My name is Randy My family and I just moved to SLC from Louisiana. I have a truggy that i have been building for the past year and I'm looking forward to calling Utah home for the next few years. Anyone got any recommendations for a good hardcore rock crawling buggy shops in the SLC area?1001670_10152605793322588_800910091_n.jpg994207_10152605796042588_889997_n.jpg

Welcome!

Unlimited fab in Utah county is a sponsor here along with Sexton Offroad.

It's not a bad idea to post up for references after you find a shop but before you take your stuff to them. There are a couple of long time shops that are pretty dishonest.

Enjoy Utah and the forum.

Welcome. Great rig! Have you been to Moab before? Moab and St. George (Sand Hollow) have some amazing trails that will be a blast in that rig.

yeah i actually went to college out here years ago and my wife just got a job offer so we decided why not move back? I just finished my rig. and i have plans to convert it over to a tube chassis rig. Currently i have a th350 with reverse body with shifter and i have a LS engine and atlas in the works. My goal is by the end of the year junk the yota and build a full tube chassis. I arrive in Utah County next week and I think my plans are to hit the forrest lake trail. I heard its a great easy scenic trail thats really more fun than challenging.

There isn't anything up AF canyon that will challenge that beast of yours, but the scenery can't be beat.

Cool Truggy! I love southern style wheelin/riding. What style buggy do you plan to build? It sounds like you wont be using much of your current rig. My intention is to build another lighter smaller buggy. Without tearing apart my current ride its no fun missing out on all the rides during a longer than planned build. Hope to see you at five mile soon.

Thanks! right now im pretty much builtd from the frame down. My main concerns are the old 22re and the 5 spd transmission. I'm counting days down until i can junk those and put in the bigger more reliable th350 and LS engine. my eventual plan is a small low to the ground 4 seater (for the wife and kids) something to trail ride and also go fast in.
