Default Is a G1 gonna cut it off road?

I just got my old G1 running and it has great power but I was wondering, with a 4 inch lift, and 20 inch tires, would the G1 be good offroad? I don't wanna get stuck in the woods, this thing weighs a ton!

Yes! Take a look around the site, there are a bunch of G1's running in all sorts of conditions.
That little 2 smoker, (if running correctly) has plenty of power to turn those 20's

You guys are probably right lol. The G1 I have I got for $250. It was sitting outside for 10 years. I put a good amount of work into it but it runs great and has plenty of power!

Anyone have any reccomendations on paint brands to use and where I could get some decent seats for a good price?

As far as seats, look at boat seats. Lots of different styles, colors and sizes.

True. I would mainly ride it in my neighborhood and at my friends house, he has some trails that are a little less challenging. The only trails I have are 5 acres of swamp land. Great with my Kawasaki Bayou but not so much for a golf cart ;)
