Do they ship to Cali? Pretty sure there is a ban in this communist state.

 

^^haha that's the truth. I ordered a new shock collar for my bird dog a little while back and they couldn't ship it here because it didn't meet the new "California rechargeable appliance regulations"

 

I have an address out of state if needed to fwd to here...

I already have it in possession thanks tho

 

Any of y'all know anything about dune buggys?
Dad's looking at getting one, he wants a "old school" VW, under $3k
I want to get one to make street legal in MISS., but i want a buggy with A-arms, and a subie engine.

How hard would it be to put A-arms on the buggy?

 

not very hard, but it makes it more expensive. with a arms you're going to need coilovers.

 

Going to need a pile of parts. Our buggy use to brake all the time, but we sure had fun.
Consider a baja bug with independent rear suspension? Will be easy or already street legal.

 

I didn't think it'd be to complicated.
Yeah, but the tunability jumps up, and i understand A-arm suspension a lot better then beams.

Must not've been built right
Not really, i don't like the way they look and not really a fan of them as cars or buggys.
I'm modding this buggy to be a decent "car" for me to take to school (i imagine it gets better MPG than my truck), and still be able to take it down a rough (dirt) road fairly quickly and comfortably (all below or at the speed limit of course )

Here's a pic of my cousins, cousins buggy

 

you could look into a manx

heres the one i used to own.

sold it to get the down payment on my drz

If you had problems removing your shock, I would think building a buggy might be complicated.

 

I like the manx's, but i think i'm gonna get dad's buggy (that he doesn't have) when we move, which he'll be getting a tube buggy.

I do gotta figure a way to fix fenders on the buggy and still allow good wheel travel, i was talking a friend (who built this buggy) and he said that i could make mounts on the upper A-arm to mount some fenders to.

 

it was the the one shock, i didn't really want to cut it off, that's just what i ended up doing.

 

-_-

 

you also have to remember that a buggy is VERY light compared to a truck. You don't need 48" of suspension travel.

 

Yes Ma'am?

Yeah, i'm thinking 9-12'', should be plenty for anything i can do back east/south.

 

im soo dead tired and should be asleep yet i cant sleep haha

 

Have your GF smack you on the head with a lug wrench?

 

If you want a A-arm buggy, start with one instead. $3k is plenty for a nice old school style two seater but when you get into A-arm buggies price goes up quick.

 

Jake I don't understand why you don't just use the truck instead.
