Time to share....My 1 of 1 Spyder......

[E55 Bulldog]

Well I know I have been lingering around asking questions and you all have been very helpful. My Spyder is not 100% complete, might change a few things but all in all it’s running great and getting A LOT of attention. Big thanks to Daystar for the engineering genius !!!

8” lift (custom control arms)
Fox Float 3 EVOL snowmobile shocks
30” tires
UTV Hubs
UTV offroad wheels
Two Brothers Racing Exhaust and cat delete
KC LED off road lights
Custom fender flares
custom skit plate and push bar

Man that's cool.

[Chupaca]

Well done... can't see the left side but did you go with a chain drive or did you keep the belt...?? Looks like a real fun vehicle enjoy....

[E55 Bulldog]

It’s a blast. With that much travel this thing will eat any curb, bump, pot hole without even flinching.

I still have the belt belt drive on there for now.

very sharp!
what changes have been made to the electronics?
ABS still function?

[E55 Bulldog]

No changes to ECU. All nannies are functioning for safety. Stability contorol works but is less aggressive because of the suspension set up. Front tires stay planted even in hard truns so its really hard to get it to fire.

So would this be street legal, plateable, and the first Spyder to Deadhorse, AK?

Very nice.

Thanks & did you start with base modle RS new or salvaged in need of repairs you had to upgrade . And how does that rear tire wear?

[sandeejs]

That's amazing!

[IgoFar2]

That's fantastic! Great work. I have a question. Can the transmission safely handle the torque required to turn those cool wheels?

[BigBlock]

That looks great!! Well done.

[IWN2RYD]

That looks great!! Well done.

the fun things people think up........

I love human ingenuity when we have too much time on our hands!

[E55 Bulldog]

Thanks everyone. I have always wanted to make a UTV street legal but NC is not too keen on that. lol.
This is 100% street legal but I still have the occasional cop pull me to question it.

I have what you call a 'carcaine' problem. I love everything with tires... usually big tires. haha.
If I can make it bigger and faster... I will. haha.

I think have a pretty reasonable handle on what's needed up the front end, especially now I've seen your pics, but can you tell us what you did to fit the bigger tire under the rear end?? It looks like it's the same swing arm assembly, but it's on a steeper rake than stock to give the wheel more clearance... is that just from a replacement shock & spring assembly or has something else been done??

It has a custom one off swingarm that was built.

Now that is freaking cool. Well done

That is an awesome build, but I gotta wonder about that exposed belt. How hard would it be to fabricate some sort of guard or enclosure to keep out the rocks? I can see it going on rough roads, but I would wonder about off roading with only that single rear drive wheel. But it looks like you have more experience with that kind of thing than me..
