4x4 Build Ep.8 - Roof, Seat, Front End
In this video I'm drilling holes and bolting down the wire mesh cargo hull divider from the old Peugeot Partner to the still-not-welded-yet roll bar. To mount the driver's seat level to the ground I have to consider the slope I gave the tube frame bottom half couple of episodes ago and fabricate the seat mounts accordingly. Then I continue with the boxy tube frame construction on the front and finish the week off by building the roof frame which still has to be connected to the front end. I already ordered lights for this UTV and hopefully they'll arrive next week and I can incorporate the shape and size of the LED lights into the project. This project will continue next week.
This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question "Why?" but for those who want to ask "why don't you just buy a side-by-side instead of building one?" I just want to say - I'm not made of money. Side-by-sides are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.
"How much HP will it have?" - the 1.4 litre FWD petrol engine I'm planning on using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque will be tripled via the BMW differentials I'm using to transfer power to front and rear axles.
"It will be too heavy!" - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.
Stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks for watching!
