Good eye! That was the first time to swap tanks on the buggy and I had a heck of a time doing it wasent in the best place to be swaping tanks. The tanks that came with the buggy are the steel forklift tanks and are a big differance on weight compared to the alum. 10 gallon tanks I use on my toyota truck. I plan to let the steel ones go with the truck and keep the bigger alum. for the buggy if they will fit. I havent tried it yet.

Heres the list the seller give to me.

Something he forgot to tell me is that it has the worse oil leak ive ever seen. Looks like its leaking somewhere around the timing cover I plan to fix it this week

.

i beleive this to be same said rig and its no stranger to gravity

staged shot or flat ground roll?

heres the moment right before gravity took over. thats the empty foundation at the badlands

so he tried to roll it... no way he thought he was somehow gonna climb it...

i didnt say he was the sharpest crayon in the box

I would have never tried that. :D

So you did that too?:rolleyes:

No, Sally just takes his rigs "swimming."

:eek: :evilgrin:



Nice looking rig.

No, Sally just takes his rigs "swimming."





i remember swimming one year at windrock there brad. people who live in glass houses....

uh oh does brad have a story he would like to tell :eek:

2 days after pickup.
Pulled motor to replace throw out bearing and found out that the inputshaft had about a1 inch of front to back play and 1/2 inch up and down play so I replaced it with another w56 and I have a centerforce clutch and pressure plate for it.. For the oil leak the timing chain cover is cracked ( the bolt that goes through the valve cover was tightened to much and cracked the cover so Iam replacing that and puting a new head gasket on while its apart. Was going to put a cam in it but looks to have a new aftermarket cam in it of some kind.

good looking buggy, but damn, a 10 bolt and 42's? those axles have to already be living on borrowed times.

I drug a trans and T-case to zooki melt because the previous owners buddy said this buggy needed them. But once I got there they told me he had bought a complete truck and didn't need mine anymore:mad: sounds like he needed them after all...


It is a nice rig though :beers:

He told me that it was just a throw out bearing making the noise.
O well ill have i lined out in a week or so
I plan on putting new skins on it to.Ill take some pics as I go and post them.
Question?
I bought this off ebay and asked seller about any knowed problems and he said nothing about the oil leak that leaks about that size of the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket in 2 min. of running.
What kind of feedback should I leave???
Ive been holding off on doing this not sure on to say anything about it?

Ask him about the leak once more and see what he says. I would go negative it sounds like on the feedback unless he is willing to work something out. .02 cents worth right there!

Maybe the known problems should have included that the driveline was f'ed

Negative feedback doesn't mean **** to most people. If you want to do something about it, make him pay for the repairs to it. Or if you payed thru paypal, file a grievance with them for partial money back. Or tell him you are going to file a grievance if he doesn't cover the cost of the cover and materials, etc.

you bought at the risk of not looking at it beforehand.
and you picked it up at some point, am sure you gave it a once over
the five gallon oil leak might have been noticable?
fix it and move on with your life
My vote is you leave no feedback,
