my rear diff was 2k alone!
if i had 4500.. it would go to a 609
if i had 4500.. it would go to a 609
I have $4500 to get the main thing set up. . . for instance steering, drivetrain etc, 609 is way down the road:awesomework:

I priced out one.. currie center, True hi 9, dedenber outer, Longfields, 5 x 5.5.. ect.
I stopped counting at 6k.. OUCH!

I find it so amusing that folks fixate on the big brand name stuff to build axles...brand name stuff costs $$$
But I guess it's all about the bling

No, not really, its about availability. and whats out there.
Currie center is cheaper than spider, diamond or any others i have found.
Ok, so you build your own.. ever priced inner "c"s.. by the time your done, it would be cheaper to buy it.
If you gonna put a HP up front, then its either currie or HI9.. currie tire size limitation 35" (i would not want a low pinion 9 up front)
Outers, Dedenber is the only rout to go, unless you just happen to have a D60 laying around. (in that case, just put that in there)
Its cheaper to convert the front to 5 lug than new wheels all around and converting my rear HI9 to 8 lug. (1000 bucks for FF conversion)
ok, longfields are BLING.

Actaully, I have built one...it's the same one I've been running for about 7 years now and it didn't cost 6k.
This guy is building a buggy...why would it need to be a HP front?

if your going to go through the trouble of putting a 609 up front.. why wouldn't you?
Ok, you built one.. probably out of parts you had laying around.. kudos.. I would do the same if i had the parts laying around.
But not everybody does.
so, your running a stock 9" case up front?
I'm looking at teh REALITY of it.
ok, sorry to thread jack Anglefly

I run a single rear line lock and a spool with a D300 so I can front dig. It works, works better in the soft/slick stuff, but not so well on rocks. After watching mauler with cutting brakes and detroit I saw his burns are much more effective, but my setup does work.

The other thing with front burns INMNSHO is to really get the fronts spinning and turn hard into the burn.If yer gonna burn'em...BURN'EM and make it count!! Also strategically stopping the rears up against or on something to aid it in NOT moving helps a ton!
Anglefly.....I think youve taken on a mighty challenge and are gonna miss a summer of wheelin.I'd put some cash into yer yota and wheel the piss outa it.

My .02 time.....
1. Forget the rear steer. You don't need it. You don't want it.
2. Put in cutting brakes at any cost. Two masters with two pedals.
3. Don't mess with the three link. Inverted 4link front and rear.
4. Copy, copy, copy. Don't try to be original.
5. Learn the steps in which a buggy shop would take to build their cars.
6. Ask advice from MANY, use the advice from a FEW.
7. Just build it. It's not going be perfect. Accept that fact.

Hey Mark,
You mention not to do rear steer... However, it would seem that if one is building a buggy and would eventually want to take said buggy on stuff like the Outlet Mall (or other technical buggy-only trails), rear steer would be great. More hassle and more to break but a nice feature nonetheless.
Your additional thoughts on the matter? (or anyone elses)?

I second this $4500 at going to get you very far.
Make a priority list of what you need Then price everything out before spending a dime.
Have you looked into the Hendrix ftoy chassis? That could be a option for you! Heres a link to it.
