Default Re: Check Out My Frame Design

That SXS would be awsome around here in AR for the rocky areas.

How hard would it be to build one with 4WD UTV components?

I am envisioning the 1000 Prowler front diff, engine, etc in YOUR chassis...

Polaris RZR!!!

Thank you but it sounds to me as though you are giving me track width numbers. Which for some reason people on here like to confuse w/ wheelbase.
This would mean that you have 3" of scrub per side for a total of 6". Thats a lot. Wheelbase is the dimension from the center of the front tire to the center of the rear tire on the same side of the vehicle.
