Boomtacoma's Buggy Build

[Boomtacoma01]

The Red truck has served it purpose, time for an upgrade on visibility and capability and try not to go broke in the process.
Starting with a Wende XL Chassis out of Arizona. Put a deposit down last week.
LetzRoll is going to build the axles (both diffs will be offset to the driver side) and I will pick the chassis up as a roller from Adam.

Chassis: Wende XL 115" Wheelbase
Drivetrain: 3RZ, A340, Atlas II 5.0, maybe boost it.
Axles: LetzRoll Offroad Steering 9s at 9" WMS Super Duty outers, Ball Joint Deletes, Branik Shafts, (Potentially) Gearworks 10" thirds $$$, PSC 3"x9" Steering Rams, Radial Dynamics Steering pump, resi and rear steer goodies, ADS short body 2.5" Air Shocks 14" and 16"
Wheels: BFG 42s on Raceline Avenger 20s
Other: PRP seats, Winch, Switch Pros panel, Baja Designs Lights, Cooler, Fuel Cell, Second Gen Toy skins

Just picking up the ancillary, lower cost items as I go and working on the 3rz/Trans while splitting my time with the Red truck #1 and Red truck #2.

The axles were dropped off at the builders place last week. Hoping to be heeded that way in mid December to pick it up.

Bought some PRP low back seats, a GW HP 10" 3rd, Branik 1550 U joints and a bunch of other expensive shit over the past few weeks.

10" thirds F&R?

 

[Boomtacoma01]

I may do a Hi 9 in the front. The 10" HP rear is a thing of beauty but $$

I got some work done over the past week. Started on engine placement and motor mounts. They sill need to be braced/boxed and cleaned up a little.

Mocked up the 93 lb GW10 in the front axle to check for clearance issues. None found thank god. Its a beast to move by yourself.

Added the fill plugs to both axles.

Tacked in the winch mount.

I ordered a 24x15.5 Griffin Radiator, Jaz fuel cell, and some plumbing parts for the Radial Dynamics steering components which should be in over the next few days.
