Default Raptor 660 Rebuild

Hey guys, whats going on? I havent introduced myself but my names Brett. Ill be on here just as much as I am on other forums. Ok, ok enough talking, heres my ride. I picked it up for $2,600 from a guy who didnt take that greatest care of it. Its a 2003 Raptor 660r with mods (after I'm done with it) :applause:

The first day I bought it :doh:
Man it was dirty!










When I first got it, I was so excited but after a while stuff had to be done.

I cleaned it up good but it was still not enough, SOOOOOO REBUILD!

Amazing how similar those are to my XT6...minus the water pump & dual carbs
Had my eyes peeled for a Raptor motor for my SuMo....for awhile now.

Cool project!....& Welcome to the forum.

Ok well since the back plastic was beat to shit, look really closely it was time for a little makeover again. I went trail riding at my friends for a whole day, got home, took it out for a quick spin and found out my upper a-arm ball joints were blown! (from the 400* heat from powdercoating) Thank god I found it! SOOOOOO! I order brand new +2 Lonestar Racing a-arms, +4 g-force axle, and raptor 700 plastic!
