Been gone for 40 years, grew up in Starr, lived in Charleston & Columbia, then B'ham, Memphis, Louisville, Mandeville,LA, and Canton, GA. Got moved back to Anderson County in late July. Got my Dana 60 tore down getting ready for OCBR and Windrock and I drug a 74' Explorer here in parts.

Glad your back! Keep us posted on the build.
Buggy looks fun hope to see you at either ocbr or wind rock.
Got anymore info on the buggy?

It's been around a good while, Mark Rau & Thomas Kinser built it, back when they both worked at Duff's. 69' frame, 5.0 stang motor, 435, 4.3 Atlas, Dana 60/Corp 14 bolt 5:13 gears, 40" Maxxis. Real simple build.
I've had it a couple years, still learning it. This is what it looked like when Mark had it, it was green, I changed it up a little.
Awesome. Mine is similar but uses a fullwidth tub with narrowed grill tail. Reworking the front end some now.
Good looking rig, sounds like it is geared deep. I have 435, 205, with 5.38s and it seems deep.

Hey thanks, yeah it's deep, first couple of times out I was running in 1st & 2nd, 4 wheel hi. Took a friend to Rausch Creek and he taught me about 3rd & 4th low range...DUH!!!! Next trip out I learned about the hand throttle. It's been more fun every time out!!
