Default Project White Knight, Sancho's version

I know what you guys are thinking already..."Chrome doesnt get you Home" but Ive always wanted to build an OverKill Bruiser based MoonBuggy and since rckJeep started this thread for me{sorry for the HighJack to whoevers post was highjacked).Ill go ahead and post some info.


3/16" brass frame silver soldered moonbuggy frame,chassis intergrated single speed trans ,1/4 links,2xfront bruiser axles with ENGLE Bulletproof internals,cut jugg driveshafts,over the axles servo mounts which act as link and shock mounts,Bruiser beadlock wheels with FAUX Juggsterr rock rings...Lathe motor is on order

I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I read the headding

I didnt remember starting a new thread or highjacking a thread ...I wasnt planning on starting one since its more a over built "OVERKILL"project than your typical homebrew basher I see posted on this site .... but thanks Jeep

Looks great!!
I have some doubt about the body tho, I'd prefer some panels and that's all.
The frame is too cool to be hidden ;)

I thought about panels but everyone and their mothers have done that.There isnt much to cover though..maybe just the center cab and maybe a hood?

Ill stop by the shop and pick up some aluminum sheet and see if i can come up with some sort of panels

No negative feedback i just don't think the people here that create nice trucks would like your saying "mine is a highend rig so i didn't post it among the homebrew bashers on this site" The truck is nice except i can't beleive you cut up that body :?

My BAD....It does sound harsh....I take that phrase back.

I didnt mean to belittle everyone elses work but I meant High end as in overly built...aka "overkill"

Ive always built full shelf queens but am getting tired of just looking at them. I already built my Hilux basher and am in the process of powdercoating this chassis


originally i planned on a chrome frame, aluminum rims,gearboxes,trans and anodized hardware...But after being here for awhile, IM seeing things in a different prospective

The shocks will get deanodized,frame will get powdercoated.I chucked the ally rims in favor of plastic stockers and IM waiting on a pair of non chrome axles and Lathe motor

eventualy,there will be no chrome

Well i've always thought less is more. Anything more then chrome rims is too much if you ask me. I consider stock bruiser rims bling lol And don't even get me started on 40's rims. This site certainly does change your perspective on things. I'm going to have to build a competition rig too sometime soon when i get more money. The bruiser are so dang expensive. I've got 500 in mine already. I'm thinking of selling it when i'm done just because i can't justify haveing spent so much money on a little truck.

Nice looking "truck", I have never seen a "moon buggy" with a cab before. You might want to look at Hulks rig, that's a moon buggy. I also would like to know where you got that tranny. Is it a one off custom??
