Dune buggies are recreational vehicles excellent for navigating beaches, sand dunes and dirt roads. What makes them popular among car hobbyists and buggy owners is that they are largely personalized and customized vehicles, which means the hobbyist has a lot of room to improve, modify and enhance the performance and design of the buggy. This is accomplished by looking for the best dune buggy parts.

The dune buggy parts an owner or hobbyist usually looks for first are basic components of the dune buggy body. Once these basic dune buggy parts are acquired, the buggy can be further enhanced by installing various accessories.

Since the dune buggy frame gives the vehicle its shape and form, many buggy owners prioritize sturdy and stylish frames. These dune buggy parts are made by forming and shaping steel tubings that are later welded together to create the shape and layout of a dune buggy. These dune buggy parts are usually available for 2-seater dune buggies, but there are also frames that have a 4-seater capacity.

The engines are the powerhouses of every dune buggy, therefore they require care and maintenance to ensure the buggies run smoothly and properly. These dune buggy parts are usually included in a kit for assembly, and the sizes vary according to the strength, performance and suspension required from the buggy. Small and light buggies usually have 50cc engines, while professional buggies have 7 liter variations and above. Maintenance of these dune buggy parts may require upgraded or replacement of engine parts such as cases and hardware, clutch discs, gears and bearings, oil pumps, valves, generators or alternators and other accessories.

Dune buggies have wide tires and big wheels. Although these dune buggy parts are usually included in a buggy kit, many drivers and hobbyists prefer buying wheels and tires of their own choice. This is a chance for them to install the dune buggy parts that would best suit the overall design. Dune buggy wheels are usually available in aluminum, chrome and white steel, and are commonly classified into 4-bolt, 5-bolt and spindle mount. The tires of a dune buggy are usually sand or all-terrain varieties for better traction on sand and other terrain.

A dune buggy body is usually made of fiberglass, and this type of body is often what gives the buggy a stylish feel. The fiberglass dune buggy body is usually included in a buggy kit, and are available in various designs and colors. Meyers Manx, created by Bruce Meyer, has some of the trendiest fiberglass dune buggy bodies in their kits today.

Buggy owners often shop around for their dune buggy parts to save on the costs and personalize their dune buggies. By choosing and purchasing dune buggy parts and accessories, buggy owners and drivers can come up with their own designs without having to allot too much money on their hobby.
