Tennessee Mojo - 2015 Wide Open Design build

The whole time I was reading this I was thinking of the warranty scene in Tommy Boy

Hell yes!

Got any updates on this one?

Yes, quite a lot more to report on this one. I see the last update in the thread was the rear axle swap. The very next ride Jessica decided to do a back flip on trail 46 at AOP and crunched the entire front end from the A pillar forward. Luckily for us Cody Gregory (the original builder of the chassis) was willing to take on the job. He cut the front end off and basically redid it to better than it was before. It also got a new engine skid and we took the opportunity to replace the piece of **** leaking Griffin radiator which was hard mounted on pucks with a new unit from CBR and cradle mount. Cody did an unreal job with the work and if it wasn't for the lack of matching powder you'd never know it. At some point this buggy will go to @wizzo and get the rebuild treatment he gave mine. After we got the buggy back from Cody we had a few good rides, she got her revenge on 46, and then she stripped a R&P and snapped a 4340 RCV inner. It was the only 4340 we had not upgraded to 300m. I got the buggy torn down in the shop and all the parts I needed lined up and the Easter Tornado of 2020 came through and ripped the roof off my shop. Not ideal! I spent months getting that situation taken care of, it was spring/summer by then so we weren't riding anyway. Come fall 2020 I got back around to buttoning her buggy up and it has been good since then. The only changes left on the slate for this ride is a 40 spline 14 bolt front and freshened up Atlas w/race case. She has a good 3.0 but it's old and still in an old style case. Whenever we decide to send it to Wizzo for the facelift we'll do those mods at that time and she'll be 100% dialed.

Thanks for updating this. I didn't realize that about the backflip or the shop roof.

was slightly humorous at aop when she kept picking insulation out of her roof riding around.

Couple pics of the night at aop. The pic of her buggy and mine is actually my phone's wallpaper

@redneckengineered got any updates on this buggy and/or your buggy?

Ha, funny you ask. We did some riding in the month of November and had a blast, but if you go back to my thread I mentioned I was about to order some new wheels and tires because I was sick of all the issues I was having out of my Trail Ready's. I placed that order in early December, then sold my tires to a good friend. Wheels were in stock but my tires showed up May 20th By then I had already put my boat in the water and was in full blown lake mode. I am looking forward to mounting up these SXs on the Method's I ordered. They have a redesigned inner bead that I'm very optimistic about. But I doubt I'll get back into the woods until Octoberish when I pull the boat out for winter.

That rock did zero damage. It loosened the brake fitting as cleanly as if you had done it with a wrench.

First trip to Hawk Pride was pretty awesome.

I knew it was water season for y'all so figured it was time for updates. That stinks on the delay for tires!

Where/who did you order tires from that took that long? I ask not knowing if Super Swamper had delays during that time or not.
