I am using .125 on my new buggy. The old green buggy had 3/16 in it and that was overkill. Lots of "hill shooter" buggies use .100 to cut down on weight. It really depends on how tough you want it to be. I have dents in my floor but no tears.

Dang, I could kick myself in the butt for not buying mine last year instead of waiting. Might just redo mine and add more tabs.
