    So sorta truck related, just picked up this 2009 Chinese Honda ruckus knockoff 150cc gy6 motor. It’s rough around the edges but runs good plans are to paint match truck an add a light bar an some AT tires. It may be my saving grace some day on a solo adventure if I am to break down or get in a position where self recovery is not viable. Needs a name suggestions?

    I’ve got those gtek door sill guards and they have been great. Once you put them on, you forget they are there but I am thanksful since like Robert said, will protect for a long time

    I was lucky and @ChadsPride was close to help/motivate on many of my projects. They don’t take long. Just be sure to thoroughly clean the surface so you get good adhesion

    Id be doing the same! Ive seen some of those modded out to look ridiculously sweet. The fat ATV tire look is nice! Almost bought a ruckus from a buddy who left town but i refrained. One day though, id love some motorized 2 wheel toys

    I'd love to have a real ruckus can't justify the price plus this motor is 3x it's size. Next payday ordering the tires.

    So true and me too! My clutch master is leaking inside the cab of the turtle right now, which isnt ideal timing, so im hoping it holds together until i can get the red one fixed.. never dreamed id be having issues with both at the same time
