Got back to work on getting the buggy out of my garage. Been busy with other projects. Made some frame mounts for the front bump stops and a pad to go on the truss.

Finally got the buggy out of the garage, it had leaked from the tranny dipstick and cooler lines. I put in o rings in the cooler line case fittings and that fixes it. The dipstick needed a new grommet. Street tested it the next day. The belt for the water pump broke resulting I. It over heating. Picked up some 5 point harnesses. I'll test drive it again once the harnesses are installed and I put on a muffler.

Got some work done. Decided it needed a muffler so I don't go deaf. Found a muffler I liked and a y pipe to equalize the pressure between the heads. I had to go with a single due to the space I had to work with.

I was finally able to take the buggy out for a test run on the trail. It was overheating due to a bad belt. I found some other issues to fix, mostly minor. Replaced the belt.IMG_20200314_203553_201.jpgIMG_20200315_185332_984.jpgFB_IMG_1584323421180.jpgIMG_20200315_185332_996.jpgIMG_20200315_185332_999.jpg
