We are thinking about buying a traxter XL(the one with the dump bed) as soon as we sell our custom golf cart. Just wondering how many miles you have on you traxter? We wouldnt be riding any water or mud so i dont think we will have any problems. Thanks for any help. Sean

Sean,

What are you planning on doing with that Traxter? MY guess is you're thinking of mounting a Margarita machine to it so you can 'cool off' anywhere you need to while out on the dunes. Am I right or are you just gonna use it for boring stuff - like work?

A guy I ride with has done everything imaginable to his trax. Most recently he had it submergedat an angle and had the seat and bars sticking out of the water. When we finally got it out, we drained it and a few pulls later it came back to life. You can check out the pics at http://valleyatvclub.org
