Well as yall know, I have been looking for a fourwheeler. I found a 2003 4x4 Yamaha Big Bear 400 and 4x8 trailer on Craigslist at a deal I could not pass up. The ad said it needed carb work, so dad and me went to look at it and I ended up buying it for a SUPER deal! It would idle fine, but it would do when any throttle applied. The trailer is a Very nice little trailer, and the Big Bear looked pretty bad because it had dried mud everywhere and wouldn't run right, the front rack wasn't bolted on, back rack was bent, speedo was busted, and half of the bumper was torn off. So I got back home and we took the carb out and cleaned it really good and turns out the man had the pilot jet and main jet in the wrong holes. Put them in the right places and bam, it has been running like a new one ever since. I took the bumper and front rack off, and dad welded up a new bumper and I started doin the bondo work on it and got it lookin pretty good. Then I used some self etching rustoleum and some rustoleum gloss black and repainted the rack and bumper. Took all the wheels and tires off and did a full cleanup on it and got the plastics back shining, mud stains off the motor and rear diff, bent the rack back, and put a new piece of glass in the speedo. Needless to say, I think it looks pretty good now and runs awesome so far. Amazing what a little time, spray paint, and regular maintenance can do! Next will be some kind of paint scheme on the wheels, snorkel (soon), some 28 or 29.5 outlaws, HMF pipe, K and N, and a clutch kit. Itll be a slow build, but I think Itll be fun! I also am gonna put up a pic of my friends POPO that i painted the wheels on just like the ones on FIG's F250. POPO wheels
Okay So For a little while ive been working on my snorkel. Finally got it finished tonight as far as I know,no leaks I hope but the real test will come when I put it in the water. Also went and bought a set of 28x10.5 Outlaws with good tread. Getting them put on later today. I also ran a dummy snorkel for the vent lines. It wont run right without the tap because it is getting to much air (gotta change jets)
Gettin them put on later today? Do it now!!! You dont need nuttin but a couple screwdrivers and sum soapy water
I want some bead sealer on them thangs! Ill leave it to the pros even tho we do have a manual tire machine lol
