This is the way to do it. I've told several people of this method.

Were you able to do this by yourself?

Yea you get those springs cranked back and then it dawns on you just how wrong it could go

Absolutely. I got them back just enough to get the retainer off then threw a couple wet towels over it and hit the ratchet with the handle from the jack. I thought I'd just bump it with a little piece of 2x4 on the first one and it blew the bottom out of the bucket when it released. The new 300# went on easy.

Yep, me myself and I had it under control. Well Miller high Life was also involved but that asshole didn't help much.

You freaking rock.

Found some cheap waterproof LED's to use as rock lights and got them wired in this evening. $13 for 8 of them at Tractor Supply Co

They're actually white, but the shadow makes them look blue in pictures.

I may be drinking

Here's a picture of the lights. Not sure how they'll hold up but for $13 it won't hurt my feelings if they crap out.

I put some reptile eye perforated vinyl skins from @thevinylcreator (Kent Hill) on the other day and they look pretty cool. They definitely cut down on your light output so I'll probably pull them off for a night ride on tight/new trails, but they are fine for cruising the hood and around the farm. If you have a lightbar/pods you would probably be fine with them on. Maybe this can be my excuse to add the lightbar...

Can you take them off and put them back on?

Added a Ram Mount for the Galaxy Tab S4 I picked up to use as a GPS and media hub. I really like it so far! I have a playlist that I add to and just download it before we go out to ride.

That’s one I’m using now and it looks identical. I haven’t pulled real hard on it and probably don’t need to

How is your winch line holding up I purchased the same one

 

[THEOLDMAN]

This is how to drive to not bend one.

Thinking Fox are in my near future. Looks like eBay is the go to place to get them?

I love the Fox Shocks with the 2.5 Highlifter lift

 

[THEOLDMAN]

Got them on there. Definitely need to get a spanner to adjust the preload now!

Let me know where you find a good spanner wrench. Please

 

[THEOLDMAN]

Got my Garmin Virb XE in. Have it mounted on the hood right now but still trying to figure out the best spot for it.

I have mine on a ram mount hanging from ROP behind the windshield

I bought this one and it worked great.

Spanner wrench

Can you take them off and put them back on?

No, they'd rip pretty easily trying to get them off once they are stuck on since they are perforated.

@Plumber32 are you still running Rock-a-billy's? I'm liking that tread pattern. Tried searching but only found a few older posts where you said you liked yours and @nbomar said he didn't like them. Too many damn tire choices.....

How are the MOTO CLAW 30x10x14
