In the past I was involved with 6x6 ATV’s for many years since the early 1990’s having restored an Amphicat, A MAXII and an ATTEX Buffalo Truck, extensively running all three of them for years through all kinds of terrain, hills, lakes, swamps, creeks and snow. Sold the last one somewhere around 12 years ago and promised myself I would get back in to them someday with a MAX IV in mind. In 2012 I was able to get a shop running again and had the funds, space and equipment ready and in 2013 was lucky to find a project vehicle a MAX R.I.M. with tracks that was nearly completely intact, less a motor. My plan was to rebuild the RIM using the new 22HP Predator V-Twin from Harbor Freight Tools. And that's when I joined the forum while researching for info on the RIM and planned to post the progress of the project when I started. The RIM just sat in the shop for nearly a year being too busy to get to it, then unfortunately last fall before I could begin working on the project, I had to close shop due to business problems and move everything out and begin selling things just to survive, including a 76 Corvette I was nearly done restoring. I recently had to also sell the R.I.M. project and sadly watched it roll away on the buyer’s trailer yesterday. I am happy to see it went to someone who will put it to good use as the buyer and his family have a legacy of involvement in MAX IV’s and RIM’s and their restoration and preservation. (I’m not sure but I suspect they most likely are members on here too) I do have hope that someday I will be able to get another 6 wheeler probably a MAX IV. I'll probably check back on here on occasion until that happens but doubt I'll have much to post about until I get into another project. I do have some parts left over that I will be offering for sale and will probably post the offerings here, a MAXII Roll Bar, a complete set of original rubber tracks with tires and rims for a MAX IV, and a T-20 Trans, (also a MAX IV roll cage but I think I have that sold already) I don't see any classified section so not sure where to post for sale items?

I'm glad you were able to pick up a six wheeler and that you are at least half way through your restoration. That should be a fun machine to scoot around in. Post up some photos to the gallery when you get it done. 
) Sorry you had to sell the RIM but I hope you can get back into the hobby soon. If you click on "Forum" at the top of the page, scroll down towards the bottom. There are several classified forums including "Parts for Sale" where you could post the items you have for sale.
