Hello all,

Im looking into building my own UTV. Not from a kit. But actually building my own frame, buying and mounting an engine etc etc etc......A friend of mine and I have been talking about doing it for years, as he is the engine/mechanic guy and I can do all of the welding/fabricating.

Anyways, I have been scouring the web and different off road or UTV forums and have found 0 information regarding doing it. Anyone have any ideas of where I can go to start researching for our build? We need to at least start with a basic print, even if we modify it somewhat we still need a starting point. Are there any forums that deal with this sort of thing specifically? We will probably start with a small one seat sand rail type of vehicle and then build a bigger 4 seater.

Any help at all is appreciated.

That is interesting... but surely your are mechanically inclined right? This will not be a simple and easy project.

Yes. Hard to weld or fabricate without being. But building your own sand rail isn't anything new. Google it. There is tons of info online about it. Just can't find any for building a more UTV style version

      Best UTV Windshield for Extreme Conditions
      By hetovi
      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      Has anyone installed the power dump on a Kioti K9? If so, does it eliminate the safety lock? Does it work well?
      Thanks for your input

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.
