My kids Monster Wagon

[mxfever090]

A couple of years ago I put mud tires on my Honda 4x4 quad. The stock tires/wheels sat in the garage and I often looked at them and thought “what can I do with these?” Then BAM! The light bulb went off. I went on a part scavenging mission and the results are what you see in the pictures. The kids absolutely love it! I can pull them around with the quad for hours and they laugh and giggle the entire time. Not to mention it’s a huge hit when we take it to car shows.

Before the kids went for the first ride I put 100 lbs of weight in it and pulled it around at a pace that I would never think of taking the kids on. Yes parts broke at first but with repairs and improvements it finally passed durability. I also took the harnesses out of old car seats and installed in the wagon so they can’t accidently fall out.

I love it! Those are some lucky kids too. Looks like the front bumper is almost big enough to put a cooler on too. I'd love to build something like that one day if I had kids.

I thought about putting some cup holders where the diamond plate is but haven't done it yet. I tore out all the electronics from the power wheels. Wheel motors, wiring and batteries so there is a suprising amount of storage in it. The kids diaper bag will fit under the hood and you can easily fit a coat, six pack what ever it may be under the seat.

Thanks! The shocks are door struts like you would find on a hatchback. They don't have a fast reaction time but it's not like I baja it or anything. They compress when I sit in it but with the kids in it they don't move until I go over un-even terrain. People are suprised to see the suspension actually moves.
