CJ buggy build

[klungly]

Been getting the buggy's new winch rebuilt. New brakes and seals, going to need the ratchet pawl rebuilt and a new control box.

Machined a new bushing for the drum support, got a new motor, controller box and ratcheting pawl assembly. Got it mounted to the buggy.

That looks right at home on there!

I'm really happy with how everything came out

Got back to work on getting the buggy out of my garage. Been busy with other projects. Made some frame mounts for the front bump stops and a pad to go on the truss.

Finished bump stop and truss pad on the driver side and half done with the passenger side.

Been busy getting some new machines put in the shop. A 1D Cincinnati toolmaster and 15" leblond regal. Got back to work on the buggy. Got the exhaust in, it needs mufflers. Got the bump stops and limit straps put in in the rear.

Finally got the buggy out of the garage, it had leaked from the tranny dipstick and cooler lines. I put in o rings in the cooler line case fittings and that fixes it. The dipstick needed a new grommet. Street tested it the next day. The belt for the water pump broke resulting I. It over heating. Picked up some 5 point harnesses. I'll test drive it again once the harnesses are installed and I put on a muffler.

Got some work done. Decided it needed a muffler so I don't go deaf. Found a muffler I liked and a y pipe to equalize the pressure between the heads. I had to go with a single due to the space I had to work with.

That’ll make the ride a bit more enjoyable.

I was finally able to take the buggy out for a test run on the trail. It was overheating due to a bad belt. I found some other issues to fix, mostly minor. Replaced the belt.
