Rock Crawler Buggy Tube Chassis on 2040-parts.com
Gibsonville, North Carolina, US
New 2 seat Jim's Garage chassis built to order. Built for front engine, with front or rear radiator. Designed to use front and rear four link suspension with coilovers, air shocks or ORI's.
I have built 25 chassis to date. About 10 of those I have built to turnkey buggys. Most have used v-8 LS GM car or truck engines, a few older GM small blocks, one 4.3 v-6, one land rover v-8, one Ford 5.0, and one Chevy BB. You can search rock mafia or jims garage on pirate4x4 and hardline crawlers to see many of the buggys I have built. Search jims garage buggy on youtube to see them in action. Lots of pictures on Jim's garage facebook page. Ebay will no longer allow links to outside sites. The first 8 pictures here are all 2 seat chassis, the last 2 are an example of a 4 seat chassis. Please contact me with any questions.
