Believe it or not the machine was 90% complete.! Frame was good and straight. Skid plate did not have one dent in it. that 90% was mostly frozen and rusted solid but it was all there. id say 35% useable /rebuildable parts including motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? ))/trans and most of the metal body parts...THIS thing must have been used a few times and something stupid happened to it and someone left it for dead! gave it away and some idiot rattle canned it !

looks really nice, good job. You can reduce the width a little by going with stock trx wheels. All you need is jim 327 Engine to match. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. You related to Mudbogger by chance.

rebuilt transmission installed. i blasted and painted the cases apart. all new seals and gasket. came out ok, blasted and painted axles gunmetal to match the hubs and PILOT steering wheel chassis. pressed in new u joints and came out flawless. will always look good since they wont get rusty like oem uncoated axles

Project looks great.

I need to do this upgrade to my '85 fl-350.

Can you list the manufacturer.

Thanks.

I just saw this today and it's way nicer looking in person. The pics don't do it justice. The powder coat is a real cool metallic.
