Hey y'all thanks for your input !
I have been surfing Craigslist for "sandrails" and have seen some good junk and some nice rides that I can't afford and I am looking for advise.
1) My dune buddies say to stay away from V-dubs but they are so plentiful.....
2) Mid-engine -vs- rear.....
3) Long travel is out for $$ reasons so ... stock -vs- mid travel
4) Swing axle -vs- irs
5) Or is it as simple as to what you can afford? If money was no object we all know what we would have........
My budget is in the 5 to 7k range and looking for more reliability than anything else...... Im not into needing to wrench every other trip just to keep it running, but I am willing to work and upgrade my ride if its a good base to start from.
Thanks for looking,
Bill
