AJK Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 What are some popular chassis? What motor trans combo do you prefer? Is rear steer a must? Link to comment
Spareparts Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Rear steer.. your either doing it now or later…. chassis there is entry level and full blown crazy.. I like my bomber chassis, there is jimmys, Fabn801, Trent fab, lots…. im trying a new engine to me doing an l86 with th400 since I know the trans works.. simplicity ls3 or 5.3/6.0. Motors are just flat easy to setup 1 Link to comment

Weebz Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Why does everything keep coming back to Goat Built! Those damn high roof lines kill me. Link to comment

Weebz Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I like 4 seaters. Like 3 seaters better. 1 Link to comment

AJK Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Because I have a wife and kid who I don't think would ever crawl in the buggy with me is four-seater really even worth it? Link to comment

That was where I was. Looking at three seaters for a bit I realized quickly that two things were reality. 1) I don’t think my kids would ever want to be in there doing those things. 2) I don’t think I would want my kids in with me even if they did want to try. Risk is just too high in many cases. Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 With its own truck, and already in buggy Mecca! Sounds like a deal to me. 1 Link to comment

AJK Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah, being in SoCal I have a lot to choose from. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this versus putting another 15-20k into the Jeep. I feel the RB checks off more options for me. 1 Link to comment
Weebz Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Agree. 15-20 more still leaves you with a full body rig that I don’t think any of us are willing to destroy. 1 1 Link to comment
