I presume you've seen the thread, but this chassis has similar lines and frame setup to what you are planning. Just more ideas for the mix. I dig it.

Yeah I probably should have bought one the first 10 chassis that he sold for $1000...

Mine will look pretty close to that, but with a little different subframe.

I'm starting on a Trail Buggy, not really a bouncer and not a comp crawler.

Wasn't aware people built these anymore.

Got all my axle parts in, lots of work to do to them, bore unit bearings, machine inner shafts for full circle clips... assemble...

Did inventory on all my tabs and brackets, ordered some more stuff from DIY4X

I've also been installing bumpers/rocksliders/cage on my Tacoma garbage truck, so I havent got started on the chassis yet...

Anyone have any thought ons fabrcated diff covers like Barnes 4wd vs the case SOLID covers? (Solid covers are only $65 vs $120 for Barnes)

or

I had a SOLID diff cover for the 14 bolt under my old rig and it was nice! :dblthumb:

Both of his leak and the front is in worse shape than this one. I'm a fan of the fabricated covers myself. Got the btf ones on mine

That's what I was afraid of...

I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of them too.

Every forum I've looked at has VERY mixed reviews of them...
