My wife "gave me permission" to build a four seater to accomodate our growing family. I've been looking around at frames but cant really decide on what I like. I'm not a big fan of the Berians. I really like the looks of the Predators, but I dont know any one who runs one. You guys got any suggestions on the good the bad and the ugly? Thanx, N8 |

I am glad to see more people building 4 seat buggy's.. This is becoming a family sport..  Several of us (including myself) have built the Berrien Sandfox but the predator 4X is also really nice. Here is a link to a build thread of a 4 seat predator.. http://www.woodsbuggy.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=10&jfile=viewtopic.php&f=23&t=5313&p=81258&hilit=predator#p81258 |

I have built a lot of buggys over the years .A few 4 seaters ,A ton of 2 seaters .But IMO that buggy of aboone993 is one sharp buggy .By far the best looking 4 play I have saw yet.The frame just looks good the way it flows. I don't know where he got it or what kind it is. like I said JMO |

Looks like a Berrien Sand Fox to me.  Those are nice 4S buggies. |

There are a bunch of Sandfox 4 Seaters on here and I agree that aboone993 has one of the best looking. I actually like his sandfox better than my own..  BMoore (Yellow Buggy) , Mickeymouse (Red Buggy) & Aboone993 (Gray Buggy) are all the same frame. Everyone has just added extra supports in different areas. |

Get an old Cherokee or S10 Blazer and remove the doors and bust the windshield out. Boom , yer done.No need for an air freshener either. |

PlumberBills is a sandfox also. So is mine. I wouldnt go out in the hills in anything without a cage, not with my family. Plus I would hate to give up my low center of gravity switching to a stock Jeep. JMO |

How many kids and how old are they ? how tall are you ? kids can ride in the back of my buggy but an average size adult aint getting back there but i did set my front seats back to get more weight on the rear tires. Bad Influance has pics on here of a really cool bee line and A.cole has his predator on here . Just remember they all are quality frames so just get what YOU like ! and buid to your specs And thanks for the kind words guys ! |

Thanx, N8 Take a look at my build and I have a few comments on the predator frame, overall good quality, could have done few things different. (mine was the first 4 seater from them) I'll have it out next weekend for the first time and will be able to have some more feeback. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the big name brands (berrien, beeline) or Predator. I think predator is the best bang for the buck just because they build each frame to your specs. I looked at getting a berrien sandfox but by the time I was going to raise the roof, widen it and add some bars I could have bought a roller I'm also 6'3" and wanted suspension seats so I need the room. I'll let everyone know if I'm happy next week  I'm located in SW Ohio ,feel free to come take a look.

Wow Guys, thanx for all the imput, I really appreciate it. I think Mr. Cole said it best when he said by the time I buy a Berrien, raise the roof, widen it, and add the extra supports, I can buy a roller instead. Most all the Berrian buggys in Michigan are built for the sand, not the woods, I like the "Southern Style" of riding alot better. (Hills and Woods) I'm a bigger guy, and safety for my family comes first, so I want a nice beefy buggy that will take the abuse and still protect my family. My compliments Mr. Cole, your buggy looks spectacular. Thanx, N8 |
