The back seat flips over to give storage. Well that wood rotted. I tried to just do a work around to make it work but I ended up having to replace the wood. Thought it would be easy as taking the staples out, making a pattern, drilling some holes and reattaching. And it was….but it wasn’t.

First the other one had so many staples it looked like one touched the other.

Second I got the wood and traced it, but my skill saw wasn’t long enough for my extension so I had to move everything.

Third the bolts that was going into the anchors, that you basically sit on, were too long so I had to cut those.

Then line up the new wood, mark the holes. Drill them out. But when I did it I had it backwards so nothing lined up and I didn’t get the side I wanted. And this was after setting the anchors. So I had to take them out and flip it around.

Then had to staple it on the new plastic wood. Had stainless steel staples. But apparently I bought the cheap ones as they wouldn’t stay together and would come apart and make it so I could only use a couple staples out of each group, jam up, redo, jam up.

Just one thing after another on every step. It was exhausting.

It’s done though.

Battery keeps dying. I had to tow. It up to the top of the hill with the 4 wheeler and engine lift chain.

I’m installing a plug for a trickle charger. It might and prob just needs a new battery.

Had some very light surface rust on the rails and the diamond plate. So I sanded down and painted.


The tires are dry rotting. It needs new ones. I would like a very small lift. A 2” lift. I’m going to have to make my own. Going old school to forum days.


“I used the triangular spring clamp plates and long bolts to clamp the springs to the top of the axle.“

This is the only part I’m confused on.

This is how he explained it.



This is the lift size and tire size I want. Nothing crazy as I’m still on very steep driveway. I would like some more ground clearance, and if not to look elderly.


I want these wheels and tires. They are 350. So with the metal/bolts, and whatever else I need I think I would be 500 bucks.
