Buy a set of JIS screwdrivers and you wont strip all of the case/cover bolts.

What muffler did you get? Sounds good.

7:51 That's exactly what made the difference in my 88 Chevy obs running great. A $20 part.... throttle position sensor. Lol

It hurt to watch you guy's paint over all of that surface rust on the bed rails. Lol

Amazing. I have a 2003 Matrix XR with 65000 miles on it.

A winch is very good suggestions

I’m looking at a 2005 right in oct of 2024 it looks good as I see it on market place $1100 for it , what do you think ?

Going this year

Righton man I built a RCF micro mini. frame #350

Standard filter costs less than 5 dollars

Which spark plug do you use?

Whatever happen to it? Where did you get most of your parts from. I have the diesel version, and having lots of problems.

Traded some labor for a 1999 bayou 220. Boss had it setting for about 3 or so years couldn't get it going less then 24 hours I had it running had carb issues replaced with new one waiting on a couple other parts then dial it in and use it on the farm.

When will yall be starting y’all’s VF1 build? It’d be cool to see the V twin like yall said! A 4x4 one would be nice too! Keep up the great work

I have a 2003 xr ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I did this but just be aware that any mod adds stress on other components.. For instance after you do this mod, you will now hear a slight banging in the front part of your engine, Reason is the CV axles on both wheels are now at angles they are not designed to be so being a 3 bearing axle rotating at a now angle and not horizontal you will hear a thud as it turns... if the axle had four bearing you would not hear the grinding as much.. to test, lift the car totally up off the wheels on a lift and put it in drive and watch the engine jump everytime the axle does a full rotation... so yes your bearing and axles will break sooner with this lift. That is with all mods that the car was not intended or designed for. If you can deal with the added vibration and don't mind to nurse your car over speed bumps you will be fine and enjoy the added lift. I will . I think it's worth the benefits over the cons. But I want to be real. I don't drive on dirt roads and in the woods where rippin sound don't matter but Im in the city and drive on decent roads where I can hear birds and feel my steering shake a little and tires wobble. I also did the strut bar in the engine bay as well. I did post it but I dont see it my write up but for those people who had continued to read this tahdah... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EDE6EO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also I will go with a larger size tire, that will raise the car up more, and will not hinder the axles at all or change the angles of the axles. Answer the question does it turn differently, no I feel no incumbrance or advantage it's the same. No way feeling of rolling over or losing control get that strut bar in the link even if you don't do the lift I think Toyota should roll all autos out the doors with these. BTW get a front end alignment ... and surprise.. you have to buy two bolts because your front tires are still cambered inat the bottom. You cannot do a proper alignment without it because your stock bolts are too short.

I tow a trailer with my matrix all the time. I do get funny looks, but it works! 🤷

Where did u got the engine ? I saw one on Amazon 125cc 4 speed clutch for 150

could we see a 212 build on this same bike?

I tow all the time with my matrix. Only putting the wiring on because I'm now pulling a boat.

Im planning on doing this. I'm not really sure what beefy size tire to go with though. A size that will look good without running into issues that is 😂

awesome work with the new dash. I wish I was capable of doing this stuff my self but the birds nest of wires mine came makes my brain hurt

Just got my hands on one of these. Any suggestions on where i can get my hands on some replacement parts.

All 88s have an exhaust leak

I own an 88 and an 89 Silverado. I just need to know how your windshield washer resorvoir is not cracked on the bottom.

can you make a Playlist just for the bayou?

I have a bayou 220 and someone previously worked on it and broke a bolt behind the recoil starter, if its broke can it leak oil from there?

If it weren't for the 3 hp motor, I would have thought you stole my go kart out of my storage! I have had it since I was about 15 and I am 56 now. Nice to see more people like you restoring these. Now I need to do mine!

I'm thinking of towing around 2500 lb (total weight) of load from Texas to Iowa via 2009 matrix. Do you think that is possible??

Have you tested it with a load ? I'm thinking of towing around 2500 lb total weight of load from Texas to Iowa via 2009 matrix. Do you think that is possible??

😆

You can push it off and you didn't have to pull it

Cool video guys 👍👍

any update on the lifted matrix?!? hows the turning is what im wondering i take corners in my matrix my worry is either loosing control or rolling over….

"I don't have any part of that foolishness," bless you sir.

Thank you very much! You definitely helped at least one body. They UI isn't very user friendly lol especially with only one button.

Pretty cool yall got a riding buddy with similar bikes 🏍 thanks for advice. Mine only needs carb jetted. Maybe an awesome a exhaust like urs!

My 2004 matrix is just rusty on the underside. Have kept it in great running condition. Has 287000 . No parts available in Ontario for it

Great videos! You ever put new all terrain tires on it?

Do you think you could get a 454 in that truck that year looks similar to my 73.? Clearance looks like an issue to me but have not tried.

Do you guys know what plastics fit this bike my friend has one and we want to find the egl a 16 plastics in black for a build we doing

Where is the mini bike at today I found a built one for 700$ I’m gonna go grab it this Saturday

I'd like to see how you do the timing chain and the crankshaft and the gaskets. I do my own work but I always refer to KZbin mechanic I also have a matrix 2009 I've had for 14 years I've only just changed the ignition coils, plugs, water pump and alternator that's all I've done and then the shocks at mechanic shop, right now it really looks like a zombie because my son had a deer land on top of the hood so the frame had to be realigned. spent $2,000 and it still looks like mad Max car, I'd like to see a beautiful paint, shiny, job, pretty wheels, seats that maybe rotate or slides further to the back so the people in the back can extend their legs out and go to sleep

Put the bed back on it looks good on there I like to cook it really looks nice even though it's the ugly to you but you listening to me I'm not a Chevrolet person but still I would drive it

Going up mountains is hard for any 4banger. I would be curious it would fair as well. I love my 2003 matrix.

Good video. Would really like to see how 1-3/4 does in the jack. Which seems to be the standard for offroad roll cages

What size new tire on your step van?

You don't _have_ to run that red wire to an ignition-controlled 12v source, you could also run it to the battery, and have an always-usable winch. Unless the instructions gave a really compelling reason not to do that. Could be more useful if the main fuse blows in the field when it's stuck in the mud.
