Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

Why the new hubs? Just because you were here anyway? Ive got some weird clicking or binding sound in my front end when in reverse and the wheel turned on the driver side.

 

So fresh and so new

 

Thought I was gonna have to hit you up for hubs... But the hubss are good... Gotta find out whats binding in the front end in 2wd in reverse at almost full lock to driver side

 

Mine were hella tight no wobble no wiggle but the one made horrible noises with the weight of the truck on it. There cheap enough just change both and keep the old ones as trail spares

 

Its weird cause it makes no noise except when in the situation I posted

 

So don't do the situation posted. Or figure out what it is and fix it

 

Awesome build man! Keep it up (not that there is a ton left you could do, other than super crazy stuff like a SAS).
Question for you - where is this camping spot?
Thanks!

 

Mount desert campground on mount desert island, Maine. Near Acadia national park and bar harbor, Maine.

Nice updates Chux. Front end work looks good. Water crossing... liked the video.

 

Thanx Dude! I'm cleaning up and improving the mods I have already but next big move is going to be an expo trailer build. Like Josh said that pic is Mount Desert Campground in Maine. Pretty cool place, I actually got the location from Josh who stayed the year before.

 

Thanx! Given wear and tare, some abuse, and having mid range mods to begin with a lot of things need to be addressed to keep the buggy in good shape if not come out even better . Front end done, now I'm working on redoing my cross bars on the cap. The Thule bars were beyond repair so I'm doing something from scratch, along with reverse light brackets and new awning mounts.

In with the new

 

Looking good Jay, I am hoping to do the same this spring. I am even going to replace the Uni balls on my UCAs.

 

Yikes those cross bars are scray!

 

What does that mean?

 

Scary* whoops. Theyre broke as fuck!

 

great lookin build for a local ocean county guy!

 

Jelly of stoked to see pics!

 

@Chux. Love Mt desert campground. Stayed on B loop and C loop. Really like the cleanliness of everything. Also proximity location to all surrounding areas is a plus. I know it might not be true camping by definition. (Roughing it) but it is nice. Hope you had a great time. Really like the build.

 

Hey man curious where you bought your snorkel from and how much it ran you? Also do you still have the smittybilt awning shade thing? If so how has it held up?

 

How are you tires holding up bud? Ive got 30k miles on mine and there is a ton of tread left but two are wearing funny and starting to make quite a bit of noise
