Ever since I replaced my box, waterproofed it, & fixed a short that I had in the fuse box it has worked flawlessley. I thought it was a cheap box, but it is actually very similar to the box on my Wildcat. The Wildcats are having a few issues with after submerging them in water. Obviously they also need to water proof them as well. Have you replaced your original box yet?

Well, immediately after purchasing a new 4x4 box it has been recommended several times on the forum to take the cover off & seal it with silicone.

Prior to my first 4x4 box going bad it would intermittently shift in & out. I just ignored it & figured it was the box. Then when I replaced the box the new one did the same thing. I noticed when I would turn on my headlights the 4x4 would really start acting up, so I figured I had a short or bad ground. I chased all the wires back to the fuse box at the passengers feet. When I pulled it

I have had failures in the 4X4 box also, so I tore it apart and rebuilt it and because the board was burnt, I redesigned the circuit to use FETs instead of the relay that is inside. Works well, but you have to rewire the switch or install a new switch. If any one is interested, let me know and I will elaborate, or if you want, for a nominal fee, I will rebuild yours'.

I have put a bunch of photos on google drive and if you want to look at them: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByQAhs0e-yF9X2VNSnFvekFMUjA&usp=sharing

I made my own manual connection, and got a cable at the local motorcycle shop. Where I am, it's difficult to get to a machine shop, so everything has been done with a hacksaw, file and drill. It's worked perfectly for well over a year, with no issues at all. You can see it here:

You'll have to scroll down.

I did buy a lever from Lenny, which let's me engage the 4X4.

      Hisun 750 Total electrical failure
      By Nypto
      I just bought a new Hisun 750 sxs. I drove one mile and it just died. No power at all. Battery is 12.8v. Found no blown fuses. No power to the panel, no nothing. Problem for me is I bought 160 acres near big bend. Trying to build a house. Got blown up in 'Nam . Can't walk much. Scared I'm way out and it fails again. I heard something  about a brake switch,  but I have no idea where it might be.

      DO NOT BUY A LANDMASTER UTV!!!!!!
      By Chucky 1
      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      Hello, 
      I found an 08 Renegade for sale and looking to purchase it.  I haven’t heard too much about these machines and any insight would be much appreciated.  Are they good machines?

      Need manual for teardown and rebuild 2011 hs 500
      By LindaCall60
      Purchased a 2011 bighorn banchee. Needs motor work. Not sure what. Husband is mechanic but not computer savvy. So, is there a manual that will tell him how to tear this down?  We have down loaded a service manual, but he says it doesn't tell him what he is looking for.

      Free Massimo Buck 400 service manual
      By strike250
      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
