While these chassis CAN be shipped, it is recommended that if you intend to buy a “top-and-bottom” kit, you intend to pick it up at our facility or at one of our many dealerships.īerrien also offers fully welded chassis. 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 tacked together, as well as the upper roll cage is assembled. Top & Bottom: Our “top-and-bottom” kits are designed for more ease of assembly, but may have a higher shipping cost. These can be a bit more challenging to put together, and will most likely require an assistant to assemble, but ship flatter for better cost.
They consist of the two side assemblies of the chassis (arm rails and bottom rails, with all uprights and diagonals) that are tacked together, as well as the front floor center section (front and rear crossbars with two center bars), and a box with all the rest of the tubes for the upper roll cage and rear cage sections. Side By Side: Our “side-by-side” models are offered for best shipping costs almost anywhere in the world. 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 most economical to buy and ship, but require the most assembly. For all kits, you'll need a welder (preferably MIG or TIG), a level, tape measure, and a 4 1/2” angle grinder. “DIY” Knockdown and Tacked kits: Berrien offers three styles of tacked “project” kits. And we can supply chassis, suspension components, transmissions, engines, and all the little odds and ends.
