My Daughters Rock Crawler

[abfservices]

I am new here, and I just want to share with you guys, the project I have started. It will be finished hopefully in time for my daughters birthday in may.

I am completely gutting the Jeep and using just the Body. The frame will be completely custom with IRS suspension and Coilover shocks. I will let you in on the motor size and details later.

Good luck if your just starting and want it done by may
thats a lot of work yet alone cash , hope you have a lot of extra hands because its going to be hard to do by your self
I started in 04 and still not quite finished now in 11 almost 95% but keep finding little things :shades:

I know your daughter will love it weather you finish it on time or not .,

throw a blade under that thing and have her mow the grass while she drives it around.

Wow you threw a curve at us, I LOVE IT!!
I was under the impression it was a full size ,
A friend of mine in NY built his son a power wheels bigfoot using a 5hp motor and running gear from a old john deer lawn mower
I know your little girl will love it you definitely need to post the finished product
wish my little girl was still 3 she's now a young lady going on 17 come may .
Time flies so enjoy it they grow way to fast :driving-g

HAHA, Yeah I was trying to throw a curve ball. I know it will be a ton of fun to build, and Even more fun watching her crawl around the mud, rocks, and creeks with it. I will post pictures as a continue to work on it. I will be using Steering u-joints for the rear axles, so that it can Have IRS

HAHA..Ya you got me.

I have been contemplating using D50 TTB in the front and rear of a buggy for 4 steer IFS/IRS, it can be done, and can be very strong depending on how you attempt it.

Couple Ultra 4 buggies and KOH competitors run TTB axles with good success.
