So what do you do when you are buggy free

Pig heavy or heavy enough to be safe??

his is a good question however since i have no first hand knowledge i can only say....based on all of them i have seen sitting in the parking lots with the cages crushed down in the drivers head area and bent frames and busted suspension components hanging off or strapped to other parts i am going to go with just a plain old pig heavy     

they do look better and the rzr1000 i believe is under a recall right now for turbo failures..... i think the dealership is saying to park them, so your not suppose to drive them until they figure out how to fix the issue. which means we don't know how to fix it cheap just yet but do know how to fix it right       

154 to 1600 lbs isn't impressive, the tq is more impressive and the cvt is what makes those units shine, i don't think that new shifter model would be as much fun simply imo because of the loss of speed between shifts at that power to weight ratio. but for those that don't know better and/or don't want to know better these utv's are the best dune buggy ever! sign and drive with full coverage and mechanics all over to bend you over w/o lube

I don't want to start any shit fests or disparage any builders here or elsewhere but I've seen plenty of crushed upper cages from minor endos and roll overs on sxs's and also on several minibuggies. IMO,99% of all cars are under built. That includes OEM,major/minor builders and home built.

Getting soft are you?  Guess Viagra only fixes the physical?

If this topic was on GD I'd gleefully start one.  The difference is I have a great deal of respect for our builder members. That said I know of one substantially deformed upper cage in the recent past that should not have deformed at all. Honestly ,I don't feel safe in most cars. I also don't take many rides. Most harnesses are inadequate as well since the majority have not been regularly adjusted ,keeping them easily adjustable. I will always err on the side of safety/durability. Performance is secondary to me.

i just marked this one down on my calendar as a once in a lifetime event kind of like a ufo sighting

i know full well who you are referring to........... we weren't there to see the hit ( fast and jerry and i think budlight were) and if that cage was made out of heavier wall plus with more bracing in maybe 3 diff spots the outcome would've been diff but it did bend around head pockets as intended so worked out . now do that to one of the utv's and what do you think they'll look like after seeing how far they crush after one roll over.........and the other was a complete flip landing flat on the roof lol
