mini trucks

[joshdomingue]

anybody had one of these? are they worth a crap? i know i havn't seen many around....

My brother in law had 2. One camo and one white.
Good lil trucks for deer and hog hunting.
Good milage when driven in the woods.
His were not inspected or licensed for road use.
Drove on the wrong side, I think they had Suzuki engines.
He sold the camo one, not sure if he still has the white one.
The bigger tires he put on the camo one did rub if you turned
the wheel all the way to one side.

I have one, 91 Suzuki, 4wd, 2 hi 4 hi & 4 low & diff lock with right tires they are bad azz!!!! Won't go everywhere a Rhino will but not far from it! Have made some believers at my camp mine had 25" swamp witches on it, I took em off cause we have miles of gravel roads & those tires were rough on hard gravel roads, went to a stock type 4 wheeler tire & it's still a beast in the mud & IT HAS A HEATER! one other things is I built a front bumper out 3" channel & mounted a 3500# winch & also built a 4" pipe back bumper, cut a slot in top & filled it with quickcrete, they are a lilttle light in the rear, really helped with traction & ride, some guys just put a heavy steel plate in the bed.

They claim the one in the pic will do 50+

[joshdomingue]

the way i figure it they are way cheaper than a side by side and you get a/c , heater and a bigger bed ......and they are street legal!!!

Mine will do 55 hammer down! It gets a little hairy over 45! & may the lord be with you if a large dog or deer runs in front of you!!!! )

Cousin has one on his farm in Mississippi and loves it.
Fun to drive. Don't know if it will go 50mph though.
He drives his on state hwys to make local runs.

My 55 mph was going down hill also

What about parts? They did have a problem getting replacement parts at one time and it killed sales.

Had one. Sold it and bought a Honda Big Red. Not enough power for me. Burnt clutch up one time. My ITPs got caked up with so much mud, they wouldn't spin. Nice vehicle for a deer lease though, heater and AM radio. Mine was a Mitsubishi.

Mine would go 55 mph

Brother in laws was not a Suzuki, but had a Suzuki engine in it.
May have been a Mitsubishi.
