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

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

On XJ 2 Now

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.
