Nope on the quadrunner, I do recall someone else saying that though. I looked at one at a boneyard, but they wanted like $500 and it smoked like a chimney.

I was thinking about IRS, but I think I will keep this one simple and square. Was looking at the old swingarm, and what I am going to run for an axle, and the engine mount locations, and to add the support I want for the axle bearings, I would all but chop that one up to get where I want. In the short of it, I will go wider, as to allow for more bearings and have them spaced apart equally(planning on using 4 pillow blocks), and boxing in the main tube will allow me to easily add another brake later, if needed.

I am really kicking myself right now, I tossed out a 1986 TRX200sx about 6 months ago in the move, and that would have been the perfect engine for this buggy. If I can scrounge something up better suiting my needs, I will consider it, but at this point, I need to keep moving forward to hit my deadline.
