Lamonster RTW Project

[Lamonster]

November 3rd the Lamonster RTW Project has started. Ron and I drove up to BRP in Wausau WI to drop off my first "black" RT and pick up the new "white" RT. It was a 1800 mile run and we did it in two days. I was pretty beat so I never even looked at the new RT till today.

If you haven't figured it out yet the "W" in the RTW Project stands for "white". I got to tell you the white is growing on me, it's a real clean look and I think with a little work I can make this as cool as my black RT. :doorag:

I'll be posting links to any mods I do to it here so you'll be able to find them all in one place. I have a pretty big list of mods I'll be doing so there will be plenty of pics and videos of this project. I hope this will help some of you that are thinking about some of these mods and will inspire you to move forward with them. If I can be of any help just let me know. :doorag:

Have you looked at the battery yet? Unless they changed from 2011, I think you will find its not as easy to get to as your old RT.

Lamont,
One of the things that you said in the video, " Wait for it to boot up.".
I'm thinking that some day, I'll be "waiting for the push mower to boot up". :roflblack:

Congrats on the new project!

You said you dropped off your black RT, does that mean you do not own 001 anymore ???

I have not, what changed?

Not sure what you mean "match the white", I'll be starting all over with everything on this one. I'll be picking up my trailer when I head to Pete's for the graphics next week. :doorag:

001 has been turned back in to BRP. I had a battery problem in Daytona that melted down part of my harness and at that point they talked me into taking the 2012 to replace it. It was a pre-production so it had a lot of things that were not easily upgraded so this was the smart move for me. :doorag:

R.I.P. 001 If BRP has a museum, I know where 001 is heading. :thumbup:

Question: Since you're are in the VERY enviable position of being able to have tinkered with 2 RTs; Are you planning a different direction for these modifications from what you did on #1, or will RTW be a mirror image of its predecessor?
