Originally it was a 3.5k tow dolly I stretched to fit a rear engine XRRA buggy. The frame is 1"x1" x1/8 square tubing with 7/8" crusher shafting inside where it counts, 4"x4"x1/2" square tubing for main runner. Weigh's close to 850lbs. Has a tad bit of tongue weight when loaded but it has to follow.. I've used it pretty hard for 12 years and it's still hanging in there.

Buggy weights, what ya'll got?
- Thread starter No way
- Start date
I remember that day! It's still common practice to give rides for the youngsters, friends and family. Buggy still going strong; over built and under powered, hence it's longevity.Holy crap I remember riding in that thing with you and Ylee up at the ranch a looooong time ago. I was just a little towhead ass kid at the time. Small worldI forget how that whole thing came about but I remember my cousins Sean and Joe Don were showing me and their kids all the buggies and I got lucky enough to ride in yours for awhile

Where the axle on the trailer is positioned, it is pretty much just seeing the weight that the rear axle of the buggy sees which he said was only 1,630 Lbs. He says the trailer itself weighs 850 Lbs., so that is only about 2,100 Lbs. on the trailer axle.
I remember my dad commenting on the ride home that he thought your setup in particular was killer with the Turnkey 4 banger, after listening to one of your friends say he used to have a 550hp 383, then took it out for reliability, he thought you really hit it on the head with a cheap 4 cylinder.
One of these days, I plan to take my yota up there to wheel it around with Sean, but I have a few things I want to do for safety before then
Such a cool area.

Just running the stock m4.3 for now with a cut down harness.. Very happy with it so far!
I love that you still have the hood. Still think about that video of the samurai’s you guys made back in the day. 😎
