So it begins...

And to this...

I will detail out exactly what's going into this later but here is the shortlist:

- A arm lift kit with 22" tires

- 48v battery meter

- Front carry all tray

- 3 leaf heavy duty leaf springs

- Rear tow hitch

- Under seat storage tray

- Tool racks for roof vertical supports

More to come tomorrow night!!!

I'm not a big music guy -- more into talk radio. I have a portable Bluetooth speaker I can throw on there for the time being. 

Ok, everything installed but the hitch, which needs some of the plastic bumper cut to fit. The golf cart rides high and pretty stiff with the HD springs. Maybe I'll go back to the original springs, we'll see. I can't get over how high it is -- definitely like a completely different machine. 

Here is when things got better...

 

And as she sits now. 

I have some alignment stuff to work through and then I should be done!

Is the offset on the new wheels different? Seems like they're sitting out a little further from the frame. Looks sweet.

 

Edit - Are they the same wheels just painted?

looks great pork! i like the lift you got ..what size was that.  I like the little 3" lift i see on catalogs/online. 

 

I really dig that front cage/rack you put on there...where did you find that?  I have noticed that with the windows out i can hold stuff on the front a bit but having a whole rack that you got would be awesome.  Ahh but no money currently.  I want to put this in my cart folder so when i get extra money .

 

KVR: This is the kit i found for solar panels that seems pretty good? Im not sure the brand of the panels that would be nice to find out.

That will be my first add on...trying to get off the grid..tired of electric bills ....a rolling power generator.

 

Great job pork..you did it so quickly too! 

What do you think of the upgrades now that you used it a bit.  Did the bigger tires effect gearing that much?
