first buggy build

[TweakedKnee]

I'be been wanting to build a sand/mud buggy for a while now (why trash my jeep when i can build a toy for less and not worry about breaking my daily driver).
And Badlands' ST2 was the style I was looking for.

• Powered by a Yamaha XS850 triple
  '65 Triumph rear differential (custom IRS suspension)
  Woodward Rack and Pinion steering
  ST long travel nitrogen struts (when I can afford them)
  14X8 rims up front, 15X13 on the back.
  and whatever else to make it a lightweight and fast lil' rig.

If you need more room we can keep the camaro at my house.

Not to bad cool style and looking pretty good so far.
Keep us posted and keep the good pics coming.




Oh and atleast I am not the only one who still sites in my cars and pretends to drive

Sorry about not getting some more recent pics up. I've been working 20+ hours of O.T. as well as going to P.C.C. full time, so I've been kinda busy. hopefully I can get some more pics up tomorrow. The frame is almost completely done and soon it's time for the a-arms and then to get it rolling!

Never heard of these. *Do you have any info on them? *Any pix? *How do they compare against Fox Air Shox? *Pricing?

I hope you were making buggy noises in that picture. *You HAVE to make noises when you pretend to drive. *

Chassis looks good so far. *Looking forward to the newer pix.
