Here are some more information for Dune Buggy:

The scrub radius is a distance between Steering Axis Inclination and center of the wheel where both of them would theoretically be touching the road. Steering axis is a line between the lower ball joint and the top most pivot of the hub. On the McPherson strut, the top most pivot point is the strut bearing whereas the bottom point consists of the lower ball joint. Making use of suspension using the lower and the upper control arms, pivot points are placed where the upright connects the control arms. The Inclination to the steering axis could be measured as the angle between the centerline and the steering axis. This means, if camber is found adjustable at the pivot points then SAI can be changed. Therefore, altering the scrub radius by altering the width of the offsets of the wheels could allow you to run the car safely.

If the centerline is inboard then the scrub radius is positive ad if it is outboard of tire centerline then the scrub radius is a negative one. The rear wheel drive trucks and cars mostly have a positive scrub radius and the FWD cars have negative or a zero scrub radius as they are having a higher level SAI angle. In order to alter the scrub radius, usage of the wheels having different offset than the stock could prove helpful. The main purpose of the scrub radius is to provide help center wheels after the cornering also for retaining the stability of the wheel.

Net effect of the running of an offset LESS in positive is a poor steering control that develops tram lining seen over the surfaces. The wheels would pull off on either of the sides which would encourage instability at high speed. Such sorts of effects could be lessened simply by setting the front wheel alignment to the neutral. However, in many of the cases it would simply be unwise for the usage of wheels that alters scrub radius of cars. This is the main reason why many of the insurance companies don't pay out on accidents that involve cars with after market wheels.

A larger scrub radius, four inches or maybe about 100mm were used earlier in most of cars. Its advantage is that the tire rolls just as wheel is steered that reduces on the efforts while parking the car. This also helps in increasing the width of the engine bay which is quite an important point in most of the sports cars. The scrub radius is of very much importance in regards with the steering stability and the wheel alignment. In case of a small scrub radius, contact patch would be spun in the place while parking the vehicle and it takes a lot of effort. An advantage of the scrub radius is that the small scrub radius allows the steering to become bit less of sensitive for braking inputs, particularly.

The final outcome of your dune buggy will most definitely depend on the construction plans you follow from the start. Save your time and energy searching the internet looking for dune buggy plans and take a look at my plans of choice (click on the blue link). You'll get an excellent quality buggy for a great price and most importantly you'll save time by not having to scour through the junk that's out there! Drive safely

Oregon photos

Oregon is a fantastic place for photography.   Oregon's coast is great to visit any time of the year.   The many beaches, steep green hillsides, beautiful rock formations, and inviting coastal towns make it an outstanding travel destination.  The drive along Highway 101 in Oregon is definitely the scenic route.  It largely follows the coastline affording good access to coastal towns, beaches, and other attractions. 

The north coast starts south of Astoria, which is at the mouth of the Columbia River, one of the largest rivers in the US.  Seaside and Cannon Beach are both great coastal downs in the north coast.  Haystack Rock, a 235 foot rock formation just off the coast in Cannon Beach, is not to be missed.  Farther south and slightly inland, Tillamook, is home to the famous Tillamook cheese and tours are offered. 

The central coast has many great attractions.  The Oregon Dunes provide fantastic recreation.  They are best accessed by ATVs or dune buggies but the steep descents can also be skiied.  There are miles of trails and open beaches to explore There are also many lakes in this region with excellent fishing. 

The central coast is also home to sea caves, with one near Florence being advertised as the largest in the world and also provides a home to hundreds of sea lions.  Sea Lion Caves is a popular tourist destination and also provides a beautiful view of the steep green hillsides descending to the ocean, a waterfall, and Heceda Head Lighthouse.  Oregon's largest coastal city and protected coastal inlet, Coos Bay, is also in the central coast. 

Going south from Coos Bay, Bandon is a beautiful city home to some of the country's highest rated golf courses.  Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes are two top courses that show off the best of American link style golf.  Port Orford is a pleasant coastal city with outstanding scenery and beautiful offshore rock formations.    The mouth of the Rogue River is in Gold Beach, which is home to many scenic rock formations as is the Brookings, which is just a few miles north of the California border.

What does a Dune Buggy made from a car stripped of its body parts look like?

If I take a car and take all of the doors and siding panels and etc off what would it look like? I cant find a picture anywhere so I dont know if maybe someone on here has one.
Or what If I took all this off of a lifted s10 pickup, Would it just look like a lifted dune buggy with a tailgate

Its called a Truggy.
