OK, summer is here and it's full strength riding time. What MODS did everyone do this winter and what do they have planned for the summer?

You forgot to add:

- wheel it to find out other areas of the Kick which can be mod'd for better stability and control

- have fun with my Suki..... ;D

Gotta redo my center console/transmission shift lever and boots.

Rip out all the carpet, and rhino-line it, or whatever.

Finish hanging bells on my roll cage (but that's another story altogether).

Third brake light to the middle of my spare, on the swing-arm carrier.

Fender Flares.

  Well lets see...  ::)

I made a new long lower arms for the rear suspension
I Raised the motor 3 inches
Cut the frame and dropped the front lower control arms 1 1/2 inches
Permanantly flipped the tie rods to the top of the knuckle
AND added a 1 3/4 inch spacer to the front coils
Which turns the 3 inch kit into a 4 inch....BUT all that was really a side effect... to make room for a Prototype center mount Calmini Anvil. ;D The whole front diff is only like 8 to 10 inches wide. WHY? Cause then I can make the Cv shafts 6 inches longer, which decreases the angle on the joints, which means more clearance while increasing strength. It was a lot of work but it was a win win situation with the exception of all the labor time.

I "monster trucked" the front fenders to make room for the 35s.

New rocker skids that are High clearance

New belly plan



  SUMMER PLANS INCLUDE

Building a nonrotating centerlink

Continued pressure testing.  ;)
