Kemosabe's Little bitty life build thread

Dang thats not cool! Hope it goes well

i don't see links on mobile but I remember I saw in your thread that you bought a 2nd gen 4door! I'll check this out!

 

Spent a few hours in the garage tonight working in the 4wheeler. My Can Am is a real 2 passengers, which means that it is like a Tacoma DCLB. The frame is extended. Outlanders are known to have a problem on the frame extension. 2 bolts are becoming loose with time, and if you don't notice it, damages can occur when transporting a passenger and stuff. 3 of my friends broke their bolts and rode with a slack frame lol they did abused "a little" to get there. My father noticed his was loose just in time and didn't had damages. On the last trip, my friends and I noticed mine was becoming loose too. So today I stripped the rear end. Took off the cargo box, rear bumper, rear fender rack, and rear plastic fenders to see what is going on.

I am lucky there is no damages to the frame, only the 2 loose bolts. I took them off, applied blue lock tite and put them back in with the impact and my small extension lol I didn't put the parts back on the 4wheeler yet since I may want to redo the wiring of the heated grips and reverse ligthts. I may use it on the 10th of February, so still a month to put it all back together. No rush haha

 

I bet those heated grips are mighty nice!

 

I like DCLBs

 

They are a must around here! I also have the heated grips for the passenger on the cargo box lol have to say it draws a lot of power tho! Last ride I had the light bar on, high beams, heated grips and my "dust light" on and the dash told me low battery lol

Dont get me wrong! I love them too!

 

For mornings like today (-22*C/-8*F), the engine block heater is an awesome upgrade! Truck fired up like in summer!

 

I love me some ATV also .....

 

Do you have anything on the battery to keep it warm?

 

Nothing, and cranks like new! But I have to say I changed it last spring, but still, the last few weeks were cold af and no harm to the battery seem to have occured. Imo a warm engine is way better than a warm battery for a cold start.

 

ive been pretty impressed with the taco this winter myself, I don't drive it every day and most the time it sits for a good 3-4 days in the cold and starts no problem. my work vans cant sit more then 2 days without needing a boost lol but they are fords so that explains that lol

 

My F150 I had while I lived in Sault Sainte Marie did not do well in the cold either ha ha

 

@Kemosabe !!!!

 

Good night Jaime!

 

I thought this was funny

 

Yea makes me laugh lol!
