Did a little work on my cart

Olman · 07-14-2014, 03:30 PM

When I got my cart from the dealer, they put a flip seat on the back. The flip seat they put on is mounted after eliminating the rear bumper. This left big gaps at the fenders and left parts of the frame showing. Didn't like that so----. I wanted my bumper back! I went to work refabbing the bumper so that the foot plate would fit into it and still mount to the frame. It took me a long time but I think I got what I wanted. Also put a Gorilla mat in. Didn't like the way the mat moved around so I pinned it down using the two outside floor rivets next to the body.

Here are some pics if you guys are interested. The first pic is the rear seat as originally mounted. I think it looks better. What do you guys think?

I bet that was alot of work, but you did a great job

Never did like the seat kits that iliminated the bumper.

It was a crapload of work to try and get it right. In the pic it looks like the footboard is tilted but it's dead level. Why would any company make a seat setup like that?

Thanks for the compliments fellas.

Looks good you are right about tires they look bigger then they are.

I think it's the way the Drive fenders are shaped. You don't have to run big tires to have it look decent.

Very nice. Gives it a much cleaner look.

I think I will go the same way. If I don't like it I can change tires and lift.

I haven't seen one but CGtech said 215-50-12 tires work on a Drive with no lift. That tire is a hair over 20 inches. As I said, I like the way it performs with the 215-40-12s
