few questions for you, roughly how many feet of tubing did you use to do this rig? and what kind of percautions did you take when you took most the floor out( if any ) to make sure nothing got tweaked such as the unibody, and lastly I noticed you are using a lincoln welder are you even using gas to make these welds?

Its only been out for one trip, albeit a two week long trip, so it has its shake down run in. There are things that need to be done before Goatfest and it would have been nice to go out to JV, but it didn't work out.
Next time....
although I still have not built a buggy yet.....

I bought 400' of tube and I have not counted what was left....:dunno:
No floor removal, and the cage should support the body from too much tweaking, although these things tend to start cracking no matter what you do....

Oh I thought it looked like a stud, but I saw "noise in the rear end" and was trying to figure out where a bolt like that would go IN an axle.
Hmm, I just wrote "stud" and "rear end" in one sentence. No fixing please.

Rick, I don't have 14 years to read through the build. What tubing did you use?
OD: 1.5", 1.75", 2" ?
Wall: .09", .12" ?
Material: HREW, DOM?
Thanks you sand lizard desert creature.
p.s. Actually I did read through the thread and it only took me 2 hours, but I didn't see what you used for tubing other than you bought 400'
