14,000kms on it. Pictures don't show the fact that it needs ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods ends, rear wheel bearings, brake shoes, 2 front axles, a new CDI, a carb rebuild, and probably a top end rebuild lol Tires are starting to reach the end of their life as well.

Lol , Lot of work to do on it ... still it looks good i like that the body isnt all beat up , i have 15 650 Kms on mine , runs like a charm ! I wish i had the green body like yours ... i dont mind red but its not my favorite color .. I looked everywhere for body kits, most i find are super expensive , i know they would since its an older model , but i didnt think they would have been that expensive !

Yeah I like the green better too. Everybody has red, I've had a few of them myself and just got tired of the same colour lol. We bought that 350 new in september 2000, so I can't really blame anybody else for the abuse it's been given haha.

 

[CANADIANVIRU5]

hahaha . im thinking of buying new too , maybe this fall or something .. as i have other plans til then but i think im gonna go with a foreman 500 or a Rancher 420 , not sure yet but i know it wont be red hahah

Hi Canadianvirus,

Does your 01 Rancher have brake lights?

Just wondering if you ride on the official trails in Quebec.

 

[WIRedRider]

Virus, if you were closer to me I'd swap your red plastics for my green. I don't mind the green, but I prefer the look of the red.

Where did you find LEDs for the stock headlights?

Here's my 2000 4x4:

Where are you located ? Id love to swap

I used 15w Eagle eyes with the treaded ends , two big washers , i removed the stock bulb and inserted the first washer and then the eagle eye .. second washer to make a stopper to keep the bulb from moving i tighten everything up and wired it on the stock harness .. so i comes on like it should and the actual bar i did the same for wiring .. i bought a second one its a 7inch led bar and its gonna go in the other slot on top

 

[CANADIANVIRU5]

Sorry .. i just remembered i only had one 15 w eagle eye so i used the two 9w i had .. so they are 9 w led eagle eye
