Transport kids and family to the lake and back, also nice to cruise the subdivision with.

Makes sense. I don't really have a good image in my head of your place other than the locker requiring driveway! My friend's family has a summer house by Lake Erie and the golf cart is all they use within the area. Kind of cool really.

I grew up without one but once you use one you kind of wonder how you did it without one.

Wait subdivision? I thought you lived in the sticks not a neighborhood.

There are houses out with me. We call it a subdivision, but it’s not like a cookie cutter subdivision.

Well last week the battery was dead. Blamed it on the stereo that turns off and on. That being the 2nd time it has been dead. So I did what I said I would do last time and just unhooked everything but the cart. This week it’s dead again. Now last week I didn’t give it a full charge, just enough to use. But it’s dead this week. Date on the battery is still like 2yrs old. So don’t know if I have a drain, bad battery, or just didn’t charge it enough.

In flordia. Have seen a lot of golf carts. Finally have a better idea of what I want mine to become. It needs all new bushing and so if I’m gonna do that I would like a 3” lift with some 23x10.5-12 tires on it. I want more contact with the road.

Was also thinking of a simple wrap ourselves. Wife has worked with vinyl for a long time with her cutter. And while that’s no vehicle it’s also super small with not a lot of bends.

Was thinking of 1-1.5k budget. I wish I trusted Amazon parts for this more.


Coop

you didnt get enough hurricane last week so you went back for seconds? wtf man?

Coop slowly going full "Florida Man"

He is absolutely going Florida Man.

These made me laugh. You all rock. Lol



Coop

When you would turn the golf cart would “clunk” and it also sagged low in the back.



No bushings!!!

Also leaf springs were in sad shape.



So I went from a 2 leaf to a 3 leaf. Same one we did with my dads golf cart. Man did it help.



I did poly bushings though. His bushing are two years old and cracking and starting to show sings of shrinking. I didn’t wanna that.

I wish I would have measured before and after. But it’s somewhere around 1/2” to an 1” if lift. And wow does it hold better. Before with weight back there you could feel it bottom out. Plus the clunk. This is a huge improvement.

Now if I could just figure out this backfire.


Coop

Wow, nonexistent. Poly should last and scream just a little.

So far no squeaks. I greased the daylights out of them so we will see.

It does need new shocks. I’m gonna see how it feels for a little bit first. The shocks are more like dampers right now. Lot of force to move one way or another. So it just kind of dampens things.


Coop

Haha. That’s funny.


Coop

Kind of want that..

A lift and tires are in its future. No backfire is first.


Coop

Well wedding this next weekend. Dude wants the golf cart over the 4 wheeler. I don’t know if the golf cart will go into the bed given bottoming out plus towing. It’s gonna hang out. Tailgate will have to come off. I also know plenty row with the top on but man that scares me.

Anyone do anything like this?
