Looks good man nice work :dblthumb:

I am stupid happy with how this turned out. It feels and looks very compact in person. I think the only regret I have at this point was not incorporating rear steer into the original build. Other than that, I am happier than josh on a Honda Davidson, Eric at all you can eat sushi, plowboy flipped over, John G having something painted purple, and bug-e j joining the bat mobile fan club combined.

Measured today this is with 8 inches of shaft showing on front and 9.5 on rear, with 16 inch shocks.
The front axle has 6 inches of up travel, if the axle stays flat with the frame. With an additional 2 inches for the axle to articulate up past bumps.

Wheel base 120
Overall length. 160
Height. 76
Width. 90
Belly. 19

What spring do you have and what do you need? My buggy sits about 2" too high with 200x16 over 250 18s front and 175x16 over 200x18 rear. I'd pay shipping if we trading any would benefit us both.

Rig is in storage for a couple of months. :'(
The only spring that you would want would be 250x16 but you would need the little keeper spring. I'll post all my used springs on here when I get home.

Storage? Figured you'd be dying to wheel it by now.

Eddyj · May 11, 2015

Headed to storage. :'(
