Building My Own

[JaredC]

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
