4x4 UTV build continues! Fabricating windshield visor & installing 32" LED bar, fabricating roof, making interior framework and paneling to cover up the engine bay and make it safe for the driver.
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.

My sincere compliments.

  • For the roof, get some rubber tube & split it down the length to make a "C" shape. Put it on the cut edge all around to give it a cleaner look & remove sharp edges. You might need some calking (or something similar) for glue inside to hold it...at least on the ends or every so often. Dude I love your sh*t! Considered me subscribed! AND...THANK YOU. While I always prefer spoken narration to a subtitle I get the fact english isn't your first language. You have moved them up to clear the dam progress bar and that is a first & I really appreciate that. I have a hard time reading (I am very dyslexic) and need to pause every now and then. Usually it is pointless but you give me a fighting chance! So THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU. =)

Even though you'll be storing it inside, be prepared to replace it before too long. I love this build! Until I get my shop built and fitted out, I'm living vicariously through you and your mad fabrication skills ;)

  • Watched you for years & you're getting better & better! One thing to beware of with the plastic is the expansion on hot days/near an engine. You'll probably find your panels rippling unless you drill the holes for the fixings oversize & use penny washers under the fixing heads - it's a known issue with stuff like Stokbord recycled plastic sheet which is used lots on farms here in UK.

    • @@DonnDIY fwiw, it's very easy to thermoform plastic with a little heat. Heat entire fold line until softens, then bend and let cool, very quick and easy, you can easily do 90 degree Benda no trouble at all. Or Plastic weld seams I butt seams together as you have, melt multiple joining holes through middle of joint that help align panels of joint, ie no ripples, then use thin strips of offcuts of same plastic as welding rods to weld seam, similar to regular welding, you can do one or both sides of seam. I've welded everything upto watertight water tanks successfully. With your skills you'll pick this up very quickly. Any roughness from poor welding can be sanded out, any unwanted positioning screw holes can be easily removed./ filled. Choose appropriate sized soldering iron based on how much you want to weld. Std electrical soldering iron will work, but bigger higher wattage iron works better and faster. Use reasonably ventilated. As always , inspirational, great work

  • 4:30, that's the fuel tank breather carbon canister, its purpose is to catch fuel fumes and send them back in the engine to be burned off when it's running. You could delete it (just cap off the line on the fuel tank and the line on the intake manifold). 18:08, paint really doesn't stick to HDPE very well.

    • Yup. My plan with this grinder is to abuse it as much as I can and see how long it lasts straight out of the box. I did however swap the cheapo flimsy handle and disc guard on it for a sturdy original Makita parts (spares from burnt out angle grinders) just to be safer.
