    Customizing

    When I did my seat I actually doubled the amount of foam on the bottom. With the old material I was always bottoming out on hard bumps and it would jar my spine. I figured that the double foam would keep that from happening in the future.

    Just keep in mind if you do this, you have to add more fabric for the seat cover. Something else to consider, after I was done and the seat was back in the car, I was sitting up an inch or so higher than before and it felt very unstable. I really thought that I would be redoing everything again with a smaller piece of foam but after about an hour in the new seat it has started to settle back down to the same height as before and I love it now. I can’t wait to get some trail time on it.

    Here is how I doubled up on the foam:



    Finally, since you are replacing your seat anyway you might as well get a little creative. Different colors, designs, or even embroidering the URL of your favorite 6x6 ATV website!



    Now you can hit the trails in comfort and style!

    • Adjusting Chains and Jackshafts on a Max II
      by Mike
      For anyone new to six wheelers, this is a short video showing you how to adjust the chains in a Max II. There are eight chains that need to be adjusted. The chains between the front and middle axles and the chains between the rear and middle axles are tightened using the ratcheting chain adjusters. The ones in the front are adjusted by pushing the adjusters down. The ones in the rear are adjusted by pulling the adjusters up. The remaining four chains are adjusted by moving the jackshafts. ...

    • Repairing a Grooved Axle
      by Planter Bob
      Do you have a grooved axle and a shallow wallet? Well, here's the ticket for solving the problem without burning up the Visa card.

      Repairing a grooved axle on the cheap: 1. Remove the axle. 2. Clamp it firmly in a smooth-jawed vice, with the groove about 6" from the jaws of the vice. 3. Using a wire brush in a 4" grinder, clean all the area in and around the groove, making it free of rust and gunk. Use a flat file gently on any high spots. 4. Use paper towels and wipe down the...

    • Upgrade your Argo Conquest bearings to HDI
      by Rock Doctor
      Well, I finally got this little project started. I think everything is going to work out good, but there is still some testing to do. I ran into a couple little issues, but nothing that can't be dealt with. Sorry about the length of the vids, it was hard to keep the time down on a project like this. I have only uploaded the first part so far, but PT-2 will be edited into this post tomorrow if possible. I have to say here that I'm NOT SURE if this will work with ALL Conquests. I have noted that some ...

    • Bronco Seat for your Six Wheeler
      by racerone3
      i've needed to redo the seats in my wild wolf for as long as i've had it. the seat back was the original and shot, and the bottom was something i had quickly thrown together. last week after months of my son begging me to take him for a ride in my old bronco, i finally got the back seat down from the rafters of my shop and bolted it in. later that night it dawned on me that it would make a pretty good seat for the Wolf. i checked with the place i'd gotten my seat covers form when i built the bronco...

    • Used ATV Buyer's Guide
      by Mike
      General - Purchasing your first six wheeler can be exciting and it is something that many of us remember well; Seeing it for the first time, the test drive, towing it home, taking it for a spin around the yard and realizing how quickly you can tear up the grass. But it can also be an intimidating process especially if you are not purchasing new. For some, a new six wheeler is simply out of the question. Whether it is financial concerns or simply that the six wheeler you are looking for is no...
