This thing is a beast

Hopefully he will sign on over here... I got some pics of this thing on Saturday, but broke my camera when I dumped my Jeep, playing on the ramp... the first couple of pics in this link are of a 52" tired, 2.5 Rockwell axled, D-MAX powered off road buggy with I think he said a 450hp tune ("for now", to quote him), custom built one-off tranny (began life as an Allison 1000), custom machined tail housing/ t-case adapter, Atlas II transfer case, Oh my....

Yup... notice, no radiator in the front... it's behind the rear seat.

No need for a rear view mirror... there's 5 little cameras mounted all over this thing, he can display up to 4 at a time on the monitor on the dash.

yupp its the new trend :lol:


in all seriousness, it is....

with the rock crawler crowd... enables you to lower the hood for better visiblity, moves the fragile rad. to the rear of the passenger compartment (if you built it right) strongest part of the roll cage.

I gave him the web address, so hopefully he will sign in and explain his creation better than I can.

I know he said he was running EFI live on the motor, and had a 450 tune in it... but there are SO MANY subtle little details, there's no way I could take them all in.

He's local here in Tucson.







**Come on Roger... sign up and tell the guys what you built...**
