Future
Modifications
There
are so many aftermarket accessories
available for these little vehicles that
its crazy. We are looking into adding
some cosmetic additions such as a
covered roof, stereo console,
windshield, offroad lighting, etc.
Performance wise we would like to add
some suspension modifications for full Baja
style back country exploring in addition
throw a few add-ons to the engine to
open it up a little. Check back with us
