Not too bad, huh.

All I have done so far is give it a good bath. It sat in a warehouse for the last three years.

we chose electric over gas- most everyone where we are has electric, and goes Rhino if they want a gas side by side. the gas cart was kinda rattly and it starts and stops constantly as opposed to an idle like an atv or rhino. The 48v electric with the regen reprogrammed has good performance. Both the gas and electric climbed about the same, so unless you go for days out in the bush without electricity I would go electric

We have battery problems now. I know they are shot. I can charge them up until the charger turns itself off, and that gives us about 25 minutes of running up and down the streets in the neighborhood. So, yea, the batteries need to be replaced.

I am just tinkering with it right now to find out what all is wrong with it, so when I take it apart, I'll know what all needs fixed. I can buy the new batteries then.

Things I want to do with it:

Put a top on it
Put a back seat in
Raise it 6 -8"
Tires and wheels
New Batteries
New steering wheel
New tilt steering column
Front brush guard
Side Nerf bars
Mirror(s)
Seat covers
Paint job (ghost flames)
Rocker panels
Front & rear lights
New dash panel
Fender flares

That will get us a nice start.
