Stormtrooper Buggy

[rodcycle]

Well as a lot of you know I bought the "TOTAL ADDICTION" chassis. I sold my Jeep and decided to build a buggy.

So of course it got a name change... my kids and wife named it STORMTROOPER.

Specs:
LS motor or LT1. Not sure yet
Th350
205 or atlas. Not sure yet
Built tons
Corbeau seats
16" coilovers
Blah blah blah


Thanks to OL JEEPS for the help.
The orange Jeep is the donor for parts.

So here we go....this was Friday 11/13

11/14
Tear down begins

Both axles have Artec trusses. They are welded up and ready to be put under the chassis.

It will be a roller by next weekend! I have a April deadline to meet

very cool

 

[ol'Jeeps]

Alright @lockedup5 and @rodcycle. You two behave!



Like the new name!

 

[rodcycle]

Well I now have the front truss on. I ran out of welding wire and gas.... I hate when that happens!

I will have the axles under it by the weekend. I had to move the seat brackets... I'm short legged and fat. I got the rear mounts cut and ready for the RCI fuel cell.

Just gotta wait on the upper link mounts from Barnes4wd to show up. I gotta say thank you to all the vendors for making awesome products and fab work.

No mine is getting started as we speak. Cant wait. I'm ready.

 

[rodcycle]

Well I got a lil bit done
Nothing that is picture worthy, but it's getting closer

 

[rodcycle]

Well finally getting some color.....

You should paint the axles white. Would look sweet, but might be a pain to keep clean.

Coarse you won't be wheeling it anyway haha

I wish it were that easy. ...still a long way to go. It will $200 dollar you to death.

Just don't spend 3 years and **cough thousand cough cough $$** to build it then sell it for... You get the point.

 

[broncosbybart]

A lot of work!

No doubt! April will come quickly. I'm working on a Bronco project with an April deadline. A good bit is done but the time goes by too fast. I'll be watching your progress. Now turn some wrenches and weld some stuff!
