Very nice. I am a little over 6'2" and I had trouble driving and shifting the one we had at the lease. Not really made for big people, but good little buggies. Nice job.

You did one hell of a job on her, looks good! I couldn't help but pick up this one up the other day, she runs and drives, now for the lift, new shoes and liner all the way around. Let the fun begin!

Those are some awesome buggies. Now I want one.

They look like if you stop to fast they will roll onto their front though. LOL

What light bar and pods are you running?

Some el cheapo's I got off of Amazon. They didn't come with a relay, so I ordered some relays separately and hooked them up. So far they've worked great and put out more than enough light.

They are KEENAXIS brand. I paid $89 for all of them.

Heck yeah! That's a good start. Have fun and post up some pics of your progress

Haha I'm sure you could with enough speed. I've seen some guys mount a TJ bumper with stinger on the front of them

It’s fun going down creek banks! Looks like your about to crash land looking out windshield..... then 4” before impact the nose comes up! Lol

How difficult would a spring over axle conversion be for the back? Those looong shackles always worry me, and the overload spring hanging down so low.

Really nice rig!

Shouldn't be too hard but haven't really looked into it. Depending on the amount of lift, you may have to lower the trans/t-case to correct the driveline angle.

The front you're somewhat limited with the stock CV's on the amount of lift. If you lift it too much, the CV's will bind.

If the springs would allow for it, you would just shorten the shackles for the same amount of lift you have now. Which would strengthen the shackle, and get the spring up away from the ground, but not change the driveline angle from where it is now.

Just thinkin out loud.

True. I may look into it after season is over and I bring it back home. Other than welding a new perch and shortening the spring, there isn't much too it.

What would be really nice is a 4 link rear with a solid axle front swap

I ran a feed route daily for several years in one with right at 1 Ton in the bed @ highway speeds with the shackle lift and never a problem.

Front end with a 2.5” it absolute maxed out in cv axles. It would take lots of fabricating and custom building to get any better than the hats available.

It will ride 20x better with about 200# in the bed anyway, lol

That thing looks fun
