I thought about it for a while and decided I would probabley break my neck again. I picked up an ARGO and modified it to be Quad friendly, Rally Seats, reversed the controles and set them up to work ast the throttle too. Its good. but slow I take it some pretty hairy places, passaners are usualy shitting themselves or laughing thier asses off. But i want something quicker.

And i did it cheap, probably spent a total of $200 on bits and pieces including the 2 seats. The down side with cheap it took A long time. Countless hours. But everyone needs a hobby.

Yes it does water too. I didnt use the original tyres they come with which are better for swimming. However there is a mount for an outboard on the back. I considered bolting an electric outboard beside the drivers seat but i have much more fun on land and it can still cross a slow running river.

Would love to meet up with someone in North Queensland who has one. Message me if you are up for a trip.
