Last night got drive gear off installed new one lost a washer and bolt in my shop for about 2 hours that was sitting on a table in front of me. Anyhow since I have it apart here are some modifications I have tried for heat and sound. Hopefully I can get the rear casing of engine back on tomorrow and see if she chooches. Still waiting for A arms though .

That will be a $1200-1500 Honda accessory before long...

Nice.. let us know how well it works!

 

[elkguide]

You certainly met and conquered the challenge!

Well unfortunately it seems that I have done something wrong to the rig, won't run acts like clutch is slipping, dies when putting it in gear, won't shift. Sigh I guess maybe I'll see you guys next year, what I get for pushing the limits.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. That stinks.

I absolutely LOVE these tires. They are the best I've ever run and would grip like crazy. I just wish they weren't so damn expensive!

Well been pretty upset thought I really messed something up but turns out after some thought I turned the selector in the gear motor housing backwards this would place pressure and make the motor unable to switch gears. Today I drove 8 hours to pick up arched A arms because shipping would have taken to long. The rig is sitting around n lift with no tires soon to have some new shoes and legs! I may make it after all

FREAK'N nuts!!! You're just FREAK'N nuts!!!

Now the question is do I risk trying to get ball joints out of stock? Do dealerships have ball joints? Do I go for broke since I drove 8 hrs for arched A arms and didn't think about the ball joints?

Lmao... go for it!

 

[JTW]

Good luck man!! I can't wait to see it!

Good Luck Man you deserve it but most dealers won't have the ball joints one are the same as a 4 wheeler but I can't remember which ones the top or bottom I'm thinking the the top is the same but don't hold me to it I hope you get it all together

 

[moparornocar]

Can't believe I've missed this entire thread. Rig looks great man! What's the top end going to be with the IGR on it? You're gonna need that speed on the ROTC.

 

[pct]

I would guess it should be close to stock keep us up to date I don't know how you are doing all this and getting rest too HaHa

 

[Cuoutdoors]

Looks awesome!! Is it an Arkansas thing to put your shoes on backwards?

I thought maybe we'd all been doing it wrong and there was something you needed to tell us lol

I think you'll be very happy with those tires.
