Nice looking chassis and you know if she's that excited maybe she'll put you on an unlimited budget that would always help things along nicely. One suggestion put in a cup holder her arm will get tired like that.

Lol... thats the one thing she specified! Two cup holders!! I have to hand it to her, she doesn't say much about my off road toys as long as she gets to go.. after all, our first date and first time seeing each other was at rush riding... I think she's a bigger buggy nut than I am!

That's one of the things I wanted.. it sucks hitting your head on the roof with certain seats.. I think its about 2"taller than the cobra and packrat roofs.

Question for the ecotec guru's... what is the normal oil pressure for these engines? Mine is running around 80 psi at idle hot or cold. I bought the buggy as a doner so I don't know much about the engine. I could have swore I saw 50 psi at idle a couple rides ago tho..

Mine idles between 65 and 80 then touch the throttle and it pegs 100 lb guage. At first I thought I had a blockage

I was thinking I had blockage too.. maybe I dont. Guess I could run it until it goes then do a rebuild and a nice air pump to it....:twisted::twisted::twisted:
