"Just One More" buggy build

[Will miller]

So I purchased this tube chassis a few weeks ago off of the forum from @aftermarket4x4. My plans are to build it over the next several months. It will have...

Chevy 5.3 vortec with 90k miles on it
Turbo 350 w/ reverse manual valve body
2 speed Atlas 3.8 drivers drop

King pin 60 rockcrusher front
35 spline chromo inter and outer shafts
513 gears
Detroit locker

Dana 60 rear
35 spline chromo shafts
513 gears
Detroit locker

That's the basics of what will be going on the buggy. This will be my first buggy build. So I will have lots to learn! We will see how it goes!

Here is the parts Tahoe a.k.a the Tour bus! This thing is a blast and I will be using the axles from the Tahoe for the buggy. In the meantime of building I will be wheeling this massive thing!

So during Dixie run (the first trail) I spun number 8 rod bearing in the tour bus. I decided to pull the motor and rebuild.

It is now back in the Tahoe and running great! It's ready to have some fun in Harlan this upcoming weekend for fall crawl.

Got the Tahoe out and the Buggy chassis in the garage tonight. Excited to start on this thing to say the least!

Can't wait to see this Buggy back on the trails!

About to start taking the Tahoe apart and start on the buggy, decided to take some spares and measure out about where my wheelbase will be
This is at 112"-113"

certainly should sidehill well at that height.
