Yeah I was pretty freakin pissed myself, but better to drive it back than figure out how to retrieve it from the bush....LOL

The right axle is definitely loose and rattling around *sigh*, however I was not too happy with the old girl when I dropped it off (didn't wash it, or look it over) Just looked at the parts list for it and possibly another $7-800 to fix up the front end completely!! Ugh, dunno lookin at my options at the moment....really thinkin a new machine may be in the future!!!

Called mudthrowers and they said they will get their next shipment of 28" zillas in 3 to 4 weeks. :( i was hoping to get the rims tires and clutch work done before i waterproofed it.

Oh well in 3 or 4 weeks i guess itll be an early birthday gift from myself :)

Screw it, i got tired of waiting. Ordered my QSC clutch kit today, so it should be here tuesday. Then i can waterproof it and put the wheels on whenever they decide to show up.

New Odyssey battery showed up. So I went out washed the RZR, installed the new battery, and put a fresh belt on her just for the hell of it. The old belt looked fine after 900km so it'll be the spare.

Cleaned all the spit off, hacked up my wiring harness and soldered a bad connection together. ...only to find that particular connection was not the problem. Time to take it into the dealership which will most certainly punish me for trying to fix it myself.

have to check the oil in the suzi q, fix the speed head that got wet and crapped out, and maybe replace a few bushings in the upper control arms. heck maybe even put an ounce or 2 of seafoam in the gas tank.
