"pimping on" I can build you a four seat chassis for a few hundred less than that, no square tube "pimping off"

Sounds like a pretty good starting list. Don't forget all the bs at the end that winds up costing you $50-100 trips to the parts store for days on end.

yup a buggy will hundred dollar yer ass to death!!!

We actually call it $500ing to death. Nothing costs a hundered these days. it seems like $500 is the number. You need stuff from Summit $500, Jegs $500, Speedway $500, Poly $500, Oriellys $500

500 you to death is alot more accurate... cause if you go do the 100 dollar a trip runs youll make enough of them to end up at 500 .

Ask me how I found that out. laughing1

( rock mafia... this aint pirate if you wanna pimp your **** feel free to... use the vendors section, butt in on threads and derail the **** outta them whatever. Its all good and the more info and resources folks on this board have, the more informed and better decisions they can make. We all appreciate ALL the vendors that spend time on here and explain were why and how they do things. To ME, that is the correct way to do things. Its a tough market and buyers need to be able to talk to and discuss options and make informed decisions . PIMP AWAY that goes for ALL vendors... )

sorry got on a soapbox for a second...

I would say this happens to 95% of threads on this board.

well, whatcha got for 4 seater? have anything that doesnt look like jeep or toyota? what kinda price are we talkin? lead time? PM me if you wish or post up for everyone to see.

I know about all the BS, I have been through it on my truck a couple of times. thats why I posted this thread, to help get a decent list started and start buying stuff now. I know there will be somethings that will come up....its a given.
bolts, wires, connectors, hoses, fasteners for the skins, hood pins, bracktes, tabs, lights, radio!, speakers, bla bla bla

thanks for the input so far guys.

If I were building a chassis and wanted a sweet unit at a reasonable price I will call Jim in a heart beat. He is the best bargain in the chassis market today and his stuff looks and works great!

Hell man, you've already front halfed your frame, why not hack the ass off get the suspension sat down and bumped out and do something more trial worthy but keep your cab ??

Maybe a lil along the lines of the S10 Woodlee built ?

:popcorn:

Paul, that was my first intention actually. dependiong on what I come up with, something like that may happen anyway. it all depends on the fundage. I am waiting on some money from the guard, plus my monthly guard checks will definately help fund the build. I just dont want to tear it down yet, I have a few rides this summer/fall that I still want to go on. we'll see.

I have most of the stuff you listed there, other than the brake and gas pedal.

I would look at the Rogue Quattro too. That is a wicked cool chassis.

The Rogue Quattro is our 4 seater chassis. It's definitely large enough for a big guy to run around in, but if you don't plan on carrying more than one passenger, you should check out our Rogue 2 seater chassis.

A couple of features about our chassis':
- Each one comes with a built in winch plate & front stinger, what you see is what you get.
- Our Chassis has a subframe built in as a part of the chassis. No need to add that later. Just start mounting your drivetrain
- Built in tow-points come standard on the front of our chassis.
- We have the exterior skins available to purchase seperately for our chassis. If you damage one & need a replacement, we can cut another on our CNC plasma table to make your rig look brand new again.

***The first 10 Chassis we sell in '08 will recieve some smoking deals on mounting bracketry!!***

4 Sold Already!

Rogue Quattro:

K.O.R.E. 2 Seater Rogue Chassis:

Both of our chassis are 54" wide and are designed to use a FJ hood & grill combo.

We have an entire line of brackets designed to be used on our chassis making setup a breeze. We also have certain locations built into our chassis for placement of these brackets.

The boatsides on our chassis have two tubes on front & back that we place strategically for mounting the upper control arms to. They are angled to point the upper arms from the out side of the chassis towards the center of the axles.

The front and rear tubes in our 'subframe' are 1.75" x .250" wall DOM. These are the mounting points for the lower control arms. On the front we suggest going with a slightly triangulated lower to clear the tires & on the rear, we suggest going with a traditional double triangulated setup.

Here's a couple of pictures showing the mounting points.

Bracket we make that can be used for upper control arm mounts on chassis, motor mounts, and even trans/t-case crossmember mounts.

Tabs for mounting front lowers

I'd seriously consider this option. I've spoken to 3 or 4 guys that went with his chassis or a turn key buggy and every single one is happy.

Disclaimer: I know Jim but we're not close or anything. As a matter of fact, he isn't even nice to me. :flipoff1:
