Rock Crawler Buggy Tube Chassis on 2040-parts.com
Gibsonville, North Carolina, US
New 2 seat Jim's Garage chassis built to order. Built for front engine, with front or rear radiator. Designed to use front and rear four link suspension with coilovers, air shocks or ORI's.
I have built 25 chassis to date. About 10 of those I have built to turnkey buggys. Most have used v-8 LS GM car or truck engines, a few older GM small blocks, one 4.3 v-6, one land rover v-8, one Ford 5.0, and one Chevy BB. You can search rock mafia or jims garage on pirate4x4 and hardline crawlers to see many of the buggys I have built. Search jims garage buggy on youtube to see them in action. Lots of pictures on Jim's garage facebook page. Ebay will no longer allow links to outside sites. The first 8 pictures here are all 2 seat chassis, the last 2 are an example of a 4 seat chassis. Please contact me with any questions.

Lexus IS F ends production to make way for the new Lexus RC F
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Lexus IS F is no more The Lexus IS F was the car Lexus hoped would take the fight to cars like the BMW M3. But in the 7 years the IS F has been on sale it’s only managed to shift around 11,000 units, partly because it just didn’t have the dynamics or power of the M3, but also because few yet consider Lexus a ‘Performance’ brand. So the Lexus IS F has now ended production after a less than stellar sales showing, and Lexus are instead pinning their hopes for a credible M3 beater in the new RC F.
