Did you use a premade lower chassis kit or make it yourself?

The plate steel stuff is a kit made by Jonathan Sheppard at skinny pedal fab. He’s from North Carolina I believe. We have done everything else.

I thought it looked like SPF kit 👍

It’s pretty slick setup. I don’t think we’d build another without. Takes alot of thinking and measuring out of the equation to get all that important stuff mounted right

This thing is NASTY! We wanna keep it so bad. So this weekend made more progress. I’m guessing around 90% ready to send to powder.

Wegot the seats mounted as a starting point. Ditched the oem style bases and made the seats bolt in. Then went to pedals. Fairly easy task.

Then mounted carrier bearing and built driveshaft tunnel. Then the dash bars. The interior lines flow with the hood and look badass sitting in it. Plenty of room for oem speedo cluster on top then tablet below then plenty of room for 10 switches and power plug.

Then on to the steering…always a headache. First…this buggy has the shock therapy race rack going into it. Come to find out we have to plasma cut the spf kit in two places to get it to fit in there. One spot inside the box to clear a corner of the rack. Then the other was to clearance the box away so the steering shaft has room to clear the yoke bolt and nut when turning. Not a big deal but this kit is used in almost every race rzr bouncer out there so it kinda surprised me it didn’t fit as is.Version 1 of @Dirt-Monger hydro steer fit inside this box but the new larger volume ram I don’t think will fit in there. Time will tell as it is on the way to our place to throw in sprinkles. We’ll test fit it in there to see for sure.

Them always fun to wrestle the eps box to find a spot where it’ll fit and not put the steering shaft ujoints in a bind. This compared to a full body-the steering wheel is lower mounted in this so makes it interesting to find a path that the joints don’t bind and clear the pedal bracket. Finished up with the steering wheel mounted. Have to lengthen the steering wheel shaft then it’s all connected.

Steering wheel pedals and seats are basically just tacked in place waiting on final approval from the owner to make sure everything fits him just right.

I absolutely love the feeling you get sitting in this thing. The way the dash comes up into the nose just sets it off. It’s wider than a full body too. Amber sitting in the passenger seat would have to unstrap her harnesses to elbow me orgive Me a what for🤣 the door bars are high enough at the seat to be high doors but the drop as it goes forward really let’s you see the front wheel really good.
Mounting the radiator is gonna be the last “major” thing left to do. Just some other misc mounts and a bed area for a cooler and hopefully enough room for a toolbox and some random brace bars here and there. Then body and dash panels and it should be gtg.

Custom builds are sweet. Yours is gonna be badass!!

You take "Branding" way to serious...😂

Radiator mounted in behind the seats. Got a shelf above the transmission for a cooler or toolbox. Something most builders don’t make room for. Also have room on both sides of the radiator to make a storage area big enough for smaller tool boxes or storage. An ammo can or something similar shaped but room to be bigger will fit great in there. Threw a v bar in there for some radiator protection and some looks. Rear is 99% done

Yeah the radiator will blow on the cooler a bit but hey…#buggylife lol

I am soooo green with envy! Amazing work. Wow!!

All the best, James

Not much to show…just working on the knock out list. Winch mount gussests tabs and such. Going to have a custom mounting plate cut out for the moroso split tank reservoir. Once we get that cut this week I’m thinking next weekend it’ll be ready for powdercoat.

And of course Sprinkles isn’t happy about how good the buggy looks and that it’s been getting all our attention lol.

Is there a completed photo of this buggy?

Not yet lol. Customer took it to his powdercoater and life took some wrong turns I think and it’s not came back to get put together yet. Still have the donor and a bunch of new parts here to go on it. Just waiting for things to get straightened up where they can get it back here and finish it up.

doing a stretch right now on a two seater then have a buggy to build using the new l&w lower kit to see how that goes. This one will be turn key and no hiccups though lol.

Ok. Thank you. Look forward to seeing some pics of this one using the L&W kit.
