Biggin's Sammy-ish Build

biggin69 · 12-02-2009, 08:34 PM

Here are a few pics of my build. I am taking everything (drivetrain) out of my Sammy and putting it all in the new chassis I picked up. Some pics are cell phone pics and are not the greatest. I will keep it updated as I go.

Specs: Dana 44's front and rear, 5.13 gears, 1.6l 8v, stock Sammy trans., Sammy transer case w/ 4:1 gears, 4 link rear, YJ's front, full hydro steering, all sitting on 36" tires.

Looks as tho you weren't to far off from a buggy to start with, what do you hope to gain with this new buggy chassis that you don't currently have?

The old tubing was actually pipe which I did not like. I did not feel that it was safe. I do not have the capabilities to build a buggy from scratch. Safety is my main concern plus I enjoy working on this thing as much as I enjoy driving it.

Got the motor in the new chassis this weekend. I had to order a new rear seal for the tranny so it and the t-case will go in this week.

Did you get that chassis from a guy in richmond ky? It looks just like one that was for sale on craigslist over there. If it is the same guy, I have bought a few parts off of him in the past.
