Bought a lift kit for $79 on ebay and it's now installed



After

Before

Getting there. All you need now is Tires. I am just now starting to research this stuff. .

Any comments as to driving stability?

Here's my flip that I did last September. Me and a few buddies flip this one over pretty good, took us 3 weeks start to finish.

Lift,Tire,Camo Wrap, Back flip seat, alltrax controller with upgraded wires, KC lights hooked up to a deep cycle marine battery, no reverse horn, etc.. etc....top speed 25 mph

Sweet!

Got our flip flop seat stuff today , will have it mounted soon !

Looks great!

very nice!!

Looking good Dan! Lots of nice carts posted up

Picked mine up last year a week before the season from a fellow THFer, love it!



Put a cargo rack on it



Gun rack



A little paint and a cover



Need to get some new batteies, mine are not the strongest, but we haven't been stranded. This year to do list: new tires and rims, upgraded wires, batteries, heavy duty FNR, front end clip, and some lights

Oh, and it works just fine for what we wanted

Nice Job BA

BAJackson - mind PMing me some details on your flip? lift, body armor, etc...

Great pics

That is exactly what I want to do.

Its the best hunting vehicle IMO. I think the upgraded controller and wires is a must though. I have rolled up on several deer last season and they just stared at me and had no clue what I was....I got within 20 yards of a doe and fawn until they just walked away; they still couldn't figure out what I was rolling with no sound!

Seth04, why don't you PM me; I have no clue what your questions are!

Or just ask here so others get the benefit from the answer....

I guess my questions would be:

Where is the best place to buy the flip back seats?

Who makes the front rack / grill guard?

What lifts are the best bang for buck?

I ebayed the flip flop seats and the front rack/grill guard.

I just got one of the cheaper ones. I tried to get a flip flop seat that had the reinforcement arm on the back. (added support when tailgate is down)

I ordered black fabric as well and re-upholstered all the seats myself (it was easy, just ripped off the old and re-stapled the new black seats on)

The front rack/grill guard has alot of options. If I had to do it over again, I would have gotten the one that has the winch mount already built in; that way you can put a hitch with a road feeder in it!

My lift was allsports brand (I think thats right?)
It came as a package, wheels, tires, and lift all included in one price. I ebayed that as well.

If you are serious about a buggy flip go to www.buggiesgonewild.com I searched that site for everything. Those guys on that site actually go WAY OVERKILL on some stuff, but you can get a ton of ideas.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions...

Like I stated earlier, upgrading your controller is a must IMO. I can go up hills , hual 3-4 big guys, and still fly in the cart! I got it up to 25 mph in my neighborhood and had to slam the brakes.

I have the Alltrax 400 controller and upgraded to 4G Wires compared to the smaller 6G that are on it factory.

Go to the this guys website. His handle on the buggies forum is scottyb. He is practically a legend on that forum, extremely nice guy. He can program your controller before he ships it. If you go up hills, etc he can controll it different (power vs. torque vs. etc...)

Here is his website

The front cargo rack is nice also; I'm thinking of adding another cargo rack that faces inward. Theres always a need for an extra place to put a hunting bag.

Another thing that comes in handy is the battery operated dome light (you can see it in the pictures on the inside of the roof).

I plan on getting a roof cargo rack and wiring up 4 red filtered lights on top and two rear KC lights and two side KC lights all ran on seperate switches to my deep cycle 12volt battery. I will look like a spaceship going down my trails!

When I'm hunting hogs I'll switch over to my 4 red lights only!

Cool looking carts, makes me want me one even more.

Do the tires on these carts handle mesquite thorns?

They will with slime in the tires!!

Silent Thunder is now complete with the flip flop seat/bed installed

Does that slime stuff prevent punctures?
