Post subject:  Re: diamonddav buggy life and upgrades

Its been a few days how about an update...how do you like that extra bar you added since you put the padding on it? When i did mine i followed the contour of the bottom bar and it was to tight, had to cut it back out and make it wider...there was no elbow room

Post subject:  Re: diamonddav buggy life and upgrades
rick i love that extra bar, makes it feel safer too! i've had it all back together and apart several times now, between tryin to get the torsion adjusted right, which sucks ass! and stripped out studs in the rotors pissin me off, and one rotor got a little warp to it,so i figure i've spent so much allready ,off to drews i go this afternoon for two new rotors.got a little touch up paint to do now also from all the beating and bangin of getting it assembled. i'm confused between show buggy and woodsbuggy :lol: now my motor and tranny arent centered up very well, i hate the undercarriage, and my tranny mount that bolts to the frame horns is all jacked up, so replacing that and gonna build a new undercarriage.... got the diamond plate for the roof and hopefully my lights will be in today so i can mount them and my speakers. gonna bust ass on it this weekend so i'll have plenty more pics to put up.thinking about starting a cable show called "FLIP THIS BUGGY" :lol: oh yeh and i missed wellsville which sucks but i will not miss dirt days at haspin :evil:

yeh i know rick had that happen before, this was the studs that messed up, so new rotors are on it now, so problem fixed. lights and speakers are mounted , diamond plate roof is on. got to adjust my torsion again :evil: now that i have a angle finder instead of guessing at it! remount the shocks, and figure out some sort of limit strap set up :roll: its comin along , and has came a loooooonnnngggggggg way from what it was! totally different buggy. i got a shit load of pics to put up when i can find time to mess with stupid photobucket.
