Washed, waxed, Lubed, Installed EMP bumper.

625 miles and the stock bushings were letting me know they were due to be changed...I put in a set of Super Daves bushings tonight...should be good to go for 2000+ miles now...ball joints and wheel bearings were in real good shape.

Over 1,200 miles on my Super Daves and still good.

I wish super dave would make them for the teryx's. the front upper a- arm bushings suck.

Chopped my top 4 1/2' last night. Still have to finish welding and refabricate my S bars. I also am installing new seat belt brackets to the stock locations so that a child booster seat can be installed with the tethers.

Used the worthless RZR to haul Cadets and tools around during the construction of the Wild Warrior adventure race. I used the winch to help straighten the poles that were part of the rope bridge. I even managed to strap some heavy wooden obstacles to the roof and haul them up into the woods to be erected. For such a crappy machine, I found several uses for it as a utility vehicle.
Oh, then I solicited the wife and kids for help washing it up before tucking it back safely into the garage.

Looks good!! How hard is it to get the tubes to line back up to weld back together? Do you press down and bend the tubing above the windshield, tilt the windshield back, push the back posts forward or a combination of all of them?

It wasn't too hard. I tilted the A pillars back by grinding off the nubs where it bolts together. I also cut and sleeved the two roof bars. With everything cut it was easy to line everything back up. I didn't want to have to weld it while the there was tension somewhere.
I would have finished up tonight but I ran out of mig gas.

Nothing as elaborate as jhoncho's project, I installed a new air filter and checked the oil level in the Teryx,all by myself! I have been taking it to the dealer for all the maintenance up till now... took this old cripple four hours to get it done but it is done right...

I wish you were closer. I would maintain the Rex for ya. All you would need to do is supply me with beer.......... Wait, that would cost you much more then taking it to the dealer....

I appreciate that and whatever the cost it would be well worth it for the company. I'm looking forward to this upcoming ride because of all the new rides that are coming out, and some of them are even Kawasaki's, who woulda thunkit!

p.s. actually, with all of the new Kaw's I'm hoping maybe one of the new Kaw-boy's will teach me how to drive my own finally!

All new wheel bearings in the rzr, got 2300 miles on the original ones and they weren't in too bad a shape. Got some 4 point harnesses ordered for the wife's teryx, designed and made my own bolt on harness anchor points to attach to the roll cage for the shoulder straps.

Fyi...I have rjs 4 point harnesses in my rzr, got them from wesco performance couple years ago and love them. 49.99 a set. Ordered the same for the wife.

Finished welding and painting my cage that I have been working on the last few weeks...

I installed a multi mount winch setup on my Rhino and now I just need to find a way to carry my winch.

ordered some super dave's bushings.
