Also wouldn't be that purdy for long with your night riding record :driving:

some of the best memories i've got are in the mountains at night. no where else i'd rather drink a beer.

I don't have any talent for building either, that's why I had @MarsFab work his magic. Only thing I can take credit for is choosing the vinyl color.

He does some amazing stuff that is for sure.

First ride went great, no issues at all. Rig performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier with it. It was just a few hours at Uwharrie National Forest, so no real obstacles to really test it out but it was still great to finally get it out and enjoy it. Time to start planning some trips for after first of the year.

That's a good report from a first outing. :dblthumb:

@untchabl got any new updates for the buggy?

untchabl · Dec 21, 2022

@ridered3 it's parked in the shop and probably won't make another trip until spring. Not much free time right now between work and the little one.

Totally understandable there. Short days and colder weather doesn't help with riding in the late fall/winter either.

Looking forward to some updates after your trip to Good Evening Ranch. :driving:

Saw this at the Ranch this weekend and it looked amazing, great job on everything!!!

Had a great trip to the Ranch. Buggy did absolutely amazing, not a single issue. Crawled everything I put a tire on.

@MarsFab did a killer job on everything. Buggy is super comfortable to ride in all day and suspension works great.

Nice work @MarsFab

All the tube work is done. Carrier bearing is mounted. Steering column is mounted. Steering reservoir is mounted. Took a few pics at close to ride height. Still have a lot to do but a few steps closer.
