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.
Honestly, yeah dudes are the only people interested in it lol, just like with my old DRZ 400. That's OK though. Women don't know what the fuck about anything.
Used to have one. Sold it with a house. Regretted it but I have never replaced it. Work horses. The plow attachment was worth it, and the winch was nice. Current project? I can't wrench for shit. Custom barn doors for a giant basement closet space.
The hood of my jeep is rusting. I took care of the interior and am working on the exterior next.
After that I need to figure out a new exhaust mount as it busted off and now the bitch rattles around. A bit of tie wire holds it together until I come up with a solution.

I've been wrenching on my 1968 Cadillac Eldorado. The transmission chain drive cover was leaking so i pulled engine and transmission out to fix that. Beside the chain drive cover i also changed a few O-rings and resealed the transmission oil pan. So far i looks like all the leaks are fixed, but i wont know for sure until i start it up again and bring up to temperature. Almost have it all together again.
I live out in the country, I feel you. My yard fights a battle every year, and every year the natives gain a little more ground against my bermuda grass. I dont know what the fuck to do.
You may know, I moved onto town from the country, back in October. 11 years and I’d had enough. The commute, 30 minutes each way, six days a week for work. The never ending yard work. The weeds, gophers, coyotes, leaves, wind, power outages, cock roaches, mice, rats, all of it. And, I kept my shit in order. Fuck, it was alot of work.
Look dude, get yourself a little Yamaha Rhino 660 or 700. Cheap, carbureted, 4wd, single cylinder, everywhere for sale and parts galore. You'll love it. Just don't try to drift or do donuts like a retard. You'll love it.
I am a certified Honda Red technician and Suzuki Bronze, plus lots of experience in just general powersports mechanic shit. I try to take care of my expensive toys. Get yourself an off-road toy. You'll love it. Especially if you live within driving range of some sand dunes. Dune riding on a nice machine can change your life. It's addicting.
I don't have speakers on it. I have a little bluetooth speaker I strap onto it sometimes, but the stock exhaust is pretty quiet anyways and I enjoy being able to hear the engine sounds from a mechanic's perspective. Lets me know shit's working right.

But a city boy like me would probably shut the fuck up the moment you took me for a ride on it.

I would really like one of those types of vehicles.
Yours looks mighty fine and sounds to be in good hands.
