Now I just need to figure out my low oil pressure.

Now I just need to figure out my low oil pressure.

So,  low oil pressure is from cam bearings that got hammered.
Theory is that I had too much oil in the pan and the crank was splashing into a froth.
Aerated oil is not good for an IC engine.

i call bs on too much oil   i run at least 2 quarts over any motor i race   haha

Buggy is sad.

I removed the engine for repairs and cut out ALL of the subframe and skidplate.

I got the engine back with new cam bearings and started mocking the new subframe.  2x2x.25" wall box tube with .25" skid plate. I'm going for beef,  screw light weight...

I also changed the tranny mount so that its not part of the lower subframe.

I hope to have this thing ready for Big Dogs.

you put your link bolts not straight again, wont the geometry bind up like the first iteration of the rear before?

If I was bushings,  yes.

the lower links front and rear frame side were/are ballistic weld on joints

I figure I have 1 or 2 more nights of fab before I can burn in the new steel.

Then it will be time for final assembly (again). 

Installing the engine and tranny is like a bar puzzle now.

Subframe complete.

Most of the little mods are done to allow for the new chassis.

Transfercase comes out the top now.  I made the scatter shield removeable.

also built a type of tranny mount "sling" to keep everything off the subframe/skidplate.
