Can you elaborate some on disengaging the 4 wheel drive. I believe I have lost power to the 4wd switch actually button. Can’t determine which wire is incoming power.  
The transfer case is oil filled, not sure what cover you are referring too. All replies appreciated.  
Thanks

RTGear is the name of the company that bought out the parts to the Ruff &Tuff carts. But be careful the parts are the same stock that has caused the Original Ruff &Tuff to go bankrupt,i.e. Ignition switch , $117 .oo. , throttle positiion sensor , 0-5vt , ? Can’t remember but I think it was ,3 times what the ezgo version was. The brake light switched ,  
The 4wd switches are just industrial magnetic pullin switches , like used for heavy industrial motors , on and off with lights, rats ate the wiring in mine ,finallly got the wiring straightened out ,lots of back feeding and cross feeding power to different switches with the ruff and Tuff , especially the key switch. Where there is 48vt coming in along with12vt accessories, that are housed in plastic , done make the mistKe of forgetting the key on. The 48 vt will Melt and short out against th

Is this forum still active? I just got one if the 2wd 2008 camo lsv carts and I think I got ripped off. I thought it was an ezgo but I’m quickly learning that its not compatible with anything.

I’m here. Acquired a few for junk price.  
If you can service it yourself, they are great much nicer than Bad Boy.  
How bad is it?  
One of mine has series motor. Needs caliper and controller.  
Another, as yet unseen claims to have sepex motor. Needs controller.  
First one I got for free, works fine. Bad driveshaft for 4wd. Even 2wd is better than BBB.  
I’m in Mn.

I have had good success ordering Ruff&Tuff [golf cart accessories](http://www.golfcarttiresupply.com/golf-cart-accessories/) from [www.GolfCartTireSupply.com](http://www.GolfCartTireSupply.com) – they don’t have all of their parts listed, but do have lots more when you order over the phone. Some EZGO parts are interchangeable for these vehicles as well (much cheaper, as some have said).

Hope that helps.

John
