This is what happens to a real old gator when I get ahold of it!
1. Stretched 20"
2. A full travel lift on the back that can lift 2k pounds! It also unfolds to act as a wheel chair lift
3. 2 Bench seats that allow 6 to ride in the back
4. 2 Custom roll cages
5. Back up cam
6. AM, FM, CD, DVD complete with 6 speakers that light up
7. Under carriage green neon lights on all 4 sides
8. Two custom boxes on the outside of the seats that hold 8 long necks on ice
9. Water cannon that shoots 30' fed from the melting ice from the beer coolers
10. Custom made alternator and a full size car battery
11. Dash dispenses Jack Daniels out one side and vodka out the other side 27792780
Come on... You can't trick out a Gator like that without giving us the story.

It all started about ten years ago when I wanted a gator and just could not afford one. I found one up in WI in the back of a barn coverd in hourse crap completely destroyed... I had it transported to my home and dumped in my garage. My friends would come by and tell me how cool it would be if..? So I made it so I could use it for big events where it gets a work out hauling around handicap people to NASCAR where it hauls 8 all overe the place... Now I use it at my new house in KY to haul wood or to just drive up and down the road to viset my neighbors.... It is suck a eye catcher and has been in the news quite a few times....

I have some great ideas for another Gator so if you know anyone that wants one custom let me know I will build it!
I have a neighbor with a handicapped daughter which I immediately thought of when I saw the powered lift on the back. But what a cool build!

Thank you Dane, I made it so a wheel chair can lock down on the lift (very safe), or the doors in the back can open and the wheelchair can just pull right on in. It has electric stops so it always stops flush with the bed. You can also lower it down far enough so you can change the rear tires....lol

If they would like one it's no big deal on my end if they have a gator... Just have them go out of pocket on the material....

Thank you Bunky...
After seeing my Gator my neighbors are considering going to a UTV. Up to now they have been die hard ATV fans but as their daughter has gotten bigger it's become more difficult to take her on their trips. I have sewn up harnesses so the driver puts on a harness. The daughter gets strapped into a harness then with quick connects they can clip her on their front or back like a backpack. I'm sure there are some PITA or other people that would cry it's not safe for a child, especially handicapped to ride a ATV but sometimes being able to go along with everyone else can mean a lot to a child.

God bless you for stepping in like that! That how I got started on mine too... Tell them to buy a old used gator and get it to me and I will make them a wheelchair lift on the back like mine... I can afford much as I'm handicapped as well and semi retired but if they pay for the material I will build it for free.... Let me know and God bless....
No need but thanks for the offer. I have a machine shop, plasma cutter & MIG & TIG welders so I can fabricate about anything needed. My neighbor is a heavy machinery mechanic so he's able to scrounge a lot of parts and a lot of material that is ever needed and can take care of any mechanical issues. Between the two of us we could put a man on the moon with spare parts & duct tape.
