Frame is from 2001 DS . I have gone over everything from scratch from wheel bearings to the water in batteries. I have three other carts that I have been robbing parts from.

Here our the plans . Welding rear diff, altrax 500, d and d motor ES -85 sent it to plumb quick for rework. Already have jakes a-arm running 25 in mudlights ( tape measure says 24). Got in Scott b f/ r contactor, 2 ga wire. New plastic from donor cart. My friend owns a sign shop so he is gonna hook up a color scheme ( olive drab with with stars on each side and one on front. New black seat covers (black) I want to give it a military touch since I'm a Iraq veteran.

Will post pics as it advances. Russ

fYI I found a place who can take a factory Curtis 225 amp controller and add more mosfets to make a 400 amp for well under I think he said $160 maybe less.

That would be really nice. I like the color scheme for your cart. It's what I'm planning for my G2 once it's ready for paint.

Instead of painting I decided to go with the laminate, one it gonna be free minus a a case of beer. Two the material they use are super strong and scratch resistant. If it turns I don't like it, pull old heat gun and peal it off.

Might want to beef up and check all the welds why you have it apart,,

Got the spiders welded up and the rear frame fixed. I put the rear axel back to gether and installed it. The brake line gave me hell. Tomorrow I will Edith's work on body or install the motor and batteries. I also got intstall Scotty forward revers thing button contraption. One of the parts carts I got has a kick *** front bumper. I planned to sand it and paint image.jpg
