Honestly, you're better off buying one already built. It will be cheaper and less frustrating in the end. You need to be a really competent fabricator with knowledge of suspension geometry to really build one yourself.

Ya I'll be sure and keep everyone posted.  I was reading a Peterson's 4Wheel & Off-Road and they made a buggy that looks pretty sick.  I was kinda thinking of something along those lines.
