I think Deerwagon has a good idea, they would make a great rental. Someplace with easy trails for someone who wants to tell his friends he took the family ATVing in Utah or wherever. You may see more of these than the rental Jeeps in Moab.

I agree with you here. Could make quite a rig out of an old Jeep or Toyota pickup. Could make it street legal too.

Another thought I had is that it is cheaper than buying two 2-up quads and certainly cheaper than buying 2 RZRs. If my 500 has enough oomph to take my 350 lbs. and a passengers 200 lbs. through mud and up and down steep hills, I don't see the RZR having troubles with 800 lbs. of people. Just some more random thoughts.
