It used to be an oil field rig, driven by company spics who tore shit up. I cleaned up the CVT, put a new belt on, rebuilt almost the entire front end with new ball joints, A-arm and shock bushings, etc.

Still need to do bushings on the rear end + wheel bearings all around, but it's lookin pretty good now.

Very soon Im getting a roof and windshield for it.

Almost ready to go fuck shit up again at the recreation area I like to go to.

What are you dumbass faggots working on lately?

Been turning wrenches all weekend. (Offroad)

I have a 2016 Polaris Ranger 900 Crew (6 seater, twin cylinder 900cc FI, EPS, 4wd, 3" lift kit, big tires). 2 years ago I was at this rocky ass offroading area and hit a rock and snapped an A-arm, tried to limp it back to the truck and broke a lot of other things before I finally called for a trail rescue.

Fast forward to today. I bought a 20-ton hydraulic press, and an air powered brake bleeder. Replaced both driver side A-arms, ball joints, A-arm bushings, shock bushings, brake line + bleed, Axle, and while I was at it, I disassembled the other A-arms and replaced their ball joints, bushings, and stuff. Then put back together.

Man that hydraulic press is freakin sweet. At first I was trying to press in/out ball joints with a bench vise. It wasn't working. The press make it so easy I could use 1 finger to press them in. Then, that brake bleeder made bleeding the brakes a fuckin breeze.

Took the Ranger out for a joyride, it drives a lot better with less free-play everywhere in the front. Thing drove like it was worn out before, but not now. Feeling good. Took forever to save up the money for all the parts and stuff. I still need to replace the wheel bearings and I also want to replace the rack and pinion for the steering, as well as tie rods and tie rod ends, but that a job for a couple weeks from now.

Gonna have to go camping / riding soon and post pics. Shoutout to Harbor Freight.

She runs sooo damn good despite being a 20 year old quad. Planning a trip to the dunes soon. Had to check the fish feeder.

Rebuild the top end of my Suzuki LTZ400 with a nice new wiseco piston and new valves. She's rippin' again! (files.catbox.moe)

Plus nice new tires...

Notice the Traeger grill in the background. Dont get a fuckin Traeger. They fuckin suck. It's just a smoky oven. And no grill should ever fuckin malfunction, but Traegers do.

Suzuki is finally updating their DRZ 400 bikes! (suzukicycles.com)

Just got back from a 3 day offroading/camping trip today from a place with very rocky trails and steep hills and stuff (Offroad)

Just got back from a 3 day offroading/camping trip today from a place with very rocky trails and steep hills and stuff.

On day 2 i went a little too fast down a rocky trail and a front A-arm on my Polaris Ranger snapped, leaving us broken down deep on a technical trail.

While trying to limp my ranger back to camp with a broken front A-arm, finally, the sole ball-joint holding the hub "kinda sorta" in place popped out, the hub spun 180 degrees and snapped the brake line and bent the tie rod also, so I was fucked and stranded from there.

Spent the rest of the day getting my machine recovered off the trail. Still had a good time though but my machine is fucked now with a list of fucked parts I need to replace.

Sooo Im kind of sad. Luckily my trip wasn't 100% ruined because at least I still had my trusty Honda ATV to ride around on.

Im drinking vodka tonight.

Oh, and my air mattress had a leak so I had to get up a couple times a night to air it back up and go back to sleep. Slept like shit cuz it was warm and humid at night, so im tired. Dont wanna sleep though. Sipping vodka drinks and watching TV with my lady. Itll be ok i guess. Ill fix and build ot back better than before. I was surprised just how thin-walled the metal A-arms are after it broke. When I fix it, it's getting some much better aftermarket A-arms, ball joints and bearings and stuff.

Put a 3" lift, new bigger tires, and removed the sway bar on this 2016 Polaris Ranger 900 6 seater. Thing is a beast. Took it up some crazy trails in this mountainous terrain.

Great channel. They custom build all kinds of rigs specialized in recovering other stuck vehicles, sometimes in really sketchy situations. That's hardly even a Jeep Cherokee that they drive. And the "world's largest off-road wrecker" is pretty badass.
