The JK buggy is back home

Jason absolutely knocked it out of the freaking park. He stayed true to his word and completely busted his ass. We worked well together and somehow I managed to keep up with sending him parts as requested. We checked for clearance and anything binding. Jason you are the man! Thanks for building me a badass rig!

Awesome man. You're really taking your time and doing this right. Looks like it's paying off for you.

Is this the owner in normal driving position? I ask because the pedals look high and close

Man I bet your so glad you went with Jason to build this! I think I remember that you had first planned on using someone else? I may be wrong. But dam you made the for sure right choice. That bitch is badass. IMO Jason is one of best. As in one of the best out of ALL the big names, and no names. His **** always is top notch. Well done Jason. And well done buying the parts Kerry. Ha. Kiddin. congrats man. **** is so nice. Hell make a DD out of it! It's to purty!

I don't believe the seats were mounted at that point. Pedal height seems perfect. I`m 5 9 and comfortably in the there. Any taller, it would get a bit cramped.

Yes, I had a deposit in with a big name builder. Also spoke with a bunch of other well known builder. Originally I was going to build more of a bouncer, longer wheelbase, no skins.. and so forth. Once I decided to go a different route Jason and I spoke back and forth. Once we were both happy with the chassis design in Bend Tech, we set a date for me to drop off my parts which was March 28th of last year. Couldn't be happier with his work. :smoke:
