Not sure how well the mods does, but honestly in the end it will still be a yerf dog, just a lighter duty buggy.

The Yerf needs a football field to turn around in, I don't see the HD replacement mods making a difference since its still the same steering just heavy dutier.

Some larger tires along with the rack mod (cutting/filing extra teeth into it) will help the turning radius. This is a spiderbox i assume.

I just got done doing some front end mods on my yerf and it turns pretty good now...
I had a Gen 2 buggy (short top A-Arms), I just extended the top ones, and drilled new holes in the BD spindles then cut off what was left sticking out. Made new shock mounts for the top and re-positioned my Rack, took about 5-6 hours to do all of this. Next I'll grind out a couple new teeth into it like X-bird just said. And EJ mac, with the right mods the yerf can pretty much hang or out due any buggy in it's class.

Since I don't have other bigger buggies to compete with I'd agree!!!!!

FWIW--when i did the rack, i added 11 teeth in order to mount it on center. Makes it 1 3/4 turns lock to lock. Believe it or not, the rack boots stayed in place during my limited test run and i hadn't even zip-tied them yet.

4 addition grooves/teeth (1-1/4 turn) is really all that's needed on the rack to get a tight turning radius!!!

I had a crossfire 150, it is a great buggy, trail worthy stock. But after I have put a little time into my yerf it can best the crossfire any day! I guess it's because it weighs over 100+lbs less.

Can't agreee with that!!! Since we drive both the Punisher and the Spiderbox side-by-side most of the time. I'd have thought the Spiderbox would easily outrun the Punisher- they're about as even as it get's even with the weight difference. Each have they're strong points but neither is considerably better than the other.

Depends on the mods I guess. It is faster than my spiderbox, but I have more power.

You can get longer boots from any offroad supply shop that has them for the shocks. Just how many slots per side are you guys doing?

You can put -I guess as many grooves as you want- But as I said earlier you only need 4 grooves, they can be all on the long side or split up on both sides. Last edited by metalstudman1; 04-26-2012 at 09:55 PM. |

I just did what MSM said to do when I did my teeth and it worked out great. My turning is on point now, I can make a U turn in the middle of the street now. If you do all teeth on one side I think you will have to re-position the rack.

How long of a boot do you need?

Mine with the 11 teeth added was for a completely custom front end (spindle center to steering arm bolt center is a longer distance than a stock yerf so i needed more teeth to get the wheel angle/turning radius i wanted.) and to reposition the rack on center. Ckau will know how many it takes to center a stock yerf rack for those wanting to do that. Likely is around 4-5 teeth added on the "long" side of the rack.
