Yea, and theres not much fun in having a 500 dollar bill every other month. I think my clutch had a crease and that caused most of the trouble. That could of happened when i tried to pull my friends 300xplorer up a hill that he couldnt get up. I spun all 4 tires on hardpack for 10-15 seconds untill the radiator overflowed. So, in other words, dont do that and you should be ok.

 

BigBad, especially after mods, I would make sure to take the time to do the jetting runs....those little sparkplugs can tell a ton of info.

The radiator guard on the race mod is the stock aluminum unit....spent tons of time getting the powdercoating off, then buffing, and buffing. The front bumper tubes are the aluminum units off a 4x4.

 

How did you get the powdercoating off? I have access to a sandblaster, will that work? or will it damage the aluminum? What did you use to buff it?
