CheapJ7 · Sep 17, 2009

Guy approaches me on pirate last week and wants to trade his buggy for the taco when I get it back from EOR...

HIGHLY doubt i even consider it.. but i'll fill you guys in just for kicks...

Here are a few:

They should be pretty self explanatory. If you have any questions just holler.
quick rundown of stuff you can't see:
108" wheelbase
22r with turbo (9 lbs. boost)
dual cases
HP front
3 link front 4 link rear
flex joints at ALL ends
longfields
full hydro (PSC pump)
40" Creepy crawler stickies
It's unbelievable how tough this thing is cause it's so light

you keep your tires and it prolly wouldnt be that bad... at least no body to **** up... :****:

BamaTJ · Sep 17, 2009

Why not dude? Tell him to keep his tires and you keep yours. Looks like a nice lil rig

CheapJ7 · Sep 17, 2009

Yea, I'd def keep the Krawlers in the swap...

I just can't see trading right off since i haven't even wheeled the taco yet, have no clue how its going to perform and how happy i'm gonna be with it...
and i'm hesitant to downgrade to yota axles...

But we'll see.. I've got to get my rig back first anyway...

jrhall · Sep 17, 2009

yota axles with longs= badass.. easy hub upgrade and you should be fine with 39s

BamaTJ · Sep 17, 2009

Yeah it is yota axles, but probably 2500lbs. Nolen's old bash buggy was a badass rig with the same basic drivetrain at less than 2500lbs. If you are going to buggy yours anyways down the road, save your self the time and do it now. You can always add one tons later if needed.

Dammit I was looking for some justification to be perfectly fine with what I have and the money ive spend so far...
Now you guys go and fawk me all up.. :flipoff1:

I hate 4wheelin ;D

**** Toyota axles. Longs or not. Not a chance I'd buy a rig with all that and tinfoil housings

Stickies on Toyota axles? Keep the gheytaco on tons.

BamaTJ · Sep 17, 2009

There are good and bad to both, downside with the yota is a full body vehicle, I know how that is. Downside with the buggy is yota axles and big stickies.

I have already told you my thoughts on you gettin a buggy.

I need you to keep the taco a little longer though so i will have somewhere torie until mine is done.

Whats his reason for wanting to trade?

blacksheep10 · Sep 17, 2009

less seats more breakage

CheapJ7 · Sep 17, 2009

guys wanting to trade into a 4 seat rig...

I'm not worried one bit about body damage.. :spin:

and the big stickies even with longs scare me...

But he's located in chattanooga.. i told him i'd come take a look at it after i get the GheyRide goin...

3 tons o fun · Sep 18, 2009

4 seats

I would keep yours. You know what you got and it does look sick at that stance. The lite weight buggy would be nice but the yota axles with birfields will not hold up like 1 ton stuff. Get yours back and wheel it a few times.

Thats def. the plan...
I'm not sure I could ever part with the ol gal.. Too many good times... :drinkers:

I hear Paul talk all the time about how he misses the Turd.. Just for sentimental sake..

I know the guy who built that buggy. It's works pretty well. It's was a good running buggy, but the week part is the ring gears. The turbo setup is pretty cool with the exaust coming out in front and it sounds pretty neat. Post up on N.C 4x4 or Talk to Travis or Greg Stone they've wheeled with the buggy and the owner alot. I think the original owner got tired of it and started building another rig. I think he sold it about 7-8 months ago.

Oh ****, that's the one that was at MM when cole was doing psyclones and rolled his **** right before the garage door 8.1 was doing them in the parking lot? awesome. Looks cleaned up a bit. That thing really did go up about anything.

No, I think your talking about Cassidy. He had the all tube moonbuggy looking toy with the turbo, but all those guys run within the same circles so this buggy would be close to the same.
