Default Hey ya'll!

My name is Josh. I picked up a Yerf-Dog 3206 last fall for my son. It had bent spindles from hitting a tree and had not been started in quite a while. Got it for $200, took it home and with a little work got it running. I then proceeded to straighten out the stock spindles.

We ran it like that for a while then I picked up some tires & wheels from a 2000 Honda TRX300 2wd for free. The rears are 25x12-9 Carlisle Turf Busters and the fronts are 23x8-11 Mud Hooks. The rears went right on and I ordered some spindles for the fronts which I redrilled for the correct bolt pattern.

I have lots of plans for this thing but my next step is changing out the sprocket for a 45T to get some gearing back. I would rather have low end grunt than high speed since we plan on using it for trail riding in the woods where I take my Jeep. Also on the list are the heim joint A-arm mod and new beefier spindles that I'll make myself along with 5 point harnesses and eventually front brakes.

After I got it running and the spindles fixed. Looks kinda funny with those huge tires on back and tiny ones on front. LOL
