Our mechanics have been working on dune buggies and Volkswagens since 1968 and we use only the finest parts from well-known suppliers. If you are not mechanically inclined, we can walk you through the step by step process of selecting components for your turn-key build once selected, we will do the work for you. These require the least amount of assembly, but some welding is still required (ie., seat belt tabs, steering bearing mounts, pedal mounts, shift box, etc.) Fully welded chassis are the most costly to ship and it is recommended you pick up your fully welded chassis at Carolina Dune Buggies. While this kit CAN be shipped, it is recommended to pick up your “ top-and-bottom” kit at Carolina Dune Buggies. One person alone can easily complete assembly. The only thing the customer needs to assemble is the side “uprights and diagonals”, as well as the rear cage. The entire floor of the chassis is tack welded together and the upper roll cage comes assembled. Top & Bottom: Our “ top-and-bottom” kits are designed for ease of assembly, but may have a higher shipping cost. This kit is a little more challenging to put together, and you should have an assistant to help with assembly, but it ships flatter for better cost savings. The kit consists of the two chassis side assemblies (arm rails and bottom rails, with all uprights and diagonals) tack welded together, as well as the front floor center section (front and rear crossbars with two center bars), and includes a box containing the rest of the tubes for the upper roll cage and rear cage sections.
Side By Side: Our “ side-by-side” models are offered to provide for the least expensive shipping costs almost anywhere in the world. This is a true build it yourself kit with a little head start done for you. These consist of a tacked floor section, with all other assembly to be done by the customer. Knockdown: Our “ knockdown” kits (2 seat Warrior and 4 seat Cruiser) are by far the least expensive to buy and ship, but they require the most assembly. For all kits, you’ll need access to a welder (preferably MIG or TIG), level, tape measure and a 4 1/2” angle grinder. “DIY” Knockdown and Tacked kits: Berrien offers three styles of tacked “project” kits – the Knock Down, Side By Side and Top & Bottom.
