Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

Depends where you are. Not much survives the Utah blaring sun too long.

Ferro Concepts makes an intriguing one, but at 3x the cost of a trasharoo, theres a degree of expendability that I have a hard time ignoring.

 

yeah for only like $40 bucks it's not too bad to buy one every year. Just annoying once you have it set up for your needs to have to switch it every year lol.

 

Just think of it as overland tax lol

 

you could try regular aerospace 303 treatment on it

 

I did on this one and it still lasted about 1 year lol

 

Oh, well that sucks. Like you said at least they’re cheap.

 

Have you ever mounted bikes to your swingout before? I figured I’d ask, since you are the king of utilizing that space

I’ve been looking at carriers designed to fit on the spare’s mount, but with the offset tire the bike might stick out too far past the side of the truck.

 

@Chux is lol

I did on my mobtown Swingout

 

How did you mount it to the swing-out?

 

As a follow-up to my last post, the Thule Spare Me can be adjusted left or right for offset spares. The Yakima option (although better rated) can’t.

Went to Mass and Vt last week to hit some trails and camp. Wheeling was epic tho cut short seeing one of two trails planned due to left late and getting through sections of trail were difficult. Heading to camp in Vt and went to spend time at a known spot to chill and fish with my dog but the sites were closed due to Rona... We found a primitive spot nearby and made camp for the night. Next morning we left camp and found more of a variety of free camp sites and logged the locations. All in all good trip getting out of Jersey.

 

That's a good lookin pooch! He has the backseat lounge perfected! My dog Draco tends to be more of a backseat driver.

 

Haha great pic! You ever hear owners start to resemble their pets..

Ziggy will be up on the arm rest looking out the windshield when we get more on residential roads stopping and going. Long hauls he crashes on the back seat. He’ll pass out in the back, stop for fuel and he perks up out the back window, armrest, other back window, after fueling and hit the open road he passes back out hah

 

Spent the day in the boosh and walked to our local bay beach firework show at night..

God bless this fucked up country. Happy 4th

 

The only constant is change.
Switching up the truck and dumping everything onto a trailer..

 

Funny because I was heading to the same area at the same time. I was already in the ADK and decided I didn't feel like the extra 1.5 hrs of driving so I stayed where I was.

 

Damn, that looks really light weight

 

That trip was in June. I was in Pa when you went to ADK last week..

 

Truck looks good man! Just jumped to Cooper ST Maxx’s. You still running the 255’s?
