no that I think about it, can someone take my girl friend for a short while, I mean I have a few ideas and projects that I really really want to work on.. every night we do something

last night drove 90 miles to see a friends, night before that I took her a her friends out to a couple bars, we saw not one but two movies this week, went out to dinner with her family one day, and I cant remember tuesday but I think we went out..

damn, add this with just moving into my house, painting, countertops, chair molding, base molding, carpet, a few doors, some tile, drywall, more paint, blinds, another door, lights switches swapped out to match the paint..


anyone ever just get to a point to take their rig to a shop??

Bout time you got back into the buggy build!

I know you've been crazy busy and the buggy looks better since the last time I've seen it. Can't wait to see it completed then watch you tame the rocks for us

i quit reading after post 83, LMAO what did I miss????

 

[supersize75k5]

bought another buggy
I am getting no where on mine and have lost some motivation..


the new one is currently locked 1/2 ton axels, red labe crawlers with trail ready bead locks. t-350 and twin sticked 205 set up for small block or big block, nice cross over clean fab work yada yada

im thinking about tossing in my big block for now, putting in my 1 tons bead locks and 42 inch iroks and changing the rear suspension from a quarter eliptic to a 4 link with my materials and coil overs.. then ading a stak case and heading for the hills


or I could toss a motor in get a to wheel and build mine while still having a rig.. i really like mine but im not motivated and I think I lossed interest. the new one would be ready to go after a motor. battery and radiator

 

[hunterguy86]

I say swap your junk to the new one and go wheeling and finish the other one if you get a mind to.

 

[supersize75k5]

well I pulled an allnighter last night,

got the big block installed, swapped in the dana 60, swapped in the 14 bolt and put on my steering.

also set up the coil overs and started placing my beard seats,

pics to follow when im home, right now I have to go work

 

[pauly383]
