Jakes lift and wheels installed - FINALLY

[SaltLifeCC]

This may beat any record I had for patience. I bought the cart last summer, bought the wheels and tires a month or so after and purchased the lift kit in January. Finally got around to installing it all today. I would say I was waiting on good weather and a good amount of time to converge, and that was sort of the case. However, while warm outside, I hear thunder everywhere and it's spitting rain along with Tornado watches posted. Thank goodness I have my barn to do my work in.

Anyway, here are some pix of the finished product. I may throw on a steering column cover and steering wheel someday but this is pretty much how we pictured it when we bought it.

Man that looks great i have a question for you . Im going to buy one myself and was thinking it would be a little cheaper to buy it with no lift and tires instead of one that was already done up what do you think

If i could not see my cart from here i would be calling the police to report you for theft lol

i bought 2 2006 precedents a few weeks ago and did all the work to both myself.Lift kits,wheels/tires,2in1 seats,and light kits.Ran about 3500 per cart

3500 in each cart , well thats about what im looking at from a freind so i guess its not cheaper to do it yourself

The wheels and lift looks great.

Depends how much you pay for the cart, doesn't it? When I was looking for mine, I saw carts very similar to how mine is now asking $3500 and up. That's basically the going rate online (craigslist) for a late model cart, in good condition, with a rear seat, lift kit, and nice wheels and tires. I've got less than $3000 in mine and have a nice stereo system as well. Just sayin...

Yeh it's cheaper that way. That's how I wanted to do mine but my son wanted it lifted with big tires. I wanted more of a lowrider street look. With the lift and big tires is better for our riding environment here though.
