Re:

Josh still has it. We've got the suspension pretty dialed in now, added a sway bar, added some anti-squat and anti-dive. He's bringing it back in the next couple weeks to add air bumps and some other miscellaneous.

I don't think this one is in the all build threads but it should be. The best looing Toyota buggy out there IMO

Took the buggy up to rausch creek had a blast she did great as always did flop it in v notch and blew the diff out if the front axle on 5 hills but i was being pretty ruff on her 3rd gear boost lunches might have been a bit much lol

What let go in the front diff? What kind of locker are you running in it? ECGS set it up for you?

Looks like the housing let go OF the diff.

Something's gotta give when the internals hold up

Maybe compared to built fab9 stuff, but I wouldn't say yotas are cheap with as much polish as you have to use to make them live.

Re:

Well there narrow and i pretty much have them biult to the max and have about 2500 in both. The diffs have 4 more years on warranty and axles are all lifetime lol so i have

to get my use out of paying for them i dont think a 9 inch is worth the upgrade i will have more thrn 2500 in just the diffs and i think 60s are to heavy but chase has already offered me a wicked deal on a custom set but this buggy works beacuse its light i dont want to take that away from it

I'd stick with yotas in it too. They definitely fight above their weight class.

I agree and think they have their place. I would stay yotas. Adding the weight of tons is just the start of the snowball.

Just saying that they aren't cheap either once you get them to take abuse.

A lightweight yota buggy only makes one person happy...the driver. Everyone else is too busy picking their jaws up off the ground.

I haven't looked back through the thread lately...are you going to Harlan Oct. 5-8?
