Hey,
My name is Marty. From when I got my first quad in 5th grade till I went to college, I was very very much into riding, quads and dirt bikes. I've owned quite a few (the list is long), but then when I went off to college my parents made me sell my KDX 200 and TRX 250r that I owned at the time......they were helping pay for college, so I really can't complain. I had also just recently totaled my car...and since I wasn't going to be able to be in college and own an ATV or dirt bike, I bought myself a jeep....street legal, and good for trails! It was all down hill from there.
Fast forward a bit, I just got married this summer (yeah...I'm not as smart as most people give me credit for), I'm buying a house (closing on the 30th) and a good friend needed to get rid of two '00 blasters that used to live at my parents house....another long story. Also, I'm currently the president of a jeep club, own two jeeps, one on 32s with a rear locker, another on 36s, locked front and rear. I work on vehicles and make them fit to beat on...I own a welder.
Anyways, there's your background, I used to be the guy who knew ALMOST everything about pretty much every quad or bike that was out there, fixed everyone in town's quad or dirt bike, just so they could ride with us, but I'm by no means up to date on all of the stuff that has gone on with quads and bikes for the last 7 or so years (which is way more than what went on in the 15 or so years before that!!)!!
So yeah, I just picked up two blasters. They haven't been riden in a while, since last time my brother and his friend crashed them head on into each other in the snow coming around a blind corner in my parent's back yard. One is fine, the other needs an upper A-arm....
Between the two I have one perfect running blaster with not too many hours on it, but original motor. I always tried to tell him to let me throw in atleats new rings...he never went for it. I swapped over the FMF fatty and Powercore II from the one which is suffereing from a busted Aarm, and has like 10 times more (hard)hours on it. I'm eventually gonna get both running nice, but on a budget (I'm about to buy a house, and I own two jeeps, not including my wifes, which is stock). The first one, the one that used to not have the FMF (and hence didn't get beat on as hard, or even ridden so much) started right up after just cleaning the air filter. Again, hadn't been run in over 2 years or so. The other one I"m not even gonna try to start it before putting new rings in it.
If you read this much, good for you, and sorry for being so long-winded. Being the pres of a jeep club and having a forum and such, I just wanted to say hello to y'all and give you some basic background info.....because I'm gonna have some questions!! Thanx in advance for your patience and help!!
