2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
Finally got the deal I wanted on a cart to modify for use at the lake house. 2013 fleet model, just a few marks on the body, $2850+tax. Will probably end up painting it after all the mods are done. By the time its done, it will be typical of a lot of other builds, but still looking forward to the project over the winter.
Mod plan right now: Street Legal it - Called the police to find out exactly whats needed, done. Just need a mirror and windshield over the amazon street legal kit. RecPro Street Legal Kit from amazon ordered. $164 Back seat kit - Not sure yet 6" lift - Would love opinions between the A-Arm and Long Travel. Are the LTs worth the extra $200? 14" wheels w 22/23" tires - Liking the Voodoo 14" with 23x10s Front hitch receiver, cooler/fishing pole mount - I read the LT Jakes lift had a front hitch, but can't confirm that. New seats/re-upholstered Replace dash with stereo/speakers locations, bazooka tube under rear seats Black 80" roof LED lights under roof and body High Speed Gears - Probably not with hitting 16 on a zip tied governor. With the bigger wheels, 20-22 should be plenty. Here is the start: |

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
Ok, so i installed the lights/signals/horn kit this weekend. All went relatively good, except, when I put the parking brake on, the brake lights stay on, even when the key is turned to off. Any idea how to fix that?
Also - where can you get factory OEM bodies? Rather than pay to paint, I think I'd rather have a new body with a factory color. |

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
Does the Jakes long travel lift kit include a 2" receiver on the front for the G29? In the kit pictures for the G22, I can see the receiver, but for the G29, i don't see it. However, the product description says it does. Want to make sure before I order it.

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
I don't know about the bodies, but I have seen on here before that most brake lights stay on for around 30 seconds and then go off. You might want to try that and see what happens.

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
I called Jakes, the latest long travel kit DOES NOT have a front receiver, so my next question is how do I add one? Have it fabricated and bolt to the frame? The tongue weight would be the frame plus a fully stocked cooler. Maybe 125 LBs or less.
Good call on the parking lights, they do turn off after 30 seconds. |

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
You can get factory OEM bodies from any authorized Yamaha dealer. You can even order from a Yamaha non-golf cart selling dealer if they agree to it. They can order from their standard Yamaha parts accessories.

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
What would be an expected cost to get a body painted? Mine has minor issues, and would need to filled and sanded in a few spots, nothing major. Im looking at doing a single metallic color. Going to a body shop on Monday and was wondering what to expect. $300 seems to be what I would think.

Re: 2013 Yamaha Drive Build Project
Hey Nick,
I'm located in Westerville. I've been looking around for a decent newer Yamaha, but haven't come close to that price. Where did you find it? Steve |
