Climbing will really depend on power, traction and weight. Any four seater is going to be heavy. When picking a frame, you will also need to consider who you want to put in the back seats. (Adults or Kids)

I personally like the berrien sandfox 4x because it has a 105 inch wheel base but it is hard to fit adults in the back seats. Predator also makes a very cool 106 inch and 116 inch 4 seater.

Of all the different 4 seaters I see on the trails, most of them are some version of those two frames.

well he is going to have a 2387 with a 6 rib and firestone's on it either way he goes, does beeline have a website or anything cause he likes the beeline frames and do they make a shorter 4 seater, it is going to have little kids in the back 7 and 8 year olds, thanks

They have a small 106 inch packrat 4 seater but I really like the 120 inch Tracker better.

I don't know how mine will climb as I have not finished it yet. But I am real close!!!!!
Anyway mine started as a Beeline Pack Rat Iite that Tony customized for me.
First we choped 10" off the front, Raised the sides and roof so adults could sit in the back and doubled the roll bars.
So after adding 2x3 rear arms my wheel base is about 98" I was looking for short to get around in the woods and mountains better.
I am sure it will be heavy because of the double roll bars but I LIKE IT!!!
You can go to my build page for pics. Tim's custom Beeline

Here goes DD. Ug! Put any front wheel drive motor and trans in the BACK SEAT! Welded diff , one shaft going back to another 8.8 irs lincoln diff .Use 3x3 trailing arms with 930 c/v's.IT'S CHEEEEAP! Bungy cords are great for strapping wives and kids 10 and younger to the roof. My Dad used to strap me to the front tire!
