Full Custom 4x4
I started collecting my parts for this build right around the time that nunya started his, I've had the idea of building a 4x4 golf cart for awhile and finally decided to make it happen. This is my first attempt at a four link suspension but I'm really happy with the direction that my project is heading. It started with purchasing a 1988 Suzuki Samurai and then a 2002 Yamaha Big Bear 400. I collected the parts i needed and then sold the rest. Then Picking up a busted up club car from a local custom golf cart shop for $50 plus an extra body for another $20. I was on my way.

Re: Full Custom 4x4
so far it looks good, the only thing that worries me is the angle/placement of your ram. from what im tracking, it should be as parallel as u can get it with your tie rod.

Re: Full Custom 4x4
I wanted it parrallel, but i wanted a nice strong base. With the travel I have from the ram it actually turns really easily. It actually hits lock out before the ram is fully extended.

Re: Full Custom 4x4
No I'm just going to make drive shafts that go from the output shafts of the Yamaha motor directly to the axles.
