54" LS2 JK Buggy Build

KPatterson · Mar 27, 2015

After 2+ years away from wheeling, and building my business I decided it was time to do something about it. I had bought a Salvaged-Rebuilt 2005 GTO to play with but decided it wasn't my thing, so I parted it out and kept the low mileage LS2 to build a buggy around. JDuck on here is building it as a roller with everything mounted. I`m going to do the wiring, plumbing, tear down, powdercoat and rebuild. Looking forward to get back into the wheeling game. :smoke: And yes, I gave in and got the GF pink harnesses as a Christmas gift. :****:
Plans:
54" Fiberglass JK front clip
6.0 LS2 with some goodies. Estimated 510 horses
Hughes TH400 2400 stall
205 or Atlas
Chevy 60 456s, Detroit, Reid knuckles, Artec trusses, 300M RCV shafts
14 Bolt 456s Detroit Artec truss
43sx on Creeper Locks
1.25" heims
Fox 2.5 14 remote res coilovers front and rear. Fox 2.0 3" bumps upfront
PSC double ended full hydro
Corbeau Baja SS seats
RJS Harnesses
Polished aluminum links

Guess the title is a little deceiving, made yall look though :wtflol:

Here is what Jason came up with in Bend-Tech, of course it will have more bracing and support in required areas.
