[@fredberger2451]

Good to see you back

[@backcountrybuilds]

Thanks, Fred. Lots of good life changes recently. Stay tuned for some more videos soon. Fixed up another Big Bear after this one and just scooped up a bike too.

[@moons_mind]

Was enjoyable to watch! You must have pretty solid negotiating skills to get the price that low. Funny to see how some things never change with interests. You're just like Tony working on his car 😂 Glad to see youre doing well man! - Dylan

Hope you’re enjoying life, man! Definitely more like him than not… Thanks for watching.

[@JCampGarage]

Can you link the video you were talking about on replacing that u joint?

[@backcountrybuilds]

This should be the one kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6m8ZYOcd7WbhKssi=B9h5nUgI-CNeAV1J

What size is the socket for the oil drain bolt?

[@backcountrybuilds]

It’s a big dog. I’m pretty sure it’s a 21mm. Let me check

My neighbor picked one of these up for $150. It Runs great but man is it ugly! The Red color is now the crappiest faded pink you could imagine. His is 4wd and all that stuff works. He got a great deal.

[@backcountrybuilds]

@@anthonyg6221 sounds like fun for $150. I ended up with another one. It’s pink, too! Check out the video

I bought a 2003 Bear Tracker 250 for $650 the guy had a problem keeping it running, fixed it the same day. Then I bought a 1998 Yamaha Grizzly 4x4 600 for $325 the guy needed to sell it was his project he couldn't get it to run

[@backcountrybuilds]

Nice job, man! I just fixed up a Bear tracker too! Just sold it and bought a KFX400. Then sold the KFX and just bought a Brute force 750. Thanks for watching! Glad someone else is having fun too.

[@Drakonopia]

@@backcountrybuilds A Brute Force!? those are nice! I really want to get a Yamaha Wolverine 350 4x4 they are light pretty fast good looking and awesome for offroad

[@backcountrybuilds]

@@Drakonopia I had an older one in Alaska and it was a blast. Pretty cool with independent rear suspension and lots of fun. I think it’s actually the first video I made on KZbin.

[@jesusischrist1527]

I just picked up a 2004 big bear 400 with the 4x4 on command ( i was told its a 2014 but they stopped making big bear in 2012 so anyways ) but ut is in about the same shape but the 4x4 works great but i paid $150 for mine 😂... So far I've fixed the carb , throttle cable - RIGGED the throttle cable actually 😂😂😂 but i still have no brakes at all and the back left rim has a whole rotted in it big enough to put two fists through it , LITERALLY 😂😂😂 i have no idea how the tire is even staying on the rim because ive been riding it with half a rim just goofing off but yeah , its not just flat its literally half rotted away ,and still rides doen the road - kinda 😂 but for $150 id buy 10 more of them if i had the chance 😂

[@backcountrybuilds]

@@jesusischrist1527 who needs brakes anyways? You mean the coward handle? On the real, be careful with no brakes! Hilarious that the rim is rotted through. Never seen that before. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best of luck to you!
