Yes you :D This is getting confusing.

Short circuit, look at the pic of your shock. The rear is more like what you want. Build you 2 perimid brackets. Drill 4-5 holes in it starting at stock and working their way up and out till your out close to the bumper length. Do the rev on the bottom. Then if you need to adjust for diff riding, no matter what shock you use, it will be easy

Ok, thanks. Not quite an inch shorter. These are 13 11/16" bottom with the top a 1/4" shorter. Use the same jig, just drop a 1/4" spacer in one end.


Did that answer it or do you need/want more info? :D

I be using 1 1/8", .120 tubing for the arms. At least the rear arms and the main spar (for sure maybe all the spars) on the front arms. Only because I have that material on hand from previous projects.

You were just saying they were short so I was wondering. For a sec I thought you built trailing arms. I was like 13in trailing arms :shock:

No, this design has double wishbones front and rear.
I could understand where that would make you think. :wink:

Thank you for the suggestions about the front shocks.
I will try that this week and see what happens.

I got some more work done on the buggy this week.
The motor mount and adjusters are in place and the shifter linkage is roughly fabbed up.
Disregard the bar that is going up to the shifter. I didn't have anything long enough and I wanted to try it so I just welded 2 pieces together 8-[

Thanks guys, that idea for the shift linkage woke me up in the middle of the night.
I finally got some front tires for the buggy.
I traded the rear end out of the 3 wheeler for them.
22 - 11 - 8 knobbies.

That buggy design is really starting to appeal to me. Nice job Mark I like it. One question is it the seat or is the steering wheel high as it looks. My Joyner has a high dash, steering wheel, and hood, I sit on a pillow :lol: .
