Nice! I think you just help me solve a problem. In two months I will be 91 and probably not driving much, I think this would be perfect for me to get around our retirement community. Need to look for one already converted however.😀
For those curious about the cost to build, I was as well. I pulled all of the links and found pretty much everything else that was added (I think). Here's the breakdown: Body Kit - $1800 Lithium Battery + Charger - 1500 Lift Kit - $400 Wheels + Tires - $1000 Front Seats - $660 Rear Seat Flip up Frame - $670 Rear Seats - $670 Rear Seat Cooler - $92 Stereo - $550 Windshield - $190 Roof - $600 Underglow lights - $125 Front Shocks - $75 Bedliner - $200 New Metal for Battery Box - $50 Misc. Parts (wiring, hardware, fuses, etc.) - $100 + Cost of cart (He mentioned "next to nothing"). I'm assuming $500, based on my area and if you can find a cart that's not rusted out with a good working motor. Total Cost: ~$9k give or take
You’re one of my favorite channels and I’m subscribed to a lot. I look forward to a video on the new motor for this golf cart. It looks awesome now it needs to run awesome!
Only thing I would add would be a front lower cover below the gill to fill the space. Just looks like a bump bar or something should be taking up that space. Other wise I really like all the up grades you made. Bronze wheels would also have looked good with the color to complement the body color. A blue tooth receiver and wired speakers hooked up to the battery I think would be easier in the long run not having to worry about charging the battery. Them maybe a dash with speed, battery, clock all in one unit if the make it.
Sure not the first to say but you have two sets of springs in the back. Coil overs plus leaf springs. I am sure a straight shock in back vs coil over (unless spring rate essentially zero). Great build. Always look forward to your content.
Nice rebuild! The front spacers might be a bit much with how much the lift pushes the wheels out already, but hey, to each their own. A front bumper would be the finishing touch as well.
Congrats, Zach! Really cool project, and it looks amazing!! Only thing I'd have done differently is not installing the LED strips - just because they're not my thing....
The blurry footage remind me of the old Playboy Playmate center fold pictures … you may have to ask your dads about that one reference. Another great episode.
might want to consider adding a retractable extension cord reel inside the battery compartment, wired to the charging plug inlet, the built in extension cord will allow you to charge from any outlet and farther away than the standard charging cord.
I hope you and your family made it out okay with hurricane milton that one was a bad one and I'm not sure what coast you are on. But treasure island got hit bad real bad and twice the storm surge with helene and then the wind with milton. I used to live in Treasure Island when I was a teen and lived there for 4 years and loved it there.
Put some extra brake lights on the rear grab bar or bumper for safety. The regular ones might be blocked by passengers. Third brake light on the underside of the roof is a good idea too.
Leaving the front wheels wider will improve the turn radius, I believe. OBS Chevy trucks were set up that way from the factory for that reason. Just FYI.
Love the videos. I'd really like to see how much we would have spent if we bought all of those parts ourselves (minus the cart itself). Maybe an idea for future videos.
Great video and great looking cart. Unfortunately that is a 36 volt EZGO series drive system on the cart and there is no easy way to get more speed. You can upgrade the controller to a 500 or 600 amp DC controller but you would also have to upgrade the motor, forward reverse switch, and solenoid. You are probably looking at $2000 in parts to get where you want to be in terms of speed and torque. You could also do the AC conversion that someone mentioned previously. Also, a conversion to 48 or 72 volt system will help.
Zach, another amazing build my dude! Do you plan on flipping this project? What’s the investment amount look like for an old golf cart plus rebuild parts, vs. what you can flip these for? I also live in FL and I know these are extremely popular. Love your channel, keep up the good work!
Hi Jim here great video. not to nitpick but the battery is a lifepo4 lithium iron phosphate you had spoke that was a lithium ion battery. Thanks love your channel Jim
The 2 extra leaves on the new rear leaf springs could have something to do with a stiffer ride? I would suggest some fender flairs over those aggressive tires to cut down on spray. Overall it looks GREAT!
Nice build, would like to do something similar albeit cheaper 😅 maybe not as flashy. How wide does across does it measure with the aftermarket wheels and lift kit? Wondering if I could fit it in a truck bed for when we go camping
As usual, outstanding work. If you forced me to pick one thing that I would have done differently, I would have gone with the Admiral Blue Metallic, just because I am not a big fan of teal. But then, you didn't do this for me, so my opinion doesn't matter.
Great video. I just bought a 2007 Yamaha G23AE but am having a hard time finding anything about it. When I query Miss Google she comes back with G22 and G29 but rarely with G23 and certainly not the AE part. Any experience with this cart?
Those new leaf springs look more heavy duty, I’d suggest switching back to the old ones to check if that softens the ride before investing in new shocks and struts. Also the front wheels look a bit wide on the video now. I’d like to see it without the front spacers. Or maybe just move the 1” spacers to the rear?
Couple questions, Did the rear seats come with kit or you have to order separately. What brand is the front seat bracket ? Does it mount the front and rear seat back ? What brackets “ front and rear “ did you use to mount the top ?
I'm confused. You said the front wheels stuck out farther than the back so you were going to get spacers for the back, but then you ALSO put spacers in the front, and it looks like the front still has a wider track than the rear.
Add a solar panel on the roof to recharge the battery...if it's cheap enough. Clean and paint the old wheels and body panels and sell them. Same with the motor. Could probably make a business of upgrading carts in retirement communities.
More of this. The pontoons, watercraft, and golf carts are informative to watch.
Enters golf cart. Leaves beach buggy! Always appreciate your work and attention to detail!
love these quick little turn around videos. especially with parts that can all be put on diy.
What a great bolt on option for anyone looking to fix up an old cart. Thanks Zach.
I really like your air jack! Nice lift kit! Nice wheels! Just an all around awesome ultimate rebuild!

This is REALLY cool!!! It wouldn't be a "Zach" rig without the LED lighting!!! LOL Looks GR8 Zach!!! ~Chris
All you need is the front bumper to fill in the space.
Definitely a beautiful build. Loved seeing all the installs.
You give the golf cart the second life , well done 👍
You’re one of my favorite channels and I’m subscribed to a lot. I look forward to a video on the new motor for this golf cart. It looks awesome now it needs to run awesome!
Awesome work as always. Glad to see you're safe. I was thinking about you and your family.
Wow, what a transformation!

Love this! I flip from time to time but never see. Someone post something that shows pretty much everything.
As always...excellent to watch and terriffic work! Kudos, man! You're an extraordinary young person!
Great build! I really like the body kit and sound system. I think it needs a front bump bar to fill the space.
Also, it def needs one of those “purple power” motors!
Sure not the first to say but you have two sets of springs in the back. Coil overs plus leaf springs. I am sure a straight shock in back vs coil over (unless spring rate essentially zero). Great build. Always look forward to your content.

Love this build, by far my most favorite channel!
The magic Floridian lawns, which absorbs every bit of plastics, wood, acid and others substances…….
Kidding, LOVED this episode
haha - well played on the lift kit. 6 inches might be slightly above average lol
Great work, man!
Nice little runaround for your suburb.
Awesome quick rebuild! Maybe I can do something like this for my kids.
Hot dog you are ready to move into the villages down there in Florida! Nice looking build!
I LOVE IT, all except the flashing lights.
Another good job!
Fantastic, your skills make these projects look easy , always look forward to your next video
That thing looks sick!
Shout out to you seen the golf cart in person looks great A.k.a garbage man who stopped you the other day 💪🏽👍
Awesome! Btw my garbage can wheel is broken how can I get a new can? 😂
Lol just call the county and let them know its broken they will send someone to replace it
@@Luiscora561 you’re the best! Thanks!
That looks sharp 👍😎
Those wheels are sick ❤
Congrats, Zach! Really cool project, and it looks amazing!!
Only thing I'd have done differently is not installing the LED strips - just because they're not my thing....
Would love to see voice over to explain in real time your steps. Great video ! Keep up the good work
Well done my man!
Cant wait for update on motor!
Great job looks awesome.
Hey Zac, hope you and your family are all ok after the storms?
Steve from the UK 👍🙌
Love it! Awesome job 👍🏻
But it’ll need mudguards.

I died at the *some may say 6 is above average* comment
Really enjoyed show. That was very interesting

looks bad ass! maybe a front bumper? not sure how that would look… but just an idea
Looks good

Hi Jim here great video. not to nitpick but the battery is a lifepo4 lithium iron phosphate you had spoke that was a lithium ion battery. Thanks love your channel Jim
keep the rear spring and shock just make a 4 link set up. the leaf springs are what's making it stiff.
The 2 extra leaves on the new rear leaf springs could have something to do with a stiffer ride? I would suggest some fender flairs over those aggressive tires to cut down on spray. Overall it looks GREAT!
Such a killer build, love everything you did with it. Let us know if you need help on a future project!
Nice build, would like to do something similar albeit cheaper 😅 maybe not as flashy.
How wide does across does it measure with the aftermarket wheels and lift kit? Wondering if I could fit it in a truck bed for when we go camping
Pretty sick!!!!❤
looks great , thanks

I'd like to see the upgraded motor....
LEGEND
100% Florida style
Automatic like button engaged👍
My hero!
Need more of the kei truck!
Working on it! Hard to find parts
@@ultimaterebuilds7127 best rebuild channel in youtube, so you know ill watch the other videos while waiting for it lol
The golf cart battery have discount now on amazon, only $1100. Love it.
Nice work. What is the cost of doing the rebuild in comparison to buying a new cart? I really enjoy your content.
That 6 inch joke was smooth my boi 😂
Front basket w light bar!!!
Have you considered adding fender flares front and rear?
Are there any updates on the Disney K truck/mini truck?
Working on the next episode
Hey, just came over from a 3 year old video of the black vw on samcrac’s channel 👍
I wish you could show more about the back step that you said folded up!!
Have you ever sent in a motor to Plumquick for the bandit motor upgrade?
Great video. I just bought a 2007 Yamaha G23AE but am having a hard time finding anything about it. When I query Miss Google she comes back with G22 and G29 but rarely with G23 and certainly not the AE part. Any experience with this cart?
Looks great! Do those seats soak up the heat? I wonder if a lighter color would have been better.
Love the project! What was the cost of the makeover?
solar panel on the lid to charge audio battery or even the cart batteries?
Those new leaf springs look more heavy duty, I’d suggest switching back to the old ones to check if that softens the ride before investing in new shocks and struts.
Also the front wheels look a bit wide on the video now. I’d like to see it without the front spacers. Or maybe just move the 1” spacers to the rear?
Are there wider wheel wells you can get? Feel like with the wider wheels you’ll get a lot of splash back.
6 inches is about the average, some people may say it’s above average…
NICE 😎
When is the next pontoon build?
6 inches is definitely above average
Get a navitas motor and controller ac swap huge performance upgrade
Your golf cart is better set-up than most 4wds.
How did you do with the hurricane? All good?
Couple questions,
Did the rear seats come with kit or you have to order separately.
What brand is the front seat bracket ? Does it mount the front and rear seat back ?
What brackets “ front and rear “ did you use to mount the top ?
awesome build. Very nice. What was the cost? Did you buy the golf cart as is? JT
Decent
How did you guy make out after Milton?
Awsome 👍. If i wanted to get a golf cart what model you recommend and what will approximately be the cost. Are all golf cart street legal in Florida.
What’s the cost breakdown, minus the actual cost of the cart originally?
I'm confused. You said the front wheels stuck out farther than the back so you were going to get spacers for the back, but then you ALSO put spacers in the front, and it looks like the front still has a wider track than the rear.
Not sure if I missed it, but what was the full cost of the upgrade?
Add a solar panel on the roof to recharge the battery...if it's cheap enough.
Clean and paint the old wheels and body panels and sell them. Same with the motor. Could probably make a business of upgrading carts in retirement communities.
How much did you get it for and how much are you into it? pricing would be nice to hear once in a while.
