Hello all, new here. Thought I'd share my current project, it's an Ezgo 4-caddy with 4-wheel independent suspension. The donor quad is a Suzuki King quad 300.
The cool thing about it is how the rear differential is made onto the engine, it has high-low-super low gearing, 2wd-4wd-4wd diff lock, and all functions are controlled by cables.
So far it seems like this quad was made for a buggy swap, the engine fits perfectly in the 4-caddy because of the added space under the rear seat. the stock atv exhaust even fits with a turn down.
Believe it or not, the stock ezgo steering even lines up and will work with the ATV tie-rods. Although they have to be shortened by about 3/8" and bushing made to fit the larger ezgo holes.
This will be a longer project as I get time around other work, but as of right now I have it mocked up and everything tacked in place. The quad only needed to be stretched 24" for everything to line up properly.
So far the bad: No aftermarket wheels, rear wheels set in too far and scrub inner stock fenders, going to attempt to convert all 4 to 4x110. rear brakes are cable while front are hydro, trying to work out a conversion or dual function pedal.
My end goal is to have it look as stock as possible from the outside, build a roll cage, do a full dash customization, audio, digital dash with speedo-tach-temp, either bucket seats or a custom built set-up.
In the pictures it looks pretty rough as I was trying to make sure it'll even work before fully committing to it, now have it broken down for welding, bead blast and paint on frame.
