my 4x4 two cylinder turbo'd cart build

[mudduck7.3]

pretty much just for testing , i pulled that setup off a lawn tractor all the bends in it were like that already . but like you said its a low speed vehicle and should be ok if it works.

i picked up the other two shocks from a motorcycle that im puttin in the rear finally ill post some pics after i put that in tonight. otherwise ive been workin on groovin the tires and puttin some d-rings on the axles . heres a couple pics

tires before grooving

during

after

d-rings

couple pics of the water i have to go through to get to my shop to work on the turd, keep in mind those are 38.5 swampers on that rig

My brothers was truck is set to 180hp, 400ftlbs torque... Cummins though, its great, goin down the road engulfing things in black smoke...

Anyways... video should be fun!

i got a stack on my idi and with the pump cranked it rolls a lot of coal , i like to smoke out cops with it , got pulled over a couple weeks ago for doin just that but he couldn't give me any tickets for doin it

 

[mudduck7.3]

it may be a stupid question but what are the d rings for

 

[loud pipes]

Hey man. wanted to say that is on tough machine. That is about what I wanted to do to my golfcart. It now sports a Honda Cb 350 and 25 in tires.....but I really wanted to do a solid axle deal like you did. here is a picture of my rig...Again nice job.

this is one kick-*** build. Fowler those D rings are probably for towing/getting towed.

aint u sopose to tow from the chassis

Yes, but if those tyre are bogged down in a foot of mud, if you where to pull from the chassis you would probably bend those shocks and rip the chassis of the diff, lol.

i guess

iv only driven on the geach so iv never had a chance to be pulled out

if u cant get your self out your buggered

thanks ! that is one sweet lookin golf cart by the way , i could have all kinds of fun with that on the golf course! have you ever seen the golf cart on the trucks gone wild video's? it is sas'd with rear steer and some 44's , very cool

thanks ! right your are about the d-rings. i put them on the axles because they are a much more solid tow point than the frame in this application, i will still strengthen the frame and put bumpers on it so i can hit stuff but i will probly be pulling stuff out from the d -rings on the axle most times.

maybe if it was pullin really hard it might bend a shock but pull the frame away from the diff's is very unlikely . the link joints on this rig are 3/4" chromoly heims , each heim joint is rated for 28,000 lbs of static pull. there is 6 of them on the front axle and 6 of them on the rear axle

4,000 lb winches front and rear will do the trick

 

[loud pipes]

Thank you. For some reason this is a on going project that will more then likely become like what you have made. I was going to go from scratch and build a 2x3 frame and maybe go with a small 4banger.....here is some pictures I found on ebay one day and thought this is what I wanted to go for......
this guy has 35in boggers and a stick shift in a Rino....sweet..

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Woah! Wonder what his driveline consists of. Asian for sure, maybe Suzuki or even Toyota. That's very nice...

 

[mudduck7.3]

only thing i see wrong with it is the shocks are at such an angle that it probly rides and flexes like a brick. very cool looking though. looks like sammi axles to me

what do u tie a winch to on a beach?


now thats a sick golf kart

You dig a hole and put your spare tire or drift log in the hole.

what do u tie a winch to on a beach?

Meet the "Pull Pal". Designed specifically for winching with no anchor point. Buries itself in the terrain, digging downwards under the winch's tension until it anchors.

most sand compacts after u push soo much up but the shelly gritty beach sand has no commpresiotion point so u will just keep going down till u hit bed rock


the best device to have is a bip peice of lino

it dosnt realy matter though as the beach we go to is super fine and u can ride a bike on it at low tide
