been on the lookout for about 10 months and just waited til a decent one appeared for cheap.......4 seater was my main criteria.
It was about 1/13th of a new stock Rhinoserous albeit I need a motor and a couple other do-dads.....so by then I figure it'll cost maybe 2 or 3/13ths

I even got two trany's with it

If you mean A-arms vs. the straight axle swing arms it has the later?

Mine have all been IRS. If you are going to do some heavy off roading , or jumping, You'll want to look into boxing the control arms.

Mainly just to cruise around the dunes happily. Don't care if the other guy is faster.........and I doubt the wife will really want to do any jumping.....:D

I had one like that back in the day, was a cool ride the only bad thing is the long wheelbase, it's a pisser when you get hung up on a peak, the women don't like to get out while the guys get it unstuck, then they bitch like hell when they have to run downhill to catch up to it!.. :laugh

I ended up cutting it down to a two seater shortie, was a lot more fun and I didn't have to listen to the whining any more!.. :laugh

I also ran 2 from that cross bar down to the base of each strut tower. Basicly a "K" bar.
