Project G29, Set up for off-road

[MississippiG29]

This is my 09 Yamaha G29, was looking for a Side by side, but they are way to expensive, so I figured I could locate a gas golfcart and modify it to make worthy of taking in the woods.

Mods:

Heavy Duty Rear Clutch Spring
6" Jakes Spindle Lift
rear 25x11-10 Sedona Mud Rebels
Front 24X8-12 Sedona Mud Rebels
Light Kit
Winch
New Clutches
Drive Belt
2" Receiver hitch
Cargo Hitch carrier
Mud flaps



Had several Drive train issues that I was not aware of when I bought the cart, didn't know very much about the Clutch system, didn't realize when I purchased that both the primary and secondary clutches would have to be replaced as well as the Drive Belt being completely worn out.

So needless to say I replaced the Secondary Clutch, Primary Clutch, Drive Belt, and overall tune up.

For those of you wondering why your cart will not pull, or it seems to really lack on a low gear, may want to consider adding the heavy duty Spring to the secondary clutch and replacing the Drive belt, I can not believe the amount of torque this thing has now.

Thats one mean looking cart. What belt did you use?

[MississippiG29]

Just a OEM Yamaha Drive Belt, picked it up from a local Yamaha golf cart dealer, it was around $47.

NIce car!! Why tens on the back and twelves on front?

Well, I purchased a set of 22x11-10 wheels and tires online, when I got them on the cart and took them out to camp, it didn't take long to realize those all terrain tires were not going to work, So I started looking for atv tires to put on, but the problem was I had wheels already, but I could only find 25" rear tires that would fit 10" wheels, I did not want to put 11" wide mud grips on the front, wanted a narrow tire on front, so the 8" wide tires only came in 12" diameter.

Really considered doing a big block conversion kit, with the Honda V-twin, but it really has all the torque I need now, took my dad to deer camp yesterday after a rain and this thing performed awesome, two 200lb men, this thing pulled going up some very steep grade muddy hills, never spun a tire and never bogged down either.

Isn't it neat what these things can do!

I would imagine the skinnier 8" tires up front were alot easier to turn when steering. These yahama carts turn super easy and smooth anyways.

[MississippiG29]

The sky is the limit with these, just wish that every dang component for them wasn't $100, it adds up pretty quick.

The 8'' wide front tires turn very easy, and I mean this thing turns on a dime, I can assure you a Rhino would not turn like this thing will.

Do you have any more pics of your winch setup? Your cart turned out great. I just bought a 08 yamaha.
