We made it to the woods this weekend. ATV did well! I Do need to come up with a battery tie down.

Got the lights on and wired up to a dual switch. Not super happy with the way it turned out but not a ton of hiding places either. It'll work!

Thank you! Been a fun project! Gotta re cover the seat and I think I might paint the brush guard and racks back black. I also have some pod lights i need to install too. Those will be tricky. I want them to be functional but don't wanna see em. Tires do look great. I hope they perform as well as they look 😂😂

We are back in action! Super happy with it!

Lil sneak peek. Should be put back together today

Thank you! We tried to match as close as we could to factory with a lil added extra 🙃 I cant wait to see it in the sun

Alright fingers crossed no dumb sh** happens tonight! Got everything slicked up with 3 coats! Hopefully I can assemble this weekend! Exciting!

😂😂

Looks like I'm gonna need a round 3... I can't win with this thing! Got the 1st coat done getting ready to do 2nd, the power company shuts the power off in our area for maintenance! Power was off for 3 hours. 🤦🤦 Now, gotta wet sand and try again. If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any.

The stage is set for round 2...tomorrow!

Awesome! I find myself buying brake clean by the case. Always finding a carb that needs cleaned lol

Alright...Exhaust is almost finished up. I ran out of exhaust wrap apparently 16 foot isn't enough lol got most of it done though!

In my opinion, fix it up its much more fun that way! Plus, these quads are super easy to work on. Parts are cheap too...well, mostly. I'm building a Big Bear 250, I have a build thread on it. The bruin and big bears are basically the same machine!

No worries! Just a lil more work. Most paint today can handle decent flex. However, to be safe I sprayed adhesion promoter to ensure the paint won't flake with the flex. Same as everything with this ATV, I don't mind learning! I Do like the way the tires look. I picked em up for just under $300 plus $60 to get them put on. I did throw em on to move the ATV around. Lol Haha, that's next on my to-do list...paint my house! Should be a good time 😂😂

Well, we used the wrong type of hardener on the paint, long story short the paint won't ever dry. Gonna have to strip it and go again. Trying to keep costs down so I'm using products I don't normally use and mistakes are being made. Funny thing, now it's costing me more...😂😂 oh well, live and learn. Tires definitely look good! They are like a maxxis bighorn knock off....time will tell if they hold up and perform well.
