That roof sounds like a fun build...I could do that maybe. Woodworking is something I can do. I am tempted to add wood panels on mine and make it a woody just because I can haha. |

I will be adding some type of pinstripe I think and I need to cover the front strip where the stripes used to be. I could not for the life of me get 30 year old vinyl stripes off and didn't have the patience to sand them off by hand, so I figured I'd just get some black vinyl or something and cover it there. Needs something to break it up anyways. |

Re: PCX-950s
Yeah, I'm an electrical engineer so the electrical is right up my alley but the wood working scares me a little bit, but as usual it will probably be fine, because when I am a little unsure I usually end up going overboard with supporting it so I'm sure in the end it will be very sturdy. I'll have to get some pics up here with my progress along the way.

Re: PCX-950s
Tinted the taillights today and got some more bed liner to coat the top of the canopy. Got some other goodies (LED under lights and an ooga horn) the need to be installed as soon as I figure out how to wire them in.

Re: PCX-950s
Thanks! That was a nice and simple upgrade. The can said not to do more than 4 coats (of course thats a liability thing for road vehicles)...it probably took about 8 until I felt like it really was blacked out like I wanted. Didn't much care for how well the lights showed afterwards, since I have installed LEDs underneath now. May replace headlights and tail lights with LEDs sometime too.

Re: PCX-950s
Attached are some pics as to how I mounted a cooler under the third seat. Note that I have a mig welder, am proficient with it, and considered welding a cooler frame but found it to be unnecessary.
Pic 1 shows the cooler under the seat (it's still dirty as I haven't cleaned winter's mess from it yet). It was important to me to make the cooler removable so that it can be easily cleaned. Pic 2 shows the general set up. Essentially, I used some vinyl strapping that I had laying around. I fastened the strapping to the cart from as depicted in the pic. Pic 3 and 4 just show close ups of the fastening points. I had initially intended for the cooler to simply set upon the vinyl straps but a couple test drives showed that cooler had too much back and forth sway with the motion of the cart. Simply cutting and placing a piece of plywood as shown is pic 2 removed just about all sway as it tightens up the straps via a larger displacement of the cooler weight. |

Re: PCX-950s
Wow I'm glad I found this! I feel like no one has these carts lol.
I posted some pics in another thread but ill share here too. I recently added a trailer hitch ball and mount to the rear bumper, I really need an entire front cowl as the dash is totally shot and the front has damage, but in the meantime diamond plated the dash, I'm doing some rewiring currently amd adding some more accessories so I have a new modern fuse box coming in, led light bar, some speakers, digital DVM/SoC display i already have, and an hour meter. Got a blank slate for a dash so ill be able to arrange everything how I like. New D&D high torque motor (highly recommend) While I have the body off when it goes to the shop for some frame alignment i am definitely putting a cooler in the back space. Great idea. Mine has a utility bed on back but the cooler will come up level with the plywood sheet. Got all the 25 year old Marriot stickers off with a heat gun so its a blank slate minus the ezgo badges. Still undecided on a color! Anyway, glad to see these carts getting some love! These make me want a roof on mine really bad sometimes! |
