Pictures that Mike Stephens
took of my Arctic Cat Wildcat flopping.
This is where the passenger side body panel broke and driver fender.
I broke my rear axle shaft on Godzilla at Bridgeport.
Video wheelin up Godzilla.
I have allot of work to
do on the Wildcat before Drive it in Drag it Out in two weeks.
Here are pictures of the work I did to repair it.
Replacing the rear axles with Rhino brand that are Heavy-Duty 4340 Chromoly Steel.
Cleaning out the inside cab.
Trying to fix the broken panels, made a template to cut some sheet metal and have that Bullet lined.
Fixing the brakes, putting on EBC pads as I read they will not squeak as much.

More to come......
We will see you at Drive it
in Drag it Out - April 24-26
Had a great time and nothing broke on the Wildcat even though it as beat on
hard.
Was clean on Thursday night, but it rained and got muddy fast.
I paid $20 to get it cleaned well enough so I had less work to do myself.
Also did some climbing on the rocks on Sunday, crazy how well this rig can climb with these tires.
So here are the repairs that are needed, nothing broke over the weekend, but these item were are are close.
Driver tie rod is wearing out.
May need to replace both front lower ball joints, at least driver side.
Seat latches are all broken, only able to unbolt them
Needs a super cleaning once seats are out.
Check fluids and belt drive system.
Fix glove box latch.
Install A-Arm guards.
Install front winch mount and rear receiver mount.
Going to be a long wrenching weekend, but this all needs to be done.
