It's all electric. After replacing all the batteries, I can consistantly get about 15-25 miles (depending on the terrain) out of one full charge. I got an aux deep cycle battery in it too for the stereo, which doubles as a caller. Although I haven't tried it out as a caller yet. I gotta make it a little less conspicuous.

That's a good looking rig there. Good on gas too.

Good idea. Where are you gonna put the rifle rack? You could haul a passle of squirrels on that trailer.

The rifle rack right now is on the back side of the roof support. Although it will only hold one. I built that myself and wish it would hold at least 2 or 3. Those hooks are only bolted on, so I can probably extend it more to hold 3.

Well, don't forget a pistol rack in front. You might get attacked by a gaggle of ground squirrels or a covey of coyotes!

It's only 2 wheel drive. But it gets me around all that I need to get around. I'd love to have a Rhino, but $10,000+ compared to the $4500 I have into this golf cart including the cart itself is a no brainer for me.

Does it have much power for climbing hills or anything? All the hills on the golf courses I've played on weren't very steep or I sure would've tried!

I've done a few upgrades to it. It'll darn near pop a wheelie, definately will spin 'em on gravel, etc. I've got it going up to about 20mph. My next upgrade is a little spendy though. I'm going to drop in a high horsepower electric motor and I'll be able to yank stumps with it. 
But I'll lose about 3-5mph top speed.

That is a pretty sweet ride. Needs some camo paint or netting or something. Mount one of the spot lites like the cop cars have so you can shoot.
