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
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.😀
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....
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
20 year old gold cart with $8K in parts ($8,500+ with tax and shipping). If he adds a new motor and controller that's another $1K - $2K. That cart will need to bring $12K to make a profit based off of materials and labor. A BRAND NEW 2024 Lux F4 with everything shown in this video is $10K with free shipping and a warranty. Guess the YT views make it all worthwhile!
I was thinking the same thing.. makes it very easy when its sponsored or using that youtube monies :) Need to do a building on a budget and tell us what stuff costs
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.
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!
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.
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!
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?

You give the golf cart the second life , well done 👍
More of this. The pontoons, watercraft, and golf carts are informative to watch.
I really like your air jack! Nice lift kit! Nice wheels! Just an all around awesome ultimate rebuild!
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.😀
Enters golf cart. Leaves beach buggy! Always appreciate your work and attention to detail!
This is REALLY cool!!! It wouldn't be a "Zach" rig without the LED lighting!!! LOL Looks GR8 Zach!!! ~Chris
What a great bolt on option for anyone looking to fix up an old cart. Thanks Zach.
love these quick little turn around videos. especially with parts that can all be put on diy.
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!
Definitely a beautiful build. Loved seeing all the installs.
All you need is the front bumper to fill in the space.
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!
Love this! I flip from time to time but never see. Someone post something that shows pretty much everything.
Awesome work as always. Glad to see you're safe. I was thinking about you and your family.

Wow, what a transformation!
The magic Floridian lawns, which absorbs every bit of plastics, wood, acid and others substances…….
Kidding, LOVED this episode
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.
As always...excellent to watch and terriffic work! Kudos, man! You're an extraordinary young person!
Hey Zac, hope you and your family are all ok after the storms?
Steve from the UK 👍🙌
Love this build, by far my most favorite channel!
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.
Nice little runaround for your suburb.
haha - well played on the lift kit. 6 inches might be slightly above average lol
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!
Cant wait for update on motor!
That looks sharp 👍😎
Would love to see voice over to explain in real time your steps. Great video ! Keep up the good work
That thing looks sick!
Those wheels are sick ❤
Great work, man!
Really enjoyed show. That was very interesting
Great job looks awesome.
Fantastic, your skills make these projects look easy , always look forward to your next video
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....
Well done my man!
I died at the *some may say 6 is above average* comment
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.
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.
Another good job!
That 6 inch joke was smooth my boi 😂
Love it! Awesome job 👍🏻
But it’ll need mudguards.
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.
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

Such a killer build, love everything you did with it. Let us know if you need help on a future project!
Well done!
When is the next pontoon build?
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.

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

Pretty sick!!!!❤
6 inches is definitely above average
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
❤❤❤❤❤❤awesome cart😊😊😊😊😊😊
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.
Automatic like button engaged👍
Hey, just came over from a 3 year old video of the black vw on samcrac’s channel 👍
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!
My hero!
LEGEND
I'd like to see the upgraded motor....
6 inches is about the average, some people may say it’s above average…
NICE 😎
Nice work. What is the cost of doing the rebuild in comparison to buying a new cart? I really enjoy your content.
100% Florida style
keep the rear spring and shock just make a 4 link set up. the leaf springs are what's making it stiff.
Your golf cart is better set-up than most 4wds.
Front basket w light bar!!!
Mordecai and rigby would think this is the coolest thing to ever exist
The golf cart battery have discount now on amazon, only $1100. Love it.
Watching your channel is always a fascinating and educational journey. Keep leading us into the world of your creativity and inspiring us!🧐🐋💽
why did you space the rear wheels out and then push the fronts out even farther? They matched for like 5 minutes
Nice build . Where the missile launcher
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.
Hope the hurricanes were not too bad for you.

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?
Get a navitas motor and controller ac swap huge performance upgrade
Leave it with just the front lift on and you would qualify for the SC squat!!!!!LOL
I wish you could show more about the back step that you said folded up!!
How did you guy make out after Milton?
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 any updates on the Disney K truck/mini truck?
Working on the next episode
Have you considered adding fender flares front and rear?
awesome build. Very nice. What was the cost? Did you buy the golf cart as is? JT
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.
Decent
How did you do with the hurricane? All good?
Nice!!! But where do you put your golf clubs 😂
I was worried it wasn’t going to fit under the garage door
The black seats looks way better
Marketplace around here is full of these with dead batteries for less than $500 so this looks like a great option.
solar panel on the lid to charge audio battery or even the cart batteries?
