Little Man and I got to test drive the buggy yesterday at the Creek and it survived and so did we. Only had three problems all day long and they were minor ones. First one was brakes, the ball valve for the brake lock was leaking and it leaked down to where I had no pedal over night. Re bleed the brakes go over every fitting and make sure they were tight. Second problem was the throttle hug wide open send me (luckily Little Man was not in the buggy) over a steep hill before I could grab the brakes and into a tree. Sudden stops aren't fun. Have pictures of it afterwards when we were winching it out Third problem seems to be a recurring problem with me in the last buggy and now this one and that is pulling the boots out of the flange on the CV's.
So over all this Predator buggy called the Grizzly was fantastic I couldn't have asked for a better ride. I got so many compliments on it and several people asked in detail about the buggy. Ride was great it handles great even being wider I couldn't tell much difference myself on the trails. I went up and over things others hit two and three times and I went right over it.

I have to thank Jeff owner of Predator buggies for a great frame. Joel the Glass Man for helping me so much. Larry with Speedshop for parts and answering all my silly questions.
I have a great buggy now that I am very proud to have.

Not the best pictures but taken with the cell phone overcast and drizzling rain. Got to ride and it was a blast very happy with it. You can't beat this frame in my book.
