She certainly was a good one. I wish the current owner... don't know who it is now, would put her back in service. (I think it's changed hands about 3 times so far). I sold it only needing a motor (and harness) and th350... seriously, even sent it with the steering pump and exhaust manifolds...????

It worked too well, and looked good doing it, to sit in a building collecting dust.

Saw this at rbd it€™s awesome!

Thanks, it was nice meeting you guys!... And seeing that super slick new buggy.

Congrats on completion.... if any buggy is ever complete..

Forgive me if you've posted this but how did you go about getting it tagged in NC? I could have a lot more fun if I could get a tag on my buggy..

So true.
Nothing special, went to dmv with title and inspection slip, paid and walked out with a tag, its still a 1990 jeep Comanche pickup as far as the state is concerned. No emissions in my county, only visual safety inspection.

Happen to get any videos of this beast in action at RBD?

You need to start another build thread so we have something to follow!

No, my co-pilot (11 yr old) too lazy to get out, even to help with the winch.

Hopefully soon.


Still more to come, thread isn't over yet!

How did you manage to go to a park, named after the biggest offroad film company in the universe, where cameras are stashed in every tree and rock, and escape without getting a single video? This thing is truly a sleeper.


Or you're actually Fab1.....

You got me....




I got a free 05 sd60 axle sitting here.... but my wife charges $650 per hour to drive past the house to the shop ...



Beats the hell out of me on the film comment, but the times I saw Matt in the woods, he was riding with his bouncer and others, behind us. Chatted with Cole many times at the pavilion... but never saw him in the woods. Both @madram11 and @bustedknucklefims did a walk around at the pavilion beside Cole's trailer though, that was pretty cool.

Did talk to Carter, and Ricky B @speeding, about somewhere to get the truck up to speed, but there was a campground speed limit in effect, and we didn't want to invite any unwelcome attention, or cause any problems... maybe next time.

Yea man, that was a good evening ride!

A little more tuning/ seat time and she'll be even better. It's a blast to drive on the road as well, handles better than anything else I own, lol.

We'll do it again soon.

Yea, I feel like I didn't get to meet a lot of hard liners. The ones I did, don't know if I know them all by their screen names lol.

How does it do at speed? Had it up to 70-80 mph yet?

Do you think you could use it as a hardcore expedition vehicle?

I've been going back and forth about having a mechanical link and saw Goatbuilt's subframe for a 3-link.
