so with the sides skinned the way they are, how hard is it to get in?

It's not to bad..I just use the rear springs as step...then climb over the top.

I'm not sure if I want to build a rocker that I can step on or what...
I'm still looking for ideas...:wink1:

Your buggy reminds me of a friends K5 buggy he built. Although square tubing its concept is the same; tubing on a k5 frame, simple and keep it chevy!

Mark....that looks more like a hummer...
I bet I'm lighter at 4400 lbs..
 
I was just thinking how light that looked. I would've never guessed 4400lbs. But I guess it does have 1 tons, steel wheel & locks.

Are those your 44's or 38's, it's hard to tell without a body.

Are you gonna have your winch on there soon.

James' K5 is hummeristic, with a tuneport 350 it run very strong but seems to be on the end of a strap alot.

44's on DIY beadlocks..

Remember member "BILLY RAY"...I think he was from texas...
His rig...the scorpion and the formula toy were the rigs that inspired me.:wink1:

I cut all the factory crossmembers from the frame..replaced them with tubing. I really put my rig on a diet...it was 5800 lbs.
