Bought a 1998 G16

Lazy cruiser · 05-20-2016, 08:46 AM

So I sold the old electric cart and bought a 1998 G16. It is a stock cart. What do you recommend the first thing is that I do? I'm going to have to paint the thing because the green is nasty. HAHA

im in same situation installing the Jakes 7" double A arm lift and a set of 23" tires at the moment body is getting Tinted spray on bedliner. since it is scratched up. I have some undercoat left from a trailer so I will coat the problem areas under the kick rails to prevent further rust.

After finishing all of this it will be torque spring, rear seat then build a cage to replace factory top and HD rear springs

I would Change the oil and rear end oil. New gas filter and plug. I checked air filter. All I have left to do on mine is to change rear end oil. I also Grease the drives. I also had to put a new battery in it because it was dead it runs a lot better now. Ps nice looking ride

Oil looks good. Probably need to do the rear end oil and air filter. Good idea.

Thank you

Also I would do a Plowsmans upgrade. I did one on mine g29 best money spent

That's a really nice looking cart for a 99. I just ordered a plowmans kit today for my Drive.
A 3 inch lift handles better than a 6. Food for thought. If you are going to make it go fast...

Wheels, tires, lift, go fast kit, paint, rear seat, new seat covers in a cool color to match new paint, oh my.
