Set A Precedent

dews · 07-27-2010, 10:18 AM

Hey All-
I thought this might be a good time to post my build as i have made some significant progress. I bought my 06 CC Precedent about 3 weeks ago with the full intention of making it a cruiser. I knew I wanted it to be on air and I was hoping it was similar to the EZ Go's but found out quickly that it wasn't. I initially wanted to go the air shock route but couldn't find any that would work the way I wanted.

Now I know why there are a lot more dropped EZ Go's out there compared to Precedent's...

Anyway, Here are some pics of where I am at right now. I plan on having this thing (done for the most part) by the end of next week.

questions and comments are always welcome.

Thank you, come again...

Thanks Offtwice! It has been a bit challenging but i'm happy with the result so far.

Tonight I trimmed the rear fenders so it can drop all the way back there. When it's all the way down the frame is 3 inches off the ground when you measure from the bottom of the front rear leaf mount. I am going to need to do some trimming on the front fenders also. The rear has a ton of lift because I used a sleeve type of airbag. the front are slam bags.

Also, this cart had a cracked passenger side cup holder and I started to fix that with some Duramix 40/40...wish i didn't have to do that but oh well...i might just order a new one if this doesn't turn out like I want...

Dews,

Those cup holders are cheap to replace, don't waste your time repairing.

The back fenders look great trimmed! I am gonna copy you on that idea!!! The fronts of mine are resting on the tires, so I am interested in how much you cut off yours. I was struggling with cutting vs. getting a custom made.

Thanks OT. I took about 1 1/8 inches off of the back fenders, I might take a bit more off because they are sitting right on the tires now. I'm going to wait and see how it looks when I get the body back on though. I will be trimming the fronts either tonight or tomorrow. I'm not going to need to take very much off the fronts maybe only 1/2 inch.

Some of the other things to look for in the next few days are:

Air gauge and switches
2 digital volt meters. (1 for cart batteries, 1 for accessory 12v battery)
Headlights and LED tail lights
Steering wheel and column sleeve
Key switch replacement
Seat Upholstery
LED Lights

Further out...
Chopped top (going to do a rag top instead of the factory)
Dash Cover with locking door
Audio System
Rear Seat
more...

SWEET

Funny how similar our builds are. Although, I have decided not to do air suspension, just going to continue with the drop and keep it low.

I am still waiting on parts for the rear disk brakes, then hopefully I can make progress a bit faster.

Your project looks great man.
