Hello everyone this will be my first post here.
a couple years back my buddy purchased a TiTan II buggy the first day they took it out it was rolled it and then overheated it and siezed the engine it spent the next several months rehabilitating in my shop .
I have built a cage out of 1 1/2" 120 wall mild steel and rebuilt the engine adding a web cam porting the head and fabricating/ machineing intake and exhaust manifolds for a larger carb and 1.5" exhaust pipe. ended up completely removing all the junk wiring and replacing with decent switches and wire...... SO it's finally reliable it has been a guest ride wen we go to the dunes and is actually fun to drive on the trails but it still lacks enough power for big climbs in the the sand.

Last fall my buddy wanted to free up some space in his garage and sold me the buggy for a price i couldnot refuse

I will be upgrading the front suspencion to something that will travel about 12" and fix the bumpsteer.

For Go power I have a water cooled artic cat ELtrigre sled that is will be giving up it's engine and clutch system to repower the buggy.

I have an older pic here,, actually I haven't got much further on it,, too much work lately but I'm just about ready to nail together the rear suspension.The frame is my own design but used some features from pictures that I got on this site. K-fabs Briggs Gen car pics provided the size of the buggy mostly,, a 4X8 sheet of plywood would eclipse the entire buggy you see.
