I have said the exact same thing. You could buy one hell of a little toyota truck or even one of those mini trucks and they will last forever. But, of course, that was AFTER I bought my Grizzly 700 new back in 2006. :roll:

Bonehead.....I have a 2006 BBB........first i want to say that the company in Natchez has the worst customer service i have ever seen..............OK...you axle broke because of added torque those spacer put on the axle with the non stock tires..Take spacers off and get stock tires.. Wood Tire in New Albany is the best dealer they have and set you straight on any problem. .......

I thought the same thing...but this buggy came as you see it. I have made no modifications whatsoever to it. The axle is definately not heavy duty.
I am very curious to see how BBB handles this warranty claim....I have heard of poor customer service from you and others. Not only did it break the axle, it also broke the fiberglass or whatever that is that the body is made of. IMO, they should fix the axle and any damage that it breaking caused. Should be interesting....I promise to keep yall posted.

Needless to say he didnt let me because he knows these things cant hold up to any kind of mud.



I have two 1988 suzuki samurias that both cost less than one of the bbb... They will go twice as far in the woods as a bbb, carry wayyy more, pull way more and the best part they have heat and you can drive them on the blacktop!!!!

BBB is just something that people who HUNTING get, but people who go huntin have more brains than pocket book.

Not trying to get anyone ryled up but just sayin never heard a good thing about them from an owner

I own a 2008 bbb. I have the same tires he has on his. I havent had one problem out of mine so far. I hunt on the big black and I have had water in the floorboard this year. I really put it to the test this year. The thing i had to accept is that its a golf cart and nothing more. It is the perfect hunting machine in my opinion but it cant be used for much else. when your in a place that is golf cart only you dont have a choice. All 4x4 golf cart brands have issues. I have 2 friends right now that have another top brand. Each one of them has had theres in the shop at least 3 times in the last 6 months. I feel bad about this cause bonehead tested mine at his place and loved it. Hopefully it will work out in the end and they will do him right

Doesn't rile me up at all. Just makes me wish I had a brain and that I actually hunted.

After I got all my crooks out which main one was it cut off when relay got wet which i fixed myself but BBB as a vechile serves our purpose at our camp. My wife uses it to go around and do fun stuff with the kids at the sandbar etc. I enjoy using mine during turkey season and hog hunting. We have some pretty good roads at the camp but as far as mudding and such. my BBB will stay with any 4 wheeler through our mudd and then some..It is the last model made with the 180lb torque motors..i think 2006....but like a any 4 wheeler or argo or etc...gumbo at the right temp will ball it up if tires aren't slick.....I own also a 4 wheeler and a 4 wheel drive so i use my BBB what it was made to be is slipping around quiet. It works extremely well when i go elk hunting out west on private land going to and from spots. I do not use it duck hunting...sometimes it's handy for a hauling a buck out ! but in all...it fits our bill perfect to have at the camp as another vechile.......BUT.........the main reason i got it was my 4 and 7 year old boys will be teenagers one day and it scares the crap out me thinking of them driving a Rhino 60mph and hitting a tree........or rolling over........12mph....i like my chances...so pardon me if i do not have brain but maybe more vision.

I got one and as everyone else has stated. It has a purpose. I bought mine knowing my wife was taking my 2 kids (at the time, now 3) for a 4 wheeler ride everyday. I dreaded getting a call that they had wrecked or that one fell off. I LOVE IT.
Batteries aren't great and it doesn't have as much power as more wheeler but it serves a great purpose.
All 5 of us get on it and ride around my place and go meet the neighbors, go fishing and what not.

I like it, but it aint broke either
Never had it so good!

we had one at a lease, it was my father in laws, it was definatly way better than a regular golf cart as far as off road, but to me, not $10,000 different. He sold it and we both use regular golf carts now, ( well maybe a little fixed up). they are not going to go through major mud, but are about 60% of what a BBB is.

Good luck with your BBB, electric vehicles are the best for getting in quite! and around the house rides
