Them? You buying 2 of them?
Not hard to make them street legal tbh, there’s blinker kits and dot headlights, add a horn and windshield. Don’t even have them yet but already want a 4 seater for the wheelbase haha.

If you will notice in my above post when I picked them up I had a white 900 - I took a hit and traded it for the red 1000 (it was shit). This one had bald tires and one wheel had a hole in it (shit maintenance from the previous owner) and splurged a little and got some fuels.
Laid the 900S on its side, killed the motor cuz I didn't want to flood it. Winched it back upright and broke some plastic rivets but I made a work around and got the fairing fixed good. Rode another 4 hours, these things are tough to say the least. The bottom pic is the after we got it back and cleaned it all up.

So I've been going to barnwell for about 8 years now, and this was probably the most fun I've had. The trails are a little different in a UTV than in a truck / 4R. Since I got these women hooked on wheeling, 2 of them are buying their own and we plan to do Hot Springs late Oct, and another barnwell trip in Nov.
The runner will be fixed as well, whenever the monsoon season decides to end that is.

Reminds me of my buddies dad who had just gotten his F350 and was towing their camper down a narrow back country road. Well on the other side of the road coming towards him was another F350 towing a trailer. Both of them didn't have the option to swerve and they ended up slapping their mirrors against each other. It sucks
Mirror was $1,500
In other news, ordered a low range off road steering rack / kit and an OEM actuator. Should be here in a couple weeks or so. Still have to plan out how I want to do with air compressor and run the lines for the plumbing and all the wiring as well.
Reminds me I have my original steering rack I need to do something with. What is the upgrade/ reason for the Low Range steering rack?
The 2nd time I broke my front diff, the flange snapped at the pinion, spun around and crushed the lines and broke the rack in the process as well. They have an all in one kit that I can drop in and don't have to look for part numbers, just have to swap out the outers (which I already have). It was convenient for me basically.
Debating just selling mine to someone looking to do a full rebuild.
Seeing how an OEM rack is like $700 I'm sure you can get a chunk for it
13-OCT-2018 / day trip to Sabine ATV park
Didn't get many pics this time. Broke something on the 1k - I think crank position sensor, starts and runs for a minute then dies - weird noise coming from belt intake. Gotta strip it down.
In other news the runner should be done this friday for the most part. I still have to mount the compressor, run the electrical and all the plumbing lines which shouldn't take more than a day

Looks like the kind of mud that stains a person's soul (or what is left of it).
Ginger's have no soul to begin with.
It all comes off pretty easy with a 2k psi pressure washer, including the stickers
This is a true statement
