Those things are pretty cool. Got a few around here. I think you can drive them on the road here though.

I love them. Also sometimes see k-cars minivan with flatbed. To explain better... Think of a dual cab with 1/4 bed, 4 seat cabin, and something like 50cm of rear bed. Ridiculous at first. But surfboys and flower shops love them. Also to carry wall panels or lumber... (upstraight) they somehow do the job... | |

Are those itp wheels and mudlite tires? Are they the same bolt pattern as the honda independent line(rincon)? And yours looks killer with the camo did you do that as well or did it come that way? |

What do these things cost in the U.S.? There is a guy in my town who is importing them, the price is $9500. They are street legal for now in B.C. They seem awfully expensive for what you get, and just too small to be productive in most situations IMO. Maybe they are good for hunters or something?

Well I paid 3800.00 for this one but the local lot that sell them is selling them starting at 5800.00 up to 7800.00. Im guessing that they arent legal all through the states due to the lack of government testing.(front impact,side impactall those safety standards).I would be really surprised if they werent legal in Ohio I have seen dune buggies on the road in Cleavland . And the one I have is 2wd,high low and 4wd high low. And when you go to 4wd its auto diff lock ft and rear..Im really surprised that wv doesnt make them street legal this state is incredibly tax heavy and that would be another taxable item......Jason you guys did a hell of a job on that camo job!!! |

For what it's worth, they're not road legal in Louisiana either. Even though they have a VIN, the state won't license them. My friends dad bought one with the manual diff locks, they seem like some nice little rigs! Beats a 4-wheeler on the cold/rainy days, thats for sure! :-P
