    It happened, I didn't even try to resist

    Well this cute little stray followed me home from my journey today. Got to meet another awesome 6x6er and got to see more beautiful scenery and check one more stop off my bucket list.
    Brought this crusty but surprisingly nice 900 home. If all checks out the wife will have my mini me. If not I got my drums. Win win, I think?

    I hope it works out well for you. The body looks pretty good.

    On another note, the Hustlers are prone to twist the T20 out of its saddle. You may already know this, but you need to add some torque straps to both machines as you build them. Look in the gallery there are lots of examples.

    Congrats on the new machine. post some pics of the inside when you get a chance. I second what dirtdobber said. use every possible spot to tie the t-20 in to the frame. some of mine are here: http://www.6x6world.com/gallery/g817...ild-page2.html

    Thank you guys, I am definitely going to be following you guys footsteps on beefing both up. The 900 may not get done this year but I'm hoping to get the Bigfoot reliable by pa archery season. Since there aren't any surprises I think I can, my max was one thing after another it seemed. Every Time I would change one thing I had to go on down the line and change multiple other things too.

    So after closer inspection this machine is a 960 hk. Serial number FCC-123. I don't know what that all means but it has a Kohler twin 2 stroke.

    It seems pretty solid, my wife really likes it. She wants a 4 stroke swap and to basically build it so it's as close to the big foot asit can be. I'm cool with that. Wer not racers and will mostly be trail riding. After disconnecting the shift cables it goes in neutral and rolls easier. Bearings seem to be okay no slop at least and roll smoothish. The chains are pretty crusty so for now I'm going to blame most of the roughness on that. She wants to keep split shift so I guess I will be hunting good cables. She also wants the laterals centered up, no big deal since already building a set for the Bigfoot. She wants bumpers winch and a hitch also. Which I'm cool with all that and have the Bigfoot parts to copy. Both machines will be getting tube from front to rear to tie the bumpers together. Roll protection for both machines. She also wants me to fab a luggage rack for hers like the the Bigfoot has. And body bands for both. Not sure how I'm tackling the rollover protection yet. I really like some of the factory looking ones in here but also would like to keep the front of the machine open so fishing and hunting is a little bit easier and less obstructions to work around. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there. For now I want to get the Bigfoot back in shape. Pretty excited to get both done though.
