I like his work too.  I was looking at his webpage and you can tell he takes pride in his work.  That is about $1000 less than most are charging for a chassis these days.


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



Chassis-See comment above


new engine harness-Jim's Performance is your friend


custom fuel cell-Why go custom?  Stick a Summit plastic 10-12 gallon cell back there and peel out


DPI 14” struts-What are your plans with the buggy?  If I were strickly rockcrawling with little long distance fast stuff, I would do 2.5" air shocks and save the jingle


Atlas 3.8-Get it


drive shafts-Go local with this, shipping is a killer


steering wheel-PSC


non adjustable column kit-PSC


WW-340-1290 single MC, high volume, .75” bore-polyperformance.com or cnc.com, I prefer CNC over Wilwood myself


skid material-Plastic?


skins and hood material-KORE Rogue Quattro has cool hood and skins IMO


brake lines--nylon kit from Speedway


fuel lines Summit


5 point harness -Summit


cutting brakes-CNC


new hydro hoses (local)


here is what I have:

5.3L V8

4L60E

42x14x17 IROKs on TRs

Dana 60 front chromo 35 spline inner/outer

Dana 60 rear (getting a 70 soon I hope) w/ disc brakes-Why not just build the 60 since you have it and the brakes already?

PRP seats

B&M pro stick shifter

RCI fuel cell-Why not re-use this?

Warn 9.5ti

Howe dual pass radiator w/ taurus fan

Full hydro steering kit

16" SAW coilovers-I would buy 2 more of these and leave the "struts" to the racers unless you are planning on racing.  Most low buggys run 14" coilovers in the front at least


I am thinking about using 7075 for my lowers and 1.5" DOM for the uppers.   what about link ends?  I am currently using 3/4x3/4 in the front 3/4x5/8 in the rear.    should I upgrade to a rebuildable joint?   will one of those rebuildable joints fit in the link mounts already on the axle?


I went with Branik Motorsports for all of my links and rod ends.  I did 2" 7075 with 1 1/4 QA1 heims on the lowers and 3/4 QA1 heims on 1.5" 7075 uppers  I used to like rebuildable joints until I got my first set of QA1 (read quality) heim joints,  The ones i used in the past were cheap and made me switch to rebuildable stuff.  Either way, Branik will hook you up


Thanks
