New to side by sides questions - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

bulfrog3 · 03-13-2010, 09:39 PM

Since I am a noob when it comes to these, I have a couple questions on them. Saw this one down at KOH and seemed to be everything that I would want. Place for the small kids in the back. Any help on what model and what has been done to this? These have plent of power when 4 people are in them? Any good other forums to read on side by sides?

No they dont have lots of power when 4 people are in them and they are alot more unstable as well. If I wanted a 4 seat side by side I would buy this. click on the link for pictures

The rhino's do just fine with power, with kids not adults. Are you planning on just running with young kids in the back or adults too? They tend to get light in the front end with adults in the back also. The kawasaki teryx is another one that you can check out. What kind of riding will you be doing with it? The one in the pic looks to have a long travel kit on it too, which would help in making it more stable.

The new RZR4 is really nice but $$....

Hard to say, no real changes in the body. Biggest thing I can think of would be how the roll cage mounts. But he has an aftermarket cage and you can't tell with the doors. With kids that small you would be fine as far as power goes, we have the same set-up, my kids are 7 and 9 now.

pulling our camp trailer and two kids along with two queensland heelers for an overnight trip in moab.. the rhino did great.
