Hello all, It's been many years (more like decades) since I last owned a rail buggy. When I owned one years ago forums like this was nonexistent. I've lurked this forum for weeks before joining and finally buying a rail. This buggy has a few more features that my last buggy didn't have. One feature is the cutting brake. I'm not sure if my coordination will ever allow me to use this brake effectively. I never even heard of this kind of braking until I started looking for rails. I'll list all that I can remember about the rail......

-Fully street legal and titled in MI
-IRS with 3 rib bus trans
-disk rear brakes
-single handle cutting brake
-CNC hydrolic pedals
-widened front beams
-extended rear arms
-1641 engine dual port twin carb
-sand paddles
-HID driving lights
-aluminum body panels
-limiting straps

I'm sure there is more but I can't remember everything.
Drove it around my sub division and she feels really good and very stable. Once the weather breaks I'll have a better feel for her but for now she seems alright.

Will do, I have a buddy that lives in Harrison near Leola Trails. My number one priority destination will be Silver Lakes Dunes. I've never been but that'll change real soon.

I have been meaning to get to Silver Lake as well. My buddy pumped me full of expensive parts to run there but I dont have a tow rig for my enclosed trailer anymore. So I moved up north to a trail heavy area. Came up from CapaC area.
