Vikes79 longship rebuild thread

[Vikes79]

So I’ve been kicking around the idea of a talon x4 for a bit.

Finally pulled the trigger on a rebuilder. Found one that was laid on its side that appears to be workable. Odometer shows less than 900 miles and it’s a 2020. Wanted something a bit newer but it was hard to pass on the price.

Not my first rebuilder ( mostly cars and trucks) but my first rebuilder toy.

Should be a good project for my side business to make parts for etc.

Hopefully I’ll see it in a week or so to see what is really going on with it.

What's your plan? Back to stock or aftermarket cage?

 

[Backwoods]

Have you figured out what it’s gonna need yet. Hopefully not a great deal of stuff

Not sure yet.

Gotta see how beat up the stock cage is first.

Get the plastics off, get the tape measure and tramgauge out and see how outta square it is first.

I’m sure there are some sections that will need attention there always is.

Likely I’ll just make it a stock machine again. Keep it simple in case I decide to flip it later on.

Nice score, that is perfect for fabrication specials!

It sounds okay running and moving…but won’t know for sure until it’s delivered in a few weeks.

I’ll strip it down and make some assessments when it gets here.

Unfortunately it’s a bit further away than I want to drive in one day with the truck and trailer so I’m having it delivered instead

Yes especially for the flat not roundy stuff 🤣

I’ll flip it on its other side…that will even out the damage for sure….
