Update:
3 months of our near daily driving abuse on the frontend- NO MAINTENANCE, NO FAILURES, LOVING IT!!!!!!!!!!!( I honestly didn't think it was possible)
So I learned another benefit to the frontend- Built a utility trailer for us to haul camping gear with the buggies. After having to haul kid's (7 kid's, 13yrs.-8yrs. old) to and from the site to avoid multiple trips. The kid's decided they'd rather ride in the trailer than ride in the buggies-GO FIGURE!! So for 20 hrs. this weekend I hauled 6-7 kid's up & down hills in the trailer, all of them screaming like little girls on a roller coaster!!!!(well 5 of them were girls!) The new frontend took the strange impacts nose first with NO issues and the wheels stayed on the ground when topping a hill.I did find out the Honda TRX200SX can only tolerate about 800lbs. On hills 30% grade or more for more than 40'-50' it couldn't make it.
So I basically drove around for 2-1/2 days in "one" buggy and everyone was HAPPY
Trailer- 42"wide x 46" long x 18" tall x 134lbs total weight (wheels & tires = 40lbs alone)
