2008 LT-2???? please help

[RSKY]

I am new to this site and to the buggy world. I would like to build a safe busa poewred rail. I cant really afford the 30K turn keys that are out there. Rand across the team mot site and there LT-2 has a bunch of build options from plans to kits to rollers and then a turn key. Is this a good buggy and when i mean good i mean is my skull going to be crushed in the event of a roll over and will this thing come apart if built correctly. The price just looked do able. Please help

I guess I'll be the 1st to welcome you to the site...
Team Moto I hate to bash a fellow minnesotanIf you do a search you will find a fairly heated and interesting post/thread on them...If you buy the plans EXPECT to get a owners manual on how to put together their kit not how to cut/bend the cage

I have looked around in here and you are right. I guess there are alot of unanswered questions about buisness practices and quality. I would hate to pay for a kit and not get what i thought i payed for. I guess if i could find a desent cage already welded up and peice it together from there it would be a good starting point you think?. I have seen alot of popular fabricators that off frames and then parts. Tom pro, sinister, short sand. Any suggestions on going that route. I am in no hurry to get one together and have to pay bills and a mortgage while doing it LOL

Before I jump into the fray too deeply let me say Welcome to MBN!

Now, tell us about your fabrication abilities and tools. If you have fab skills and a place to build it might be best to build from plans rather than pay for a roller 'cuz a good roller is expensive.

Good advice to consider a used car. Problem is finding a good used car. At the prices some cars are going for you might consider full size, honda or subie powered.

Thanks Gene. My fab experience is about 0. Unless you count the 24 hr home depot flux core rental but hey I did make to pieces of metal stick together. Honestly i pick up things fast and plan on purchasing a mig welder shortly. I was hoping for a a mostly bolt together situation. However If i could find a good used one i would much rather go that route then invest in the tools little by little to work on something of my very own. I just love putting things together.
