We received our ITP T7 beadlock wheels from Dick's ATV for the Renegade 800-X and mounted them up today. I will be writing a review on the wheels.

Let us know what you think about how they look.

Thanks Mack!

They are awesome wheels and Mike at Dick's ATV hooked us up. You should give him a call and see what kind of deal he will give you.

If you ever run low pressure or do any technical stuff, they are a must. We have run low pressure on regular wheels for better grip and have busted beads off on the trail which is really bad. Really low pressure is the way to go for good traction but you simply can't do it without beadlocks.

"heavy"? like weight wise? It's actually a much lighter quad than the Grizzly.

I think I'm gonna pull the winch off, the front differential out of it, remove the headlights and shave the front fenders. You may wanna wear a dust mask for the race to limit the amount you inhale. I've got one I'll loan you cuz I won't need it.

Buster, that quad is looking efin awesome! :headbang:

It's amazing what tires/wheels do for a quad. Much less a graphic kit like that. Can't wait to see those hand guards and yellow springs disappear.


And someone needs to hurry up and smoke GW on his "precious". Notice he didn't invite me to ride this week. If you're skeered...just say so GW. We understand. Really.

Tough to explain. If you look at the first picture (which I think looks great), I think the graphics kit, winch, lights, skids, etc, along with the look of the bike bike such as the radiator and plastic give the bike a "heavy" look to the front it. While I'm sure it is lighter than the grizz and will smoke most quads out there, I think aesthically it looks heavy...I'm not sure how else to explain it so it makes sense.

Thanks guys!

Parts are still coming in and in 4 weeks it will be fitted with a sweet new seat.

Next weekend, it may be on the road out of state to a bikini photoshoot. Still working out the details with the model's schedule. However, I have 2 locally that are ready to shoot when I can get with the photographer's schedule.

I've got to get the shock springs powdercoated red before the shoots to prevent having to do a lot of photoshop color changing on springs. If my powdercoater can't get them done that quick, then photoshop it will be. Nonetheless, the girls are hot and the photographer is amazing!

I'm stoked about it nonetheless.

If you have them powder coated he should be able to have it in and out in 2 hours

yeah just depends on his load and what else he has in the oven at the time. His current oven is small compared to what he's in the process of building from what he has told me. I was considering powder coating the foot pegs red too but don't want to go too red with everything. I'm gonna photoshop them red and see how they look with the current setup before I make that decision.

Well I just photoshopped them red and they look like a big ole turd so I'm gonna stick with the springs and leave it at that.
