Yeah, I saw that one. I do not think there is anything on Pirate I have not seen. But keep 'em coming, I may have missed something.

 

[wngrog]

I actually like that buggy a lot. Looks like it has great visability.

So what about this buggy? I thought someone was gonna buy my jeep last week and if they would have, I was goin to get this one.

That is a great rig too. The only thing I do not like about it is the 14bolt. I love a 14b in a full size rig, but in a bling ride like that, there needs to be a 9" in my opinion.

That is a great price for such a nice build.

I have a friend with a Diablo (one of the BTG guys in Phoenix) and the chassis is junk. He had to reweld the entire thing and place supports in 3 different spots where the frame stress cracked. If I were buying that rig, I would fly out and check out the welds and stuff.

If it were 25K I would buy it sight unseen, but for 35k it needs to be done right.

David's big ass needs at least a 54" chassis in my opinion. Squeezing that monster in a 48" buggy is not going to be a fun, all day thing.

His best bet is to get Trent Fab to send him a chassis and let him fit it to his body. Anything off the shelf is goig to be tight for him.

David is way too big for an off the shelf chassis. **** I'm almost getting there if I don't handcuff myself to a treadmill soon. He should have Ben build him another Big Buddy Judy....LOL, that thing is huge by huge.

Agreed $35k is a silly price, at that point you buy Scott Ellingers "Rockstomper" buggy. The Diablo certianly looks the part though. I cant believe that story about a Diablo chassis being all banged up and having to reweld everything. Thats some ****. Nolan sight unseen at $25k, ****, you are bold. I couldn't spend $1k without seeing it in person and looking something over.

 

[P]

Screw you man... 14Bs are kickass and free / cheap dont be a hater.

Ive never witnessed first hand a 14b break, ( I know it happens here and there rarely ) Ive seen plenty of blingy high dollar 9" s pop this season alone.



( shave the lip off the bottom of the 14B and roll out on the cheap and dirty with no worries )

This rig is way better than Scott's rig. His is beat man...beat.

I am not a 14b hater by any stretch, I just dont think it belongs in a small light buggy. A LP D60 would be better IMO.

David is a large dude, he will need something built to his size. David doesn't have it like the rest of us where we can lose weight, that guy is just a stout dude and aint no changin that!

 

[under_psi]

david actually fits nicely in my buggy, side by side with me....

he was showing interest in one that was 1/2 narrower that stinky...and mine is 44.5" wide @ the inside of the tubes....

Ill still whoop his big ass with my shirt off

 

[P]

Im going to run mine 50" wide center to center. I really cant justify (to myself and for my needs ) much narrower than that. Plus my seats would be all bunched up

 

[InDaShop]

You mean like this right? What color of purple is that again?

Paul remember most aftermarket race hoods are for 48" wide chassis. You may have to neck your's a bit narrower at the "A' pillar and widen it to 50" by the time it gets to your shoulders.

I've seen Krawlfreak's buggy up close and personal. Worth every penny at $35k. It is VERY detailed and VERY simple and VERY bling. I like the **** otuta it.


As far as scott ellinger's buggy.... I wouldn't buy it with YOUR money. It is VERY beat as Nolen said

**** man... Joe cut and widened the **** outta his hood to fit the Mac Daddy chassis LOL I got da body man connection

( Im still way up in the air on a hood or grille for mine....It wont be a fuggin Jeep though )

 

[DavidsCJ7]

Yeah, there aren't very many buggys built to fit me. Something will come up that I like, one day. Until then I will just keep wheelin the 7.

 

[1TONZR2]

I think I will have the same problem finding a chassis......6'7" 260lbs.....its fun sittin in my S10.
