Yea, that is very close to me, about 30 minutes. Just passed through there last weekend. I wheeled with a couple of those guys back in the summer at the Waterloo property.

I talked to them at our once a month meeting and they said your blue rig went everywhere with no issues. It's been years since I've been over there, maybe 6 or so. Alex wadded up his front suspension from what he said over there on one of the hill climbs.

That was nice of them to say. Yea I felt bad for Alex. He had some pretty catastrophic failure early on.

Not too many people live north of me on here, but you are way up there. But otherwise you definitely would be more than welcome.

Tapped the side of the tcase, built this side mount set up. Don't mind the bolt/nut set up. Didn't have the right length at the time.

Both seats are mounted. This **** is a tight fit.

Added some material to the lower link mounts.

Rear shock mounts

Radiator is mounted. Not all mounts are shown in this pic. It will be floating.

Looking good Zach

might have to get down there and do some wheelin and check it out :smoke:

are you running those seats or just doing mock-ups with them? that would worry me not being a suspension type seat with a hard roll over or rough landing :dunno:

I've been in a brutal rollover and was thankful to have my corbeau's. walked away with only a broken collarbone

Beerj · Nov 6, 2015

Looking

man. I feel ya on the tight fit too. Finding somewhere to put the seats is on my top 3 list of pains in the ass so far. I see you went with the $179 griffin special too. laughing1. I was pretty happy when I found out about them. Screw paying 3-500 for a rad if I don't have to.

Can't freaking wait to wheel again. As for the seats, it is what I am going to have to run. I plan to get the pads for them, and I will have lots of up travel. ...but yea, it is not ideal. Where they had to go, I had no choice but to run kirkey's, and even had to massage 1 to get it to fit over the Tcase.

Thanks fellow current builder brethren. 8) You called it right on the radiator!

1tfrot · Nov 6, 2015

I hear ya. It was a year between when i had the accident and having the new buggy built. It was the longest year of my life :****:

That being said, take your time and do it right. You will thank yourself in the long run when you're wheelin! 8)

That Chassis was built around these. Why you having trouble with the kirkeys?

Beerj · Nov 6, 2015

I'm gonna guess the transfer case is part of the issue

nhl_bullitt · Nov 6, 2015

Being 6' is near the limits of the chassis. BUT... the 700r4 is 3" longer than a th350 which forced the seat to be all the way back, and directly under where the top of the chassis slopes back down. The transfer case did not allow the seat to be underneath the highest part of the roof.

FullThrottle89 · Nov 6, 2015

Makes sense now.

I have a couple th350's if you're interested in them.
