Default It's back! (Juggster tuber)

I definatly regreted selling it in the first place!
I may have it powdercoated just not sure if I should stick with the yellow or change it completly. I also think I'm going to see how it looks with 2.2 wheels and a spare on the back. I was thinking of picking up a set of thos narrowed and rotated red rocks from insanerc. Maybe even a roof rack. It'll be a fun winter project. Anyone have any opinions?

I think 2.2 will be a bit small, and I think the Swamp Dawgs are awesome. A roof rack would look cool, maybe even mount some lights on the front of it. Cool.

What is the chassis made of? It looks thicker than normal 3/16 brake line.

Maybe add the roof rack, i would leave as it is, as the yellow/black theme looks good, maybe a couple more body panels

1/4 solid

Kevin has another rig like this that I am trying to convince my mom to pick up for my stepfather...or me

It looks like the owner kept it in good shape which is good for you. I think some 2.2 red rocks would look cool

keep us posted

Mike

i would leave it yellow. i agree, add some more body panels to clean up the look. how about instead of a roof rack just a bar that goes over the top and put a couple lights on it.

Maybe I'll keep it yellow. I still want it powdercoated though. I guess I'll have to search to see who does it on this site.

Hey wrx-n-ktm,
Congrates on getting her back!!!
I almost made the same mistake!!!
I too have a rare JUGGSTER Tuber. Kevin built it for me YEARS AGO only to have run it for the 1ST time this Fall... ...
(which, If I may add... crawled AWESOMELY!!!)
I can also attest to the quality of his workmanship as I've personally SEEN his 8 year old drive "his" clod tuber off WALLS and KEEP GOING!!!


Personally, I'd keep it yellow... sharp looking just as it sits!!!

Here's 2 pics of My "Blue-Tube" Kevin made... currently being revamped for MORE rock action!!!

Talk about clearance... :-P


(No Animal were harmed in any way while taking these pictures!)

Those look nice, being solid 1/4" about how much do they weigh? Are they brazed or welded?

Well as RcHolic said:

My 8 yr old Daughter was running one of mine, I built 6 yrs ago, and she was going off 2-ft stone walls and she just kept going.....:-P
