycocke]

5.3 or 6.0 with the factory EFI.

 

[leroycocke]

What is the best bang for the dallor? Old school 350 or 5.3/6.0? I want to run propane but not limited to running it. Im not really good at eletrical work unless it's a house.

 

[drkelly]

You can't beat the power, performance, and cost of a low mileage 5.3 or 6.0. I've seen 5.3's for about $500 give or take a little. The wiring harness can be reworked for another few hundred or so and will only require like four wires to be hooked up.

 

[Bigben75ford]

any updates man?

 

[leroycocke]

Noy really have had some rough weeks with my wife and her pregnancy. So i have put it on the back burner for now. I am planning on going to work on it tonight. Ill post some pictures tomorrow.

 

[jerretxx]

looking good! can't wait to see the end result

 

[leroycocke]

This is mainly for Ben he knows what it looked like before.

 

[leroycocke]

before

after and still not done i need to learn to cut closer.

 

[Hurdt299]

Just wanted to show you what it used to look like back when I had it.

 

[leroycocke]

so what # of owner am i on this thing?i was thinnking 4th but dose any one know?

 

[Hurdt299]

When I bought it, it still had doors but the back half had been cut off, Waggy axles 1/4 elliptic in the rear and Bronco radius arms in the front, and was painted spray bomb neon orange. When it left my shop it looked just like it does in the pictures above. So I'm either the first or second owner of it as a buggy depending on how you look at it. I traded it to Brock Parker (Warpaintfab) and I'm not sure where it was between Brock and Ben. I have a lot of pictures of the build of it that I'm trying to find. I'll see if I can come up with one from when I first got it.

 

[Hurdt299]

How's the build coming along?

 

[sparkn89]

i would go with the a 4.8 or 5.3, snappy thottle response and lots of power.
