Here are some pics of my HH. I built the front end using plans from the Shredder II buggy. The engine came from a 2001 polaris scrambler.

Your wife after you to get hers up to the level of yours now?

Kearney 07-05-2012 05:14 PM

Oh yeah she is. Mines the prototype. She wants perfection on hers haha

T3beatz 07-05-2012 09:09 PM

hey Kearney, what hill climb was that? I didn't see anyone standing on the side, Me and a few other guys where standing there on a couple of your runs.

Also, that second pic in your first post I've seen that set of rocks on ebay or some just like it, with someone selling buggies, when I find the pic I'm gonna post it! lol

Kearney 07-05-2012 09:21 PM

Tj, that's the same hill. I don't remember if it was my first or second run. Those rocks are in my front yard.

T3beatz 07-05-2012 09:35 PM

Maybe someone posted there buggy there while you were out, got a few pics then took off. I can't find the ebay listing anymore, it was a while ago, looked the same but I doubt that it was.

maybe if Mackenzi71 posted his buggy in that same spot he can get a good offer for it?

Kearney 07-05-2012 09:49 PM

haha...heres Makinzies http://lubbock.craigslist.org/mcy/3121223405.html

T3beatz 07-05-2012 10:45 PM

$1700? he is reaching for that! It's not a horrible looking buggy, if he took the time to clean it up and get rid of the 1980's trailer awning on the top, and slap a little paint on it. it looks as though he got rid of the water hoses and penut butter Jar reservoir. lol

How'd you end of rolling your HH at the BN event?

Aww man, thats how it happens :(

T3beatz 07-06-2012 12:00 AM

He did a good job of fixing it... 20 secs is all it takes in the right hands.

I flipped mine in the scrambles, didn't know which way to go made a quick turn at the last second and popped over a bank and rolled it.

Kearney 05-28-2013 10:26 PM

I built a new cage for it this fall and redid a few things i didn't like.

That looks soooo much better. kind of edge pirahna like in the front and traditional sand/woods rail in the back. Any thoughts of additional brace bars on a diagonal back from the two front mains? Would make it a bit of a pain for getting in/out, but that's one impact area all these things lack structurally.

Yes, it has been mentioned on a few sites to try to add something there. The truth is im done for this year. I ran out of motivation and barely got this far. Once the riding season is done I plan to add some more gussets and bracing.
