    Fixing up a Dune Cat for a friend.

    We may lift the rear of the body a couple of inches to fit the engine under.

    Fixing up a Dune Cat for a friend.

    I saw a video of a guy that added 6 inches to his frame and body. Looked great.

    Fixing up a Dune Cat for a friend.

    I'll look into the spring spindles. Are they available to purchase or would I have to make them?

    Fixing up a Dune Cat for a friend.

    I'm pretty sure it would need a lot more power and some weight up front. But would be fun to try. I made it up on my old CR250 with a paddle.
