Roger's Cool Things!

[Oswego]

For shits and giggles I half-assed priced one out.

Used 2008 Club Car DS (350cc gas engine) - $3500
Fiberglass body kit - $2300-3000 depending on where you get it and shipping costs. Its heavy and big.
Jakes Long Travel 6" suspension lift... because Long travel. $1100
25" tall off-road tires and rims $550...
Does not include interior.. lighting.. stereo.. painting.. so I bet it would be over $10k done.

Now if I could get it to fit on a Ranger chassis I could use some 27x9.50-14 Super Swamper's!! Whats a SxS that's smaller than a Ranger?

Few of my buddy's running sami's. They are probably to small.

Put some Toyota axles on links under the Sami frame, then a Bronco kit on top. That would be a sweet little ride. There would be a lot of money tied into it though.

Hmm.. guy used Currie Hp 9" axles and a Miata motor. Sadly its not done yet. But yeah, thats too much $$.

Now if I had some spare axles, cheap drive train, and got a sweet deal on the body that would be awesome.

I'm wondering why I still am

When I first started the old guys told me to get out while I'm young; it will just suck me in and I won't be able to get out. . . . Well here we are.

Well this old guy will tell you that a good job of any kind can be a rarity for many.

yep. Once your in you never get out.... my only regret was being young and dumb and staying with this. If I had applied my degree to the field I wanted to pursue I'd be retiring in a decade with a huge pension. But alas here we both are cogs in the system. Unless I croak or hit the lotto Ive got about another 30 years left.

A good paycheck may equate to a good job today.

A good paycheck may equate to a good job today.

Very true. My industry is in need of all types of workers from apprentices in the field - management (estimators/PM's). Been in a drought for years. If you're good, you can pretty much name your price and location. Ive got a good gig, just not located in my ideal location.

While at my local Wheeler's Cul de sac wrenching on my ride I noticed this:

Oh yeah!!!

 

[TacoXpo]

I'll take more pics next time. Pretty sweet truck with some very nice details.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Can't find any more pics of this beast....

 

[Silverback]

I guess the next step up from Thing could be Beast.

You do know the mini KTM would look nice in your garage.
