Johnny's Goatbuilt JHF buggy build

[chaplinfj60]

I'm in commiefornia, so we don't see many broken frames unless its been in an accident. Not much rust here. Out here when you search for a tahoe, suburban, yukon, whatever, you wind up with a bunch of parting out ads where the seller has already pulled the motor and trans out to use in another project and just wants the rest of it gone. Or its a tweaker vehicle, or scam. There are vehicles and deals, but none that have really peaked my interest for the $$$ and distances involved. Vans seem to have the highest ad prices oddly.

i get it. painfull for sort through all the scams for sure

Thats some good info. I was planning on doing the same for the next build and hoping it lasts for at least a little bit. How much steering angle are you using with this setup?

Also, good info on the gearing selection. I've been looking for a 5.3 4l60 combo and haven't had much luck.

Truthfully never measured. To get it running I kept factory stops and figured I’d go back, but in 3 years I haven’t felt the need. I have JHF weld on arms and use about 9” of ram travel.

I generally out turn my friends who run KP60s.
