Dune Buggy Kits

A dune buggy kit is vitally important in keeping you safe while you use one of these powerful little vehicles. Kits also help you to give a dune buggy your personal touch. Kits will come in a variety of different shapes and sizes but they are all geared towards improving your dune buggy driving experience. Here are five of the best dune buggy kits currently available.

Roll Cages
Roll cages are a vital kit in any fast and powerful vehicle. The cage will protect you in the case of a crash by absorbing a large amount of the shock. The cage will also help to stiffen chassis of a dune buggy, making it slightly more stream lined and quicker. Roll cage kits come in metallic and fibreglass form. Fibreglass kits are more expensive but they are lighter in weight and should save you a great deal of money in fuel expenses.

Custom Bonnets
Custom bonnet kits allow you to keep all of the things which make a dune buggy tick, safe.  Strong and durable bonnets can also absorb a lot of the shock front a front on crash or impact. Bonnet kits for dune buggies will come in a front and rear form, offering additional support to either end of the vehicle. The suggested material for a custom bonnet is fibreglass because it will keep the weight at the front of the vehicle down.

Nudge Bar Kits
Nudge bar kits are impact materials. They can be attached to the front and back of a dune buggy. They work by acting as a shock absorber. This will protect the main chassis of the car during a race of if you have an accident. Nudge bar kits are recommended because when equipped with the main chassis of the car, the amount of shock reaching you in an impact is significantly reduced. Nudge bars can fit easily onto the front bumper of a dune buggy or the rear wheel arches.

Door Sill Kits
Door sill kits are an often overlooked dune buggy kit but they are just as important as others. A dune buggy has doors, just like any other vehicle. If the sills of these doors are not protected then scratches and friction will be created every time you get in and out of the dune buggy. This will cause thousands in body work damage. Door sill protectors commonly come in rubber and can be fitted all the way around the area where a door opens and closes. Sill protectors take no time at all to install.

Interior Kits
Interior kits include many of the thing  which are taken for granted inside a racing type vehicle. This includes professional seats and racing belts to hold you in place. Interior kits are important because unlike conventional seat belts, racing belts will pin you to your chair and virtually prevent any body movement during an impact. Racing seats can also support your lower back while you are using the dune buggy. Interior kits will also include rear seats, which are replicas of the front seats, if you have a larger dune buggy.
