Project family ride 2016 XPT4 build.

Hello to all,
I have been on this forum for a while now. I just purchased a 2016 XPT4 at the sand sports show. So since I am part of the club I figured I should kind of introduce my self. I have a couple rock crawlers, had about 30 dirt bikes, I have my Prerunner from my younger life, I have a Prerunner f350/ work truck that we took it to Baja last year with a bunch of RZRs. I ended realizing that I missed having a side by side.






I used to own a Yamaha Rhino when they first came out back in 04 or 05. I ended up spending a lot of money on it but it just never had the performance I wanted. It was like a suped up golf cart with 4wd. It had long travel, race engine, bla, bla, bla.I drove the piss out of it. We ended up buying another one that I could drive regularly.


I sold them to buy a Tom Pro mini rail. It had about 350 hp to the wheels and weighed about 1300 pounds. Performance was unreal! So was the maintenance bill and it was unreliable as all hell. Loved the car but hated working on it more than I drove.



I ended up getting so frustrated with the car I sold it and bought something I could just drive and not have a passenger to complain and literally cry about the speed we were driving. Well I ended up breaking my back in Mohave. The old saying look before you leap. Kept it a while after that and sold it to buy another family car.


Anyways, here I am today. I bought a 2016 XPT4 at the sand sports show. I figured I couldn't resist the deal on the turbo so I bought one instead of the non turbo. Here it is when I signed the papers. Which was a week after the show and have not seen it since. I hope to get it back from Evolution Off-Road a week before Thanks Giving.
Some pictures of when I puchased it.



Some pictures of its current transformation.



I will post more later. I got to get to work to pay for this car.
