No I bought the plastic off of ebay. I have seen the hydro dip done, I don't think I could be slow or still enough to do that. My plastic was old and stress marked and cracked so this was a perfect time to upgrade.

Got a lot of time in the garage this weekend. Wiring all in its place, dash put in, front and rear differentials put in, a arms and half shafts installed. Motor split and new crank and rod put in. I am tired just thinking about all of it!

Waiting on my cylinder from Alba racing so I was just messing around the garage this weekend. Got the brakes bleed and the stereo reinstalled. Ran all of the wires thru the roll cage so it is clean. Also installed some rgb's but I have to order some wire. The controller isn't hooked up yet so just regular colors so far.

I haven't posted here in awhile, mainly because a screw up with ebay and paypal, but parts are coming in now. I have the piston and the new cylinder in and the motor will be together this weekend. I need to make my dash for my gauges and put the new gauges in. Oil pressure, water temp and volt, Wire up an o2 and AFR gauge. Finish wiring on RGB's. Put new wet clutch and new belt on. It will be running this weekend!!!

Damn dude that's crazy. Good work. I'd never be able to talk myself into all that now a days.. It would sit as is till I could just buy a new one, but that's not nearly as cool as what you just did!
BTW... You even put a factory sticker back on the frame?!?

Thanks @DoubleThrust . I just didn't remove the sticker. I masked over it when I painted. It had all of my vital info on there, spark plug, tire pressure, tow rating., etc.
I really enjoyed this project and man can I tell a difference. Had no issue pulling or backing up the boat now.

Great build and nicely done!! We had a custom Rhino that I sold a couple years ago, then went to a Polaris RZR 800S that we sold that early this year, and bought the new 2016 YXZ 1000R Special Edition, love this new dirt toy!!!

@jcyamaharider - AMAZING rebuild!! I haven't tackled anything like that since my college days (when I couldn't afford anything but elbow grease and had to buy old used parts that weren't as broken as mine.... nothing as cool as your rebuild)
That looks great and even better was the help - I have a hard time getting my kid involved in "my" hobbies for much longer than 20 minutes.
From a safety side - may I suggest swapping your gas cans with your helmets. I understand the ease of use however that places highly flammable and toxic fluids rather high, creating a nasty spill if dropped as well as corrosion to your nice collection of helmets if one of the cans were to create a leak.
(just my safety conscious .02)
