Got it thanks!

Here was something else I used it for. I have a trailer I move around; some times to my shed which does not have a path to other then grass. It is awe full handy in moving the trailer around. When I am not using it I like to keep it in a shed. Sunlight and weather can really "weather" these:

Here is a more recent photo. I put a jib crane on it from Harbor Freight. The Jim crane is dropped in on a vertically mounted receiver for a trailer hitch which makes it easy and quick to remove.

Here is a photo of how the dash came out:

I'd really like to hear how those batteries work out for you long-term. Please keep us posted. I have a Polaris Ranger EV that currently has "rebuilt" group 31 flooded lead-acid batteries, that I believe are used mostly in electric forklifts. Not expecting a lot of range or life out of them. I have a notion to convert it to lithium-ion ($$$$), but a good AGM set might be just the ticket while I wait for Li-I prices to descend some. REALLY don't want to spend over $200 ea. for Polaris/US Battery OEM replacements!

Thanks,

I would like to get the UTV (not ATV) manufacturers to pick up on the usefulness of a vehicle which is more like a truck then a trail vehicle.

Isn't that what a Kubota is? Diesel. Why go with electric? I am guessing this was not based on usefulness as UTV like a truck, but your beliefs.

That is so very cool! Great build. Great photos.

I lived in Evansville a long time ago (45 yrs). On Polster Dr back when the E. Lloyd Expressway was still Division.
