Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

So after you massaged the pinch weld you just hit it with some sealant and then painted over everything? Seams legit..... see what i did there? lol (sorry bad dad jokes)

 

you planning on doing anything in the rear?

 

Lol yupp

I actually beat the fuck out of the pinch weld, I massaged the CMC with a flap wheel to get any little bit of clearance I could get out of it. Than finger painted the sealant in all the gaps and hit it with the rattle can to make everything fresh and clean clean.

No plans on rear trim, everything looks good there.

Time will tell though.


Next project:

 

Is this another set of 285/75r17? [/QUOTE]

yeah those are his old 255/80/17. Hahaha old

 

What's your front hub to fender measurement before you cut

 

Youll rub the front of the flare in the rear; just enough to remove some paint; nothing worth cutting.looks great dude!

 

Virginia bound.

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Stop by Chincoteague if you have time. Would love to see that beast up close!

 

Seeing family in Virginia Beach area then heading west to the mountains

 

I'll look it up.

 

We're 1.5-2 hours north of VA Beach. 10 miles east, off of rt.13.

If you're hungry, I'll fix ya up.

 

Dude your hospitality is awesome. Didn't realize I just rolled by town after seeing your post. Trying to make time after crawling through a thunderstorm in Delaware. Sorry man.. Next time I come down this way I'll for sure stop in.

 

Ya'll would enjoy it. There are several miles of uninhabited beaches if you need to get off the pavement.

 

@Chux safe travels . What app are you using on iPad? Does it use data. My iPad does not have data plan but might want to try to adapt it for travel in future. Love that buggy!

 

I'll try to find links tonight but this iPad doesn't have data plan, the adapter I have for gps service is called "Bad Elf", it conflicts the phone gps and usually has a longer eta but I run them both for trips and follow the phone for the most part on road. The iPad works great off road when I lose cell service in the mountains. The app is called "maps.me". You predownload the maps before your trip. There's a Tacomaworld thread for the combo somewhere..

 

My GPS setup

 

Not really needed from NJ to VAbeach. Pretty much a straight shot. Nothing but farmland. Unless you're like me, and like to deviate from the highway..
