Point
I saw the dump truck thing and thought we were on like yard work and landscaping shit
lol nah, fuck that
Shoulda scrolled up more lol
I want it for going up little goat trails made for side by sides, but street legal as well
Iunno
You should go full redneck anyway
Mini mall crawler
Engine swap a Honda Africa Twin
I hear Renault makes a 2 banger 2 stroke diesel
Yeah, but then I have to worry about parts
...same for the SDI too, come to think of it
Since they dont sell that in the states
Harley V-twin would be fine. Air cooled, pretty torquey, plenty available
oooo! Or something shaft driven, and then straight into the mini truck axle. Simple!
the whole point of motorcycles is them being light and manoeuvrable really, with the advantage of being able to filter/lane split
as soon as you turn them into trikes, they become entirely pointless since you get the worst of all worlds
you end up with something heavier, less good on fuel with no weather protection that has no traffic advantage
Assuming lane splitting is legal where you are
Even if it's not, if you travel any reasonable distance you're likely to go through states where it is
also, honestly, it's gonna cost you less to just pick up a small pickup
I have many times been tempted to get one of these https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/vw-caddy-pick-up-diesel/1306168421
Pickups aren't as small as a motorcycle trike
the size difference is not significant really
and this is probably smaller, through prohibitively expensive in this debate:
though the load carrying ability of that basically renders it kinda stupid, cute though
We don't have those haha
I'm looking for a street legal vehicle that is 55" in width or less
so I can take it on trails
I don't see why the mini pickup wouldn't be street legal, but the mini is wider than 55in
oh my mistake, the mini is dead on 55
I think the mini pickup would probably be too expensive though, not many were made and most rusted to shit so they're rare as hell now
Its also front wheel drive, and would be useless off road
uh... I think you'll find that a) fwd is usually better than rwd off road and b) the mini, aside from the lower than ideal clearance, is damn good off road for what it is
<:what:382980756139409409> Nigga, go get yourself a VW beetle.
fwd better off-road my ass
the mini was better than the beetle
and much better off road
