Dennis started wheeling with Ford Bronco’s mostly
for hunting and fun wheeling. In 2000 he got into rock crawling and bought a
Jeep TJ. After dumping money into the TJ for upgrades to run harder trails he
soon realized it had much sheet metal. The parts
gathering for a buggy started in late 2004.
 

 

Dennis wrapped
approximately 300 feet of tubing around a set of Volvo portal
axels, a supercharged 3.8 V6 from a Ford supercoupe and an automatic
transmission.
Total build time was 8 months
 I
 In
March 2007 Dennis decided to retire his portal axles and is in
the process of installing a set of D60's.
 
Dennis completed teh axle swap in
December and it appears to have accomplished his goals.
His rig is now a much better climber and no longer picks up the
front end on the climbs.
