Author	Topic: HOw Tough Are They?
deelmakur Prowler Enthusiast From: CT(NYC), Gulf Stream, FL, Seattle (Kat stays in WA) Registered: Mar 2001 Admin Use	posted 06-19-2001 09:11 PM Wondering how much road banging these things can take. I just brought my '99 to Seattle, and the roads are really beat up. Also, lots of concrete. With the old suspension, the thing rides like a tank. It probably feels worse than it is, but I'm wondering just how tough these Kats are, particularly with regard to the front end. Would like to hear from somebody who's been operating in similar circumstances.

Registered: Sep 2000 Admin Use	posted 06-19-2001 09:16 PM I remember a post from a guy that ripped off a control arm mount or something after hitting a pothole. Wonder if this was around the bad weld time. ------------------ Yellow is DCOOLEST

Not a fun time. Ask Larry Lord, he spent an hour with a pocket knife to cut away the mud flap to get the car out. WOW! ------------------

After an hour in the dentist's chair anything will be more fun especially cruising in the cat. ------------------

Wasn't it you the other day who said to someone who wrote about the "Pot Holes" and the Dream Cruise to "stop bashing the city of Detroit". It still has me worried and will need you to suggest the better way of getting to the Hotel from Canada. ------------------ Brian King 2000 Sliver Prowler Rear/Front Flaps K&N Air Filter Weekender Wind Blocker Hitch Chrome Shimmers Modified Front License Bracket
