Went out with the buggies this weekend. I didn't get alot of pics, But here's some.

Here's another of Morris buried, I cleaned this hole later in the day. In 2 wheel drive.

 

Those look like some interesting buggies although they need some bigger tires IMO.

Otherwise good run you had there

 

Cool...those look fun!!!

 

x2 those look like ATV's rims and tires... all good though

 

Wider tires to be a bit more specific.

 

We like building stuff that's different, and yes they are 4 wheeler tires. The buggies started life as subaru wagons. We made them as small as possible using a car platform. The tires can't get any larger because of the gear ratio, I'm playing around with the idea of a divorced t-case from a old nissan truck. But If I go that far I just might as well build a jeep. There fun the way they are and if you stay out of the deep mud they are unstopable.

 

Mmmm...once the smart-car gets a little older........



For those of you who don't know what a smart-car is, it's a Mercedes built car-like thing for downtown people to drive...


And here's what someone with too much time on their hands did to one of them...





Later.

 

Looks like a stomper..

 

So those are the infamous buggies I heard about at the Jeep show. Looks like fun, Jon!

 

Do you the stock struts and what not??

 

Yea, we use everything. Struts, steering column, dash, radiator, struts and front and rear carriage. Them we build a chassis and cage. Last one took about a month and a half of fab work and about 3,000 dollars.

 

I'm sure this requires a lot of work...
Can't imagine they came up with this kind of modification...
But I really like it!

 

There is a video of it on youtube. FIFTH GEAR took it out for a drive.

 

Man that thing looks looks like its got a turbo diesel
