And you asked if I was ever going to run it! This is a shelf queen beater for sure! I planned it, built and beat it. And it didn't disappoint me!

Hands down the best southern buggy i have ever seen, well done"thumbsup"

 

[Ricochet]

What did you use for your shock mounts ?

 

[Bananaclip]

BD, she turned out brilliant! "thumbsup"

 

[Bulldog]

Thanks guys,

Ricochet, for the shock mounts I just used some steel stock, cut it close to shape it, then clamped it in a vise grip and put it on the grinder to shape it. Then I touched it up with a dremel. To mount it to the tube, I put a long 3mm screw and two nuts on either side, then held it with a helping hand away from the heat. "thumbsup"

 

[Ricochet]

Ok, thanks Bulldog. That's kinda what I figured you did but just wanted to check.

Thanks guys, I pulled it apart to find out why I ended up with one wheel drive at the end of the video. It turns out that the lockers' set screw (highland crawler locker) backed out. I put locktite on them, but I guess it didn't hold. The pisser of it all was I could have fixed it in the field, but the hardware is standard, and I didn't have a hex to fit it. I think I salvaged enough film though. Made for a great Video! I think I have more to come. The next one will have more rock crawling and technical footage. Stay tuned!"thumbsup"8)

so just curious....about how many hrs do you have into building this badboy? and i have to say some pretty good ingenuity going on there too! dig the ram setup and the oh so cool driver! i guess being a dad gives you that much needed patience,huh? I agree! after dealing w my 9 y.o. daughter i now have the patience of a saint,lol

I realized the key to this hobby was...there's no rush. The more I got frustrated with not being able to build, the more I stressed out. But, I realized, If I didn't get anything done, who was it hurting? Absolutely no one. It's in the shop, there when I can get to it. As for hours... I can't say. It took close to a year from planning to completion. If I did it again focused, it would probably take a month! It's done, and I'm at ease. I tell my wife...it's like a classic car waiting for a restoration. As long as I know it's out there, I'm happy. "thumbsup"

we need more videos. once again great job. "thumbsup"

 

[Bulldog]

More videos to come for sure."thumbsup"

wheelin pics!

So I took the buggy out so I could remove some paint on the chassis! The day was almost a bust as both my front shocks decided to spin apart and spew springs in the rocks! Luckily I found all the parts and had tools at the ready. I got some killer footage for another movie, but don't want to rush it. Here's some pretty wheelin pics in the meantime.

Thanks for looking, this thing drives like a dream!

Just awesome, probably the best southern buggy build I've seen. Love the photos. I also had problems with those shocks loosening up and loosing springs, I finally red loctited them.

Keep the vids coming! Sadly I think there is a lack in southern buggy videos for others to watch, which is what got most of us into them in the first place.

Keep up the carnage :twisted:
