I suggest which ever one you like the shape of best because they will all be a quality product but keep in mind how big your rear passengers are going to be now and 4 or 5 years from now
I have a berrienbuggy sand fox 4x only a 105in wheel base (108 with 3 in longer arms) but I dont see getting 2 adults in it very comfy in the rear . But it fits my family great and isnt overly huge . but I love the shape of pipedope's flat roof .

What ever frame you choose make sure you have a roll cage that will actually withstand a rollover. the cage on a 4 seater is way longer and is no were as ridgid as a 2 seater with the shorter span from front to back. I personally do not like any frame with the front hoop. It's a hinge waiting to fold down on Impact. Remember Plumberbills rollover in his 4 seater. Food for thought!

Jason, couple of things to think about. Ody is right about the big roof and hoops from what I have been studying over the years. But that doesnt mean you cant take a berrien buggy frame, which is very inexpencive, and build the the roof and supports yourself. And also you have to take in the BAC Factor. On any given ride there is always the possibility you will get shitfaced and decide to climb harder hills then originally planned :twisted: . Remember who you ride with. :mrgreen:
