With a genuine sadness on Friday, last, I sold my beloved "Thing"  (Coleman Outfitter LSV 400/Hisun HS 400). As some of my fellow forum members are aware I recently suffered a massive stroke that negatively affected (a polite way of saying "completely f......  up") my left side. They said I'd never walk again--but I live to prove "experts" wrong, or 1/2 wrong anyway; My upper left side is FUBAR (I could not get into the beast without assistance and once in could not set (or release) the parking brake, or run the light switch or turn signals. The only way out was to fall out onto the lawn.

Time to let it go... Gotta get woking on "modding" my new power wheelchair.--it's only 2WD, but has a motor for each wheel and with decent tires who knows???

I can still read, do research and  and learn; I'll step-in from time to time when I think I can help-please feel free to tell me to "buzz-off" if I get i get annoying...

off into the night...

@cliffyk sad to read you sold your machine and the challenges you are facing 😞. Hopefully you will continue to prove experts wrong! Your input and participation here at utvboard has been invaluable, so hopefully you will find it in you to still stick around, when time permits.  Would love to see you mod your wheel chair, so share if you will, I'm sure it'll be awesome!

So sorry to hear this but I can understand the way you feel. My daughter and wife made me sell my trailer because they are afraid I might fall and really hurt myself. I'm 89 years old And have hard time getting up off the ground. I can still get on the machine but can't go on any trails. I got Radial street tires on last week so I'm Going to stay close to home. Nov. 1st Oklahoma  well allow street legal machines to register and get a license to ride on roads with the speed limit35 MPH. I don't know how I will like that, we will see. Again I'm sorry about your situation, But be glad you wake up every morning, I am.

Sorry about your situation but I dont think a lift kit on the power chair would be a good idea. You'll hit the armrests on the table and won't be able to eat. 

Guess I'll need a kit for the table too...

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Coleman 2022 UT 400 radiator thermo switch replacement question
      By moonrover
      Mine is overheated/burned/melt at connection with its wire connector, parts are ordered to replace both them.  This seems to be a common issue, and some of you already replaced it. I right now just connect the wires, so the fan runs  all the time whenever the initiation is on, but it's better let fan runs as needed with a working temperature sensor/switch. 
      Question: Does some coolant come out by removing the switch/sensor from radiator?  Or, is the threaded hole all the way inside radiator?   If the answer is yes,  I want to drain or extract  some coolant to make its level below the sensor before replacing it, so I don't make a mess with coolant spilled out 
      Thank you.

      Massimo Buck 400 overheating
      By KMart
      I have a Massimo 400 Buck that overheats and the antifreeze blows out of the motor everywhere! I don’t have to be doing anything but just driving through the field.  It only has 26 miles on it.  I don’t think the fan is turning to cool the motor.  Any ideas how to fix this?
