Might as well start a buggy build thread to go along with my TJ build thread. A buddy who is an experienced fabricator had a chassis already designed but required a few changes for my liking. We teamed up and came up with a design that fit not just my plans but also me (6'4" and 210lbs). I sent him all the money and he got started. He was building the chassis, skins, interior, console, dash, fabricating some 9" housing and doing link mounts and aluminum links. While he was doing that, I got started acquiring parts. Below are the plans for the build and some pics...
Chassis - KORE Mfg.
Motor - LS2 built by Folks Machine - Norman, OK (Wiseco forged pistions, Scat Pro-Comp I-beam Rods, TSP Cam, PAC Springs, TSP Pushrods, Morel Lifters, ARP everything, Holley Terminator X, Holley Throttle body and fuel rails, Sanderson Headers)
Transmission - TH400 built by CK Customs - Ennis, TX (Full Manual Reverse Valve Body with Engine Braking, Custom 2500 Torque Converter from Hughes, Short output shaft, Full Racing Red Clutches and Kolene Steels, Kevlar HD Low and Reverse Band, Winters shifter)
Transfer Case - Atlas (4.3:1 ratio, Manual Strifters, 1350 Yokes)
Front Axle - Fabricated 9" (KORE housing, 05+ C's & Knuckles, JHF steering and Caliper Brackets, Branik Brakes and 40 spline Flanges, Gearworks High Pinion 3rd w/ 10" 5.83 gears and 40 spline spool, PSC 3x11 Ram [limited to 10" stroke] and Nick Barna Ball Joint Eliminators)
Rear Axle - Fabricated 9" (KORE housing, 05+ C's & Knuckles, JHF steering and Caliper Brackets, Branik Brakes and 40 spline Flanges, Gearworks High Pinion 3rd w/ 10" 5.83 gears and 40 spline spool, PSC 3x9 Ram and Nick Barna Ball Joint Eliminators)
Suspension - Dual Triangulated 4 link front & rear w/ 16" ORI's, Viking heims [1.25" lowers, 7/8" uppers], aluminum links)
Misc. - 43" SX Stickies, planning to run the new Traction Offroad 17" Aluminum Double beadlocks, Busted Knuckle Wiring kit, full Radial Dynamic steering setup with their CBX unregulated pump and Vortex resi., GOAT built Steering/Alternator brackets, PRP heated seats and steering wheel, Campbell Enterprises narrowed TJ Hood & Grill, and I'm sure there is a lot more.

aught to turn out really nice. Have any more detailed pics of the chassis?
