Project:Simple Life - 2014 Teyx4 build

[waylayed]

When we (Moonshinexxx Lights) decided to build a UTV for our 2014 Show season and to debut at Mud Nationals 2014 it was a "no brainier" in choosing the 2014 Teryx4 as our platform for the build. We have a 2012 Teryx4 who has been through nine kinds of hell and back and took it like a champ, so we just had to try the new 800 out! This thread will be updated as build progresses throughout the next 45 days until it makes its debut at Mud Nationals 2014 as well as further updates on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/moonshineled

Tear down begins

Got all of the trim pieces dropped off for Hydorgraphics and wiring for lights ran. Had originally planned on running the wiring inside the roll cage, for a cleaner look. There wasn't any entry points into the cage and we decided against drilling a punch of holes in the cage to run the wiring through so we just ran it up the outside of the post and made it look as clean as possible. Also routed all the wiring from the battery through the dash following the stock wiring and installed relay into the factory fuse box.

EMP roof. Looks to be a very well built roof, much heavier duty than I expected. Kinda bummed about the finish being chipped on the edges upon arrival, but overall a very good product.

Well, here is a long overdue update. The original shop that was building the A-Arms fell through, so after some time getting everything back on schedule things are starting to come together. We finally got a chance to take some pics and try it out this weekend, goes to the graphics guys in the morning and then on to have the sounds system built. Upon test driving for 1/2 mile on asphalt this weekend we broke a rear axle, so we also have to get that repaired before Mud Nats now.

The modified factory A-Arms worked out great and the hydro graphics look amazing. We also got a chance to get all of our lights mounted up as well. Moonshinexxx 40" single row on each side of the roof rack, 50" Curved up top, (3) of out flushmount 6-bulb units and some green staylits underneath all controlled from our new switchbox control

Started smoking from engine compartment. Could see a small fire through the plastics around the engine. Didnt have a fire extinguisher, and we were out on a field road, by the time the fire department got to it, it was full engulfed in flames.
