Tommy Botos's 1987 Suzuki LT500R Quadzilla ATV - Quad of the Month

Quad of the Month - January 2012

Tommy Botos's 1987 Suzuki LT500R Quadzilla ATV

"I've been dreaming of owning a Quadzilla since I was 2 years old riding a electric Power Wheels LT around my house. This quad was bought in boxes, pieces and a bare frame. Slowly, but surely I painted the frame with a Chevy Hugger Orange, cleaned up all the parts I had for it, and started the hunt for the rest. It took almost 6 to 7 months of my hard earned money, and time to build this thing. Absolutely no expense was spared putting it together, its factory solid from bumper to grab bar. Thanks for all the votes and i will keep you all updated on the winter rebuild and also the other Zilla I just bought!"
