Family SxS 4wd Buggy

[daaboots]

This should be the last of the mill/lathe work for a while now. Next up will be the cage and everything that goes along with that.

These adapters go from the Polaris 4x156 to a 5x4.5 bolt pattern.

Is that shattered piece a parting tool?

Yeah, it was a part-off tool

Every time I check in on this thread I end up also spending 15mins checking out used lathes on kijiji, lol

Do it man... you'll wonder how you ever lived without one!

It's starting to look like something I could drive! The base of the frame is all tacked up, gas tank and seat mounts are done, working on the pedals right now. I found a place in Toronto that can harden my axle shafts so I'll get those sent out soon. Found a company called Motion Pro that does extended cable for my clutch pedal.











It's getting there!

Pedals pretty much done. Working on the placement for the steering wheel.

For a guy looking at U4 IFS setups online, those are some seriously tiny diff's. Looks good, and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Next video is up. It's finally starting to look like a SxS!

I have a frame!

 

[daaboots]

Roll cage is mostly done. I'm in the home stretch now!

 

[daaboots]

Adding more bits to the frame. Really pushing hard to have this done by July 30th!

Must be rewarding to see your project take shape and the end is nearing.

 

[daaboots]

Getting so close! Added light bar, shock mounts, more frame tubes, lengthened the tie rods, roughed in the coolant lines, and lengthened the 4wd prop shaft.

 

[daaboots]

Next video is up. I just might have this machine done by July 30th after all!

 

[daaboots]

I've been so busy I'm just getting caught up on my videos now. Enjoy the next one!

Time for a big photo dump!









































If all goes well it should be going out for powder coating next week!

Looks great. I'd like to try my hand at header building some day. How will the exhaust be hung to account for engine twist? Seems like a lot of leverage right now.
