No shutters here Cory. Only on the water, even then it is 50/50.
Sounds like you will have to go water the flowers after all

Yeah, it's a little bent up.
I assume they hit a tree at speed and I have no clue about driver and passenger. I'm sure they felt it though...

Front half of the frame is junk, going to do a complete frame swap. Lower A arm is actually a high clearance arm made by Super ATV.

Liked different than the left side. Right side looked really bent up. Maybe just the angle of the picture. Must have gotten it pretty cheap and have access to cheap used parts

Yrs, it's the angle of the picture. Lower arms are fabricated with a 3" rise to them.they look really bent compared to stock.

The owner of the company I work for bought it, I'm not sure I believe him when he told me what he paid for it.

I work for an aftermarket snowmobile/UTV performance company. Parts are pretty easy to come by when we have ties to Polaris through our race team.

Evening all. Yet again storm track has changed. Might be more impact now. Hard to say still. It's killed a lot of people already, so being safe. Thankfully it won't be strong here and we don't live in a grass hut...

Paid more or less than he should have? Rebuilding it for him?
