Luckily, I'm not broke, just my truck is.

 

Anyone on here own any quads or maybe owned some previously? I'm looking at getting into one and looking for some insight.

 

Went for a ride out to sheep bridge today. Got back a little bit ago. Real good trip. Neat place. Had fun.
Learned a lesson.
What is that lesson you ask?
NEVER listen to Brian.
Brian said you could make it out there in a car. The only car I saw out there was a Subaru. Not exactly a car like I think of a car. When I think car, I think of my work car. 2003 Buick Century. NO WAY would I ever try to make it out there in that.

 

I would just spray some PB blaster or liquid wrench on it and let it penetrate over night. Probably won't need heat if he does that.

 

I've had a couple of sport quads over the years. YFZ450 and Raptor 700

 

I'm in Tucson. Busy building a shop in my carport tomorrow but I may be able to help out a bit depending on time. I've atleast got a grinder. Lol. Got map gas and acetylene torches too.

@02YotaGuy what time you gonna get back at tomorrow and which part of town are you in?

What do you think about this deal? I only have experience with a grizzly from years ago.

 

I wouldn't pay over 2k for it even its extremely clean. I'll also say I'm not a fan of sportier 450s unless your purely riding the dunes or track. I loved my 450 in Glamis but it was horrendous on trails/washes due to the stiffer suspension, low ground clearance and higher reving short stroke. My raptor was amazing everywhere I road it and had torque for days. With that said I'd look for deals on the older 660 raptors or maybe a bombardier ds650 but it all depends where and how your gonna ride.
Sorry to wander but not a bad deal

 

50/50 mixture of acetone and transmission fluid in a small dispenser (I use a harbor freight plastic squeeze bottle). Pour some on it and hammer away

 

best penetrating mix there is

just cannot use heat afterwards. Vatozone might have a ball joint press for free loans

 

Thanks for the advice man. It will be mainly for the dunes but maybe an occasional trail run. I will look into the ones you mentioned.

 

Did you get my text about my night

 

You won't hate it for the occasional desert ride but that is why I sold my 450. Good luck dude!

 

Just got it. That Blows man. I was down town until about an hour ago.

 

Gotta wait for the reschedule dates.

 

I got one. Industrial strength. Leave it running for 30 mins with the windows rolled up for 20 mins and then with the vents running with recirc enabled for 10 for a total of 30 mins and then air out.

It will leave a leave an ozone smell until it is fully aired out

I'm headed back to NC in the morning but return on Friday afternoon if you want to borrow it.

 

@RPS1030 I have the ionizer. You want to use it?

 

Started getting back into digital illustration, just busted this out in the last 30 minutes. Not bad, I'm a little rusty still...

 

I'll probably get started as soon as I wake up, which may not be until 10 or 11. This one nut is the only thing holding me up, I would have been done in a few hours if it had gone smoothly. The old strut assembly is out, sway bar is deleted and the 5100/887 combo is ready to go on.

 

Camber is off
