Got the floor mocked up last night.

I got all of the little mounting tabs for the floorboards tacked in (minus 4 that I can't get to until I pull the motor back out). Also got the dash installed as well. Brake pedal/master cylinder, gas pedal, and orbital steering valve installed. Transfer case shifter installed too.

Lookin good!
Haven't had much time to work on it lately. I started to get the wheels mounted in the tires last night. I'm embarrased to admit, but those things totally kicked my butt!! 4 hours and only got 2 mounted!! They are Stazworks 16.5x12 double bead locks. I had them custom made to match the wheels on my truck.
43" vs 37"

Man you worked on that for 4 hours after i left. Those beadlocks look good. Let me know if u need any help.
Well, after taking almost 2 months off of working on my buggy to spend some time with my family, I got back on it a few weeks ago.
I got the front axle truss installed and welded out. Then mounted it to the chassis. I have temporary "shocks" (1" pipe) in place for now.

Then I got the front hubs put together, and finally assembled all 4 wheels and.......Ladies and Gentleman.....we have a ROLLER!!

Awesome thread and clean rig. Appreciate you taking the time to post up the pictures and do the write up.
With a baby on the way, and building a new house, I haven't spent much time on the buggy lately. But I did manage to get some stuff done on it this weekend.
I got the new lower side bars and skins installed. Also got the steering column in place.

After 3 months of not working on the buggy, I'm starting to get back into it. I sold my Scrambler so that will motivate me to finish the buggy since I don't have anything to wheel right now!.....
Here's a run down of what I've done in the last 2 weeks....
I've installed.....
Bump Stops
Upper seat belt mounts
Fuel Tank
Sway bars
Radiator
Steering Cooler
Winch and fairlead
Front Bumper
I did some testing of the suspension from full bump to full droop.....no interference issues.....I got plenty of room...
The switch panel was made by 12 Volt Unlimited.
