Anti-rock bars are probably a possibility in the future, at least on one end. I'm going to try some things first to get it to stable out on sidehills. It seems to side hill ok, but I know it could be better. Gotta remember, I'm not competing in this rig just driving hard (well, not too hard) on the trails.

I like the air shocks a lot, but I have never driven a rig wil coilovers so I can't compare.

And the tires rock. I'll have'm until they wear all the way down. :cool:

The front won't look like that for very long. I just threw those on there so I could do a night trail in Moab.

hey did you ever get a hood on that buggy of yours?? Final Pic's ?

Still no hood. I'm thinking about some kind of fiber glass deal though. Not sure.

Here is the most recent picture I have. From Moab about 3 weeks ago.

I did it before it went under the cherokee. It wasn't until it was going under the buggy I rebuilt the truss and decided to sleeve it better. :busted:

Do you have any pictures of BEHIND the skins ~ i.e. how they are attached?
Click to expand...

Sorry, no pics...
The skins are attached by small tabs welded to the chassis and .25" x 1" bolts. I had a friend cut out the tabs (nearly 100 of them) on a cnc plasma table. They work great.
