Buggy is awesome.  needs a little tweaking, but good first run with no issues.

new trans swaped, it really rips now.  i seem to have a power steering pump issue, and a fuel delivery issue at sustained high rpm\'s under load. (4500 rpm banging gears flat out desert race style)   might just be i forget to fill propane tanks.

I still have sketchy leaf spring hangers (for a little while). So we should still carry one LOL.

havent had much updates on the buggy.  its been to rausch twice and a few times local.

Made it up jotters and both sides of trail 5 hill climb.  we also did crawl daddy at a pretty good pace.

got some motor noise, a dented rear driveshaft, a blown johnny joint, and now an over heating issue.  


5.38\"s, chomo shafts, drive flanges, stage 8 lock nut kits ordered today.
