[QUOTE="MickeyUSA"]Otay, I'll ask how did you brake the rail in 30 minutes. I hope to make the next one.[/QUOTE] It was actually 18 minutes. We timed it, since I broke my buggy in around 40 minutes last time. :cry: I was playing around, found a little bowl, and attempted to scare the wife....

Yeah, even though I broke my rail within 30 minutes of arriving, I had an awesome time. The Geocaching was a blast, and we enjoyed the trail riding on Sunday. Rodman Reservoir Campground is one of the nicest campgrounds you'll find. $10.90 a night, and very clean and well kept. The managers/hosts ar...

There's too many variables from one buggy to another to consider putting anything off until you get measurements. 2 buggies who have the same engine configuration, the same chassis, and the same body, may have much different clearance measurements. You have to consider th...

Every time you pull the engine, you get that much better at it. Practice makes perfect! I wouldn't pay the $40 for the tool. I've got a tap that will get the brass bushing out and I STILL prefer to pull the engine to change it. It makes me feel better to get it pressed in straight and true. Don't fo...

I'd sooner pull the engine and tap it out from the backside, since pulling a buggy engine is so easy and quick. I'd hate to mess up the carrier with a drill bit.
