Y'all be sure to read the farewell article to Todd in the latest Toyota Trails.

Drop him a line at tkaderabek@gmail.com and thank him for 12 years of service.

Anyone have any experience painting plastic?

My bumper comes with a piece of black trim that I need to paint the same color as my 200.

Do you have to prime plastic the same way as metal, or do you do something special?

 

[ntsaint]

I've done it a couple times. Scuff it real good with some 3M scotch brite, then hit with adhesion promoter, then prime, then paint, then clear.

There's probably a better/other way, but have had success with this.

 

[MScruiser]

Can you get adhesion promoter from an auto parts store?

 

[ntsaint]

I got it from an automotive paint store. Think it was about $20 in a spray can

I know I will get roasted for this but I need to know if anyone has used this or not. I dont see the need in a $125 buffer currently...I will the idea of using my drill since cordless.

Its good, but I'd even say get the Harbor Freight version; cheaper, and works great. (I have one with a number of hours behind it)

Just make sure you get high quality velcro (hook and loop) baked pads from another vendor, like Chemical Guys.

I bought a cheap $29 ryobi 6" orbital from Home Depot then used good pads from Amazon. Worked great.

RZR motor, belt, service.

$3509

Fuuuuuuu

 

[MScruiser]

Did it include a new RZR too?

 

[Bodean]

You've had $3509 worth of fun with that rig! Plus, it's had the hell run out of it!

 

[Bomar]

Preach Murrah! Preach!

I'm going to use this logic on you the next time the purdy truck gets a scratch...

The RZR thing is just sad. If I was going to spend that I want 20% more horsepower.

I just hate that I waited. Waiting once the smoke started cost me an extra $1500

It's the airbox on these things. Notable weak link that allows dust to skip by. Doesn't take much.

As for the $.....it would have cost more than that to trade it and I don't like either of the 2 current options.

It's new now and the best ever 4 seat model so I'm good.

Finally, Jeff. You right. I've gotten that much fun out of it. I used to s*** $3500 "breakage" bills when I rockcrawled.

This RZR is lightly used compared to the majority of the mud dog RZRs you see in MS. It pretty much stays wide ass open though.

 

[NOLAKS]

how fast is it wide open

 

[wngrog]

how fast is it wide open

73 mph stock governed.

 

[Bomar]

MF'n scary fast.....when you be hitting rocks. I be honest I didn't have the balls to go wide open. I still have pride in saying that on first ever drive.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Guy that built my bumper traded a spensive tool for a 2 seat RZR that had some big motorcycle motor swapped into it. Was like effing scary fast.
