polaris buggy

[wyattboche]

I think it was in here or maybe not. there was a posting of someone building a buggy with polaris powertrain. anybody seen this?

Ridgerunners are built from Rangers. It's a good powerpack if you happen to have one laying around. To purchase a powerpack alone is almost as much as a complete Ranger. A company several years ago was building a single seat buggy based intirely on the Ranger and was trying to sell it to the military, but at 16,500 back then I guess they passed on it. There was a article about it in Popular Mechanics back then. I have considered doing a replacement single seat frame like that. It would be a good compromise for all types of terrain

I have a Polaris sled motor in my buggy. But no Polaris trans or nothing. Are you thing about using a sportsman or outlaw setup?

The buggy I spoke of is called the Prowler which is based on the Sportsman.
The company web site is atvcorp.com . There is a youtube video of it listed as
"Prowler ATV military". Sorry I havent figured out how to do all that link stuff.

guess you lost me, I thought you were talking about a ridge runner at first, and said it was made from a ranger, as well as the military issue machine, you said ranger again there..

Simply making clarification, The Polaris Ranger is a ute, The Sportsman which I should have mentioned is a quad. Both share many parts. I mentioned the Prowler because its a minibuggy powered by the powerplant in question.
The prototypes used Polaris but the later ones seem to be Yamaha. Im very sorry if I confused anyone
