Blueberry go byebye?
May have the blueberry (smurf) sold. Got to have an automatic jeep for light wheeling - street use and am entertaining a buggy build. Looking to go either light weight and nimble or heavy and powerful. Maybe a truggy version 3.

I think big heavy with a big HP motor just like your first one is the only way you are going to be happy again :)

The 1st one like 83bronco is talkin about was a ranger with a rail buggy roll cage system adapted to the frame. That brings back some memories!

That one was sold with trailer while I was wheeling at haspin. Fella came up with a wad of green stuff and the ride home was easy on fuel. It was nothing special but was alot of fun! One of the 1st truggies I had ever seen back then.

Then as I proceeded forwards with some momentum a tree limb speared through the buggy and steam erupted everywhere! After hitting it full throttle a couple tries I noticed the green stuff was passing me by down stream (non toxic). This looked important to the reliability of my rig. Made it back to camp and then looked at the hole to see if it was fixable. That motor glowed a pretty red color that night you know. The hole was about the size of a basketball so no go on the egg in the radiator trick. Sold it about 3 months and 3 front axles after that.

don't remember, been so long, just remember the dunebuggy on the frame. i'm pretty sure his name was tim, been about 4 years since i've seen him. he always had something new and ridiculous.

Wow, that's going back in the memory banks... Yes, Tim had a purple dunebuggy body up on top of a truck frame of some sort, blown motor of some kind, rediculously large tires for the 10 bolt front end... (although it was light)...
I can't imagine that came from Pater, but I could be wrong... Walking up with a bunch of green does kinda sound like Timmie.
