VTT Land Lizard hybrid
Thanks to Van for an awesome job on the VTT rail kit that he customized to fit my bug.
The Land lizard, as far as i can tell is a mid nineties contraption that was not meant for my ass to fit in...
making it work for now until i can afford to put some real cash towards something much, much better

and after.
now if you look hard enough you will see the weak points, namely the tiny axle and more importantly the sad front fork attachment set up... i think
this bug will do well for the summer and then will be retired as a tandem ride.

again a HUGE thanks to Van.
Stellar guy- great communication- went above and beyond to help me out with this project and keep the cost down.
hell, he seemed more excited about it than i did, even though i brought the bug with me to the parcel service so i could assemble it in their parking
lot.
Went out for a ride with it tonight for the first time with the new seat/rails and was out for about 90minutes and stopped cuz it was starting to
rain/had to get my daughter to bed.
I couldn't handle 30 minutes with the first seat due to the lack of back support.

Glad you liked it. It's basically my standard XR+ kit on his land lizard. The land lizard did not have the large axle with rail tubes like the
Peter Lynn buggies so I had to weld plates on the kit and also his original axle. The axle is only 1" in diameter so will do fine for a while. It was
already starting to bow a little from usage.
Joel is correct. I had fun building it and it was good to help out a fellow buggy pilot.

another great chat with Van tonight, more changes to come on this buggy.
gotta say yet again- great guy. makes sure his clients get what they want/need and spends the time to explain pros and cons.
Super patient.
Thanks again Dude!
