Interesting paint colors . I am "Marveling" at your superman theme lol

it was a joke...

LOL!!!

I think it's time for another "pupdate " lol.

Man I am full of them today !

It needs twins out the back, but cut out halfway and then divert to the side under the floor boards.

Pupdate, we go in and get the drain tube taken out of his leg today. It appears to be healing. We will get vet's words later today.

I was actually thinking like I did on Red but both sides or out the back. Not decided yet.

I like exhausts that dump out the sides underneath the floor boards a lot. It's a great popular look.

yeah it seems like it's either a stack or that. I like it on my lt4000 like that for sure.

Ugh.... Stack is awesome on my garden tractor... not my mud or trail tractors.

Here is what I have on Red...


I will say I am still leaning towards 2 straight pipes out the back.

how bout a FOUR PIPE EXHAUST OUT THE BACK WITH OPEN HEADERS!!!  That might make me vote for this!

Oh man you couldn't showcase the suspension movement while you were at it.

Don't have any video at this time of suspension movement, but I did slap the jack under the front and lifted until I started to lift another tire.  With just the frame and engine, I got the tire lifted 7 inches.  I feel I could possibly hit 9 with the rest of the body and my big rear on the tractor.  Maybe 10.




Sorry for the blurry pic.

Nice Mighty! Yeah I bet it'd be better with some weight on the rear. You should un-bolt the coilovers and see how much articulation the 1-link alone has. That'd be cool to look at, haha.

Oh man.  I know when I had it standing up it twisted quite a bit.

Pupdate:

Dog update, drain tube is out.  The second round of stitches at the top and bottom took, that were not ripped out.  So now the 10" incision is about 6 inches of mess.  That part was not able to be drew back together as before, so we are on the long heal.  He has some stitches there from round 3 that are just keeping it from getting wider.  Is is healing from the inside out.  The wound is not as deep, but still pretty large.  About 6 inches tall and about 3.5 inches wide.

Sounds like the dog is going to heal slow but at least he's healing.

I tried looking through your thread but I couldn't find where you got your shocks. Seems like they're working well and not too stiff because the axle is moving with the weight of the just the motor over it.

Suspension is looking good. Decent amount of flex there. Sorry to hear about the dog but at least he's healing now  

I got the shocks off a 110 Chinese atv.

Decided to use a 1/2 rod instead on my steering. I should be able to bend it fine. Just so long as it's not 3/8's. Got several nuts and bolts today. Just need some paint.

Got my Nilights for the build today.  Pretty stoked!  $10 with the Sprocket's Garage Facebook discount!  If you have not joined there.  It's a great place!

Thanks @Doc Sprocket!

Great deal!

Nice lights! Bet they're pretty bright too

Looks clean! Just like the rest of the build!

Did the lights come with a wiring harness?

nice lights, but they wo'nt fit to the stock light cutouts

That isn't the plan.  

They came with about a foot of wire off the light and mounting brackets and screws.

Wow 10 dollars for those is a great deal! I saw some 13 inch light bars at TSC (roughly the size I want) and they are 80 bucks! I thought holy......that ain’t gonna work

I bet you're planning on filling in the factory headlights, building a custom bumper and mounting those LED lights on it.

Lights look sweet! I should really get myself some of those nilight LEDs sometime, supposedly they're really good.

do they have free shipping to Canada?

I am still going to put lights in the original location too.

I have a 7 inch on the hood of my mower.  It's awesome.  If it wasn't for neighbors, I could mow anytime day or night with that thing.

I do not think so.
