Had an awesome time today! Beat the heat and the weather

This makes the what… $60k+ worth of sxs, trailers, parts, trucks… worth it 👍🏼

Probably one of the best pictures I’ve ever taken, haha!

We ride our machines 5 miles from home to a sandbar on the Calcasieu River all year around, when it's not a flood. My girls are 19 and 20 now and STILL love doing this!! Yes it is worth the expense of the machines. Kids will remember things like this forever.

Ordered some of these little Kemi-Moto 90* corner bags to try.

Swapped out the grab bar grips with these Spider grips

Switched to a fixed hub and a new steering wheel 😎… ‘Merica

Little impromptu camping trip out at the atv park yesterday. Kiddo’s first time out in the kayak by herself and she did great!

Where is that park, Adam?

Where is that park, Adam?

Zona ATV park near Franklin, LA. Not real big at all, geared towards mud riders; you could ride everything there in a couple hours. Real nice amenities though and usually some good people watching.

Was really skeptical of these Tusk Zipperless upper doors, but they worked out great! It was easy for the kid to get out and the magnets held way better than I anticipated. They just roll up and velcro out of the way if you don't need them.

Doesn’t look like they have them for 4 seaters unfortunately.

Finally getting around to servicing the Talon and getting some things I haven't had time to install on there.

The Bosman bumper I ordered a couple months ago showed up today so that'll be going on.

Going to cut off these janky .080 bumper support tabs and weld in the Wherli Fab SXS .180 plate. I picked this up a few months ago and it's been sitting in the box in the garage because I never felt like pulling the bumper off.

Replaces the stock .080 sheet metal tabs here. Cut them off and weld in the new plate:

Hess motor mount finally showed up last week so I got that installed as well. Saw where guys were breaking the motor mount on the case so this will add some additional support:

Picked up one of the XTC self-canceling turn signal kits with the billet lever. Really nice kit! Going to try and get that installed tonight or tomorrow as well.

Then it'll get all fresh Amsoil fluids. Just turned over 1280 miles on the last TN trip.

Thanks for the heads up on the bumper mount kit. I was going to make stronger ones for mine but at $89 for the upper and lower plates I can't pass that deal up.

No doubt, they are beefy as hell.

 

[Adam490]

Finally got around to mounting the bumper. Top notch quality and fit. Welded in the new lower bumper mount and that was a quality piece as well.

With all the reinforcement in the bottom end, when’s the cage coming to reinforce the top end?
