Thanks guys. Maintenance should be easy because everything that needs attention is easily accessible. Build the hydraulic pump mount today. First mockup: Had to mill somrthing off the rear cover... ...to fit those mounts First mount tacked on: And because it needs more...

Started with building the second transfercase mount today: Then i was tried to figure out if there`s room for everything like i planned it. This is the hydraulik tank i`m going to use: Disassembled it: Had about 20l hydraulic oil left in it: Doesn`t look bad in there: This is...

Started with the transfercase mounts today: Set the position: First side mocked up:

Started with the rear body frame uprights: Mounted the engine mount to it: Transmission mount: Started building the other shaft: Need to clock the transfercase to get a better angle on the shaft. This is a mockup for the body. Also ordered an exhaust and radiator:

Used to ride a Ranger and RZR, lets talk about understeer...

And they ride like **** with tracks on them...

Thanks. Did some shopping today: I decided to go with a receiver tube on the back end. So i milled a window in the rear crossmember: Drilled the receiver tube: And welded it in: Also made the engine crossmember and lower engine mount:

Started by turning down the weld on a Samurai u-joint: Then i started machining a flange for the transfer case: While the saw was working i started cutting the first two pieces of steel für the bodywork. Planning just a rectangular box, but i`d like to see some better designs... Then i...

Looked like this when i came home from work today: There was my Suzuki transfercase in one of those packages. I thought it`s way to big judging by the size of the package, but it was just packed really good. Unfortunately the oil was left in it and now it was everywhere in the package. So i...

Decided to ditch the chain drive, and welded shaft and go with a LJ80 trandfer case instead. Also clocked the engine and going to install it sideways, using the rear axle output to power the transfer case. In order to do this i put the rear axle output back on that i removed yesterday : But i...

I didn't measure it, but i guess it's about 7-10mm out at the housing. The axle came out of a running car and did it's job great. I've seen axles bent as much that you could see it with your bare eye running several thousands of kilometers without any issues. I think most of the axles are bent...

Put a lot of time in it today and didn`t get much done. Wanted to set the engine position and figure out a driveline configuration. First i removed the not needed rear driveshaft output: And started playing around with the engine: Machined the front frame crossmember: Then i...

Thanks man. I can`t use that output for that, because it`s only driven when the car is driving. It`s also reversed when backing up. Started cutting the frame rails today: Cut holes for the axles: Had to pull the axle shafts but didn`t have the right tool, so i made one...

So i started working on it today. First i picked up the Samurai axles. We had to build two matching ones with 3,7: Everything i got: First i ground of all that unneccesary crap : Cut of the wheel bearing seat: Turned down the weld: Came right off with a single blow of a hammer ...

You mean the license plates? Where did you stay? Picked up the steel for the frame, boogie axles and chassis table:

I sure cab. Since i`m trying to keep it as small as possible so there`s just not enough room for the engine and everything and myself. So on the front car should be enough room for myself and a passenger and the rear car is the power unit. Those will be the steering rams, i already machined...

Thanks guys. Really excited myself to see how this turns out. Pulled the engine and removed the frame: All gone: Then i started reorganizing the shop. Started with the bandsaw: Belt sander: Power hacksaw and grinder mount: Cold saw: Mounted the grinders: So this is the...

Thanks man. Started by parting out the Hägglund today. This is how it sat: Removed my bandsaw from it`s stand and used it as a portaband to cut the cage of. Worked great despite the saw beeing pretty heavy: Cage removed: And cut: When this`ll be done i`ll rearrange some machines...

Hi guys, i decided not to continue working on that project. It was just too much ghetto fab in it and i got angry every time i wanted to return working on it because i saw a thousand things i would like to change and fab them better. Was a lot of fun building this and i got a lot of skill by...

Hi guys, i decided not to continue on the Mini Hägglund but built this one instead. It`s loosely based on a vehicle made by Katrak: I`m not a CAD guy, so here`s the first drawing: I`m trying to keep this as small and lightweight as possible. Should end up pretty exactly as small as a...
