OH MY!! CRAWL magazine's new buggy (spy pics)

cmoore · 03-06-2010, 02:18 PM

Had a visit from the CRAWL guys just a little bit ago. John and Larry stopped by on their way home from SLC with their new buggy. OH MY GAWD is this thing a beast. Rear v8 powered (John said 425 hp) custom stainless buggy with all the trimmings. They ran through the specs with me, but I was in such awe I've forgotten most of the details. It'll be EJS in a few weeks, I can't wait to see this thing in action.

another spy pic from last night's final assembly.

if any of you guys are heading this way for EJS in a few weeks, make sure you take time to check this monster out.

Best looking buggy I have ever seen hands down. Guages will be hard to read and not street legal but a serious crawler no doubt! Thanks for the spy pics man!

Thats about how mine look, so I'm guessing they are plastic.

carwash · 03-07-2010, 10:57 PM

they would never run plastic lines on that buggy.

Nuts · 03-08-2010, 06:42 AM

Ok then, they're probably braided stainless lines. I didn't think of that before, but it would match the rest of the buggy...

Yeah either he used the wrong fitting for the banjo bolt and it had like a 90 degree built in or something else. Its not like there needs to be that much slack there, just the turning radius of the caliper. I would rather see that slack taken up by a small lightweight spring. Who knows if he cuts the wheel and the slack gets caught in the IROKs.

Plus that thing will probably be pretty loud, with those glass packs.
