Ok guys I put the windshield motor and wiper on today ,,this turned out to be a fare little job .The first thing I did was set out to find the wiper and motor ,,,and I found it at a junk yard ,,the motor ,the wiper ,the wiper arm,,, all for $5.00 wow what a deal ..The parts came of a 1985 Honda Civic Hatchback and the wiper motor has about 120 to 130 degree swipe thats not bad .By the time a put a switch on it and bought some wire and some bolts and a new wiper blade the old one was a little dry rotted I think I had about $22.00 in the hole thing .I will post some pics of it in the next day or two ,,,it turned out very nice looking job.,,I just wan't to thank every one here at 6x6 world for being so kind .

These are the pics of the Windshield wiper and motor and switch that we installed yesterday ,,I have 2 switch that I have put in this Max ,one has a red light in it ,this is used for the heater that has been installed about a month ago .The switch that has the box around it is the switch that runs the wiper set up .

Thats funny ,,,I got the suspension seat put in today ,,and that is awesome improvement over what was in the Max ,,,I will be starting on the hydraulic brakes this Friday ,,,and then I will be ready to go ,,,yea

Sweet, I love the suspension seat in my wife's Max. Not only for the little bit of cushion it gives you but above that, it puts you in a much better driving position overall. I like sitting lower in the tub and further back from the front axle. Post some pictures when you get a chance. I'd like to see what you ended up doing.

[awesomepossum66]

Sure will ,,,I cant wait to get it done so I can go riding ,,it about to kill me

[awesomepossum66]

Well the hydraulic brakes are installed ,,wow , now I have brakes that will stop this small tank ,in the next 4 to 6 days I will be posting the pics of all the new improvements on this .The new rotor on these axles are very slick and it took a little riding brakes to get this where the brakes would stop the max from moving ,but now it works perfect every time .We also put a flip ring on the latch so it can be used as a parking brake ..I will be giving out the parts list we used when the pics are posted ,,,,,,,,,,until then happy riding folks because that what I'm going to do today

what did you use for a heater in your max iv

[awesomepossum66]

I used a Marine boat bilge air blower fan 3 inch in line and put a shop vak hose to it and ran it the middle of the max iv floor under the panels ,,and put a pipe duck to the muffler and cut it to fit ,,,but you must know this is way to much heat for this small cab,,it get 75 degrees in there in about 2 to 5 minutes so you will need a switch to turn it off and some time its a little fumy it there also .so you may need a vent or a window open a little

Question on the brake lever with reservoir. I have been thinking about doing a mod along the same lines but when I called the manufacture of a brake lever such as the one you are using I asked if it could be used in the vertical position as you have it and was told no as it has a breather hole and the fluid will leak out. Are you having any such problems?

[awesomepossum66]

Yes they do leak when put in like mine is ,,,I have some handle bars being made like the argo has so it will work when in place ..you do have a good point though I'm glad you brought it up .
