Fun stuff eh.

 

Rivnuts are soooooooo three yrs ago :sonicjay:

 

Working on the floor...

 

Floor, seat location, and floor bracing brings the suck :whiz:

 

Good luck. I keep thinking the next job will be better, but it gets worse and worse.

 

Keep your eye on the prize, this buggy is going to be Awesome.

 

FYI, these are badass!

Those are sweet.

 

Those are pretty sweet, but I don't know if there $150 sweet :sonicjay:. Might not be a bad deal for my seat. Being as I want my wife to drive this as well and shes short :teehee:.




I am setup to go round 3 with the floor :sonicjay: First two attempts have been scrapped and started over. Ony about $200 in materials and 12 hrs of time spent on the first two rounds :fish:. I am gonna wait for round 3 though, gonna focus on some other aspects like getting the rear links made and mounts done etc.. I need to measure for my aluminum lowers.

 

Figured drivers side only for wife and kid......eventually

 

Was reading there Pirate thread, thats who I bought my orbital mount from off ebay.

 

That is the plan. Pass seat doesnt need to move.

 

Making any progress on this thing tonight?

 

I got two hrs in lol. Ripped out all the work i got done on the floor to start over. Then got my rear lower link mount tacked in and put those mock up links on the uppers. Then had to go to inlaws :whiz:

 

isnt building buggies fun!!

 

Got mock up links installed on the rear and the brackets tacked into place.

 

Looking great!

 

With where the lower link mount ended up, it looks like pulling the tcase will be a pita :sonicjay:

 

Don't worry John, you will never break it.

 

:sonicjay:
At least you're already mentally preparing yourself for that. Every build seems to have one of those features, you just got yours out of the way early.

 

Lookin good John

 

Nice work John, It should be a worthy contender in the 2013 mustache run.

 

How do the numbers look?

 

Nice 4 link ! :thumb:

 

Idk. Tacked it in cycled once and went to bed :sonicjay:

 

Troof

 

Updated from measurements

I'll put a corrected version up and a little different version to get the roll axis angle down.

 

Take a peek, what say you suspension peoples? Advantage of roll axis angle make enough of a difference to move the lowers out and loose 4 deg or so?
Bringing the rear lowers at the axle up to 19in drops the AS down to 60% but moves the IC out to about the front axle. I don't claim to be an expert, I just plug numbers.....
