Well new rig...so i got a buggy

[offroadman83]

Many thanks to Jeff for this. Its a new realm for me and my first buggy. Ive come to the conclusion that lightweight buggies are just cool and well i now have this. Ive got a lot to learn on this thing.

So we replaced hydro steer lines in bad shape and a brake line. Bled the hell out of brakes but seems they have no power like manual brakes. Maybe booster is bad? Seems boosters are stupid hard to find for a sami....

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

did it have a booster on it?

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

@Monstercrawler might have some insight

Check the vacuum line to make sure there are no leaks. That's an odd part to fail but it is possible. I'll dig around and see what I can find in my parts stash.

Guess its time to update a little. Wheeled the rig about 3 or 4 times... nothing hard just testing and learning to drive it. Its working amazing i might add. Anyways brakes suck so i am converting rear to disk brakes and I scored another stock brake booster as mine is toast. See if brakes get better. I bought a new stereo i need to install and got a few other minor things but she is about ready for something a little more challenging. I also just scored a spare whole 44 front axle and a Chevy dana 60 kingpin housing mostly for under 200....yeah buddy. Honestly though its just gonna wait to be built and only put in if i start breaking front dana 44 stuff. Anyways here are some pics..
