Hi..I've been looking to buy a Sportrak/Fourtrak. Would much prefer a diesel engine that leads me to the Fourtrak but would love to be able to take the roof off as in the Sportrak....are there Fourtraks with this feature? Can't find any mention of it so far.

Submitted by bundyrumandcoke on

The LWB Fourtrak/Rocky, with the resin top at the rear has a removable roof. The sunroof above driver/passenger removes in 10sec. The rear is a little bit longer, probably 1/2 hr with an electric screwdriver. The only problem with taking the rear roof off is the rear door. It sticks up like a sore thumb. It can also be removed, with the spare wheel carried in the rear, and the number plate mounted elsewhere, or you can source a second rear door, and modify it by removing the glass, and cutting it off at sill level, to match the sides of the rear.

hope this helps xxx

Yes, I suppose that would be correct. I never thought of that as a way out.

New member looking to buy Fourtrak

Submitted by Mirshid on

Hi, we are 2 new members (mother & daughter) and are looking to buy a fourtrak to tow our horse trailer. Can any of you experts give us a few tips on what to look for (problem areas etc.) as we are not very mechanically minded.

Many thanks
Dawn & Claire
