Single seat rear engine buggy build

[Pineygroveoffroad]

X2. Really nice and unique build.

I'm also very interested to know where you normally wheel.

I wheel at local places close to my home town. A good friend I ride with owns a small private park here in Somerset KY and its literally like 2 miles from my house so we ride it a lot. A good riding friend owns a big park in Manchester KY that we ride a lot but its a invite only type of deal, I ride a local spot called Sandsprings which is located between Somerset KY and Mt.Vernon KY its mainly private land. I usually go to Harlan 2-3 times a year, We rode Pumpjack Offroad a lot in Columbia KY but it recently shutdown. I'd like to venture more south to the popular parks like Windrock, Golden Mtn, AOP and etc. I've been to SRRS events at these parks but never wheeled any of them. Anyway I ride stuff close to home. Thanks for complements guys!

Good deal. We should get together, hell we're practically neighbors. I'm over on Blaze Valley just past the Ridners.

Man I've been by your house a million times and seen rigs sitting in your driveway and garage and always wondered who you was. I live off of Piney Grove, I'll stop by and meet ya.

Man I dig this buggy, how did you keep the chassis square to the axles as you were building it? Nice work!

So, you make any progress on this? Really interested to see how it turns out.

What kind of horse power do these newer 4.3s put out?

Ah work issues with me and my wife due to covid BS have slowed progress. I have everything bought to finish except for the engine stand alone wiring harness. So hopefully by spring of next year I'll have it going.

Around 300ish?

Done yet?

Done yet?

Man unfortunately no. With all this Covid BS in the past year, work being slow, and waiting on a wiring harness still! Luckily work has picked back up recently. The company I contacted about building a stand alone harness is supposed to let me know something soon on that. So hopefully by the end of summer I'll have it finished

That's both 100% understandable and 100% unfortunate too!

Finally getting around to finishing this thing!!!

Did you go 40 or 43" Mickey's?

Aren't the 43"s basically 40"s anyway?

Pretty much. But i like mine.

40's. They are the same height as the 40 Treps that they replaced. I haven't tried them out yet tho? My father has 43 Mickey's and he likes them other than the shorter height than the SX he had ran.

Thats badass. The proportions make it look like a rzr buggy. Im interested to see the weight bias.
