P1000m5 Adam490's Short Bus

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

Gotcha Thanks

Got the springs on and they feel so much better than the progressive Fox springs. Need to get out on some trails to figure out where I want the preload, but so far they feel a lot better. Tried 4 different spring compressors before I just gave up and went to the old hillbilly spring compressor. The progressive springs were coiled too tight to get the compressors to work without destroying the plastic spacer they ride on.

What is the weight of the springs that come on the fox shocks?

 

[THEOLDMAN]

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

What is the part number of the lights?

What is the part number of the lights?

These are the lights (they were $12.99 at my local TSC, not $25 as listed online). Not sure I'd spend $25 on them honestly, since you are getting close in price to the much brighter lights available on Amazon/eBay. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet on a dark trail but if they suck I'll just put them on my kids Power Wheel.

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

@aauman88 broke that same rope as well; it's junk. I've had good luck with the Amsteel Blue line I purchased after I broke that one.

How are the MOTO CLAW 30x10x14

No idea, I've never seen or run them. I think @Smitty335 ran them before and destroyed a couple if I remember correctly.

I was wondering the same thing for future reference.

 

[Russ989]

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

Good idea

I bet they do well, they look good from the pics I’ve seen.

Not me, I ran the stockers for a little while then EFX's, then Black Water's and now Tera Bites

I thought it was an EFX Moto Claw...

Think they were Moto Hammers, Montie has them now. They are great tires, I was running the stock size front tires on the stock rims, just not enough tire size for aggressive riding.

Ah okay cool. Didn't realize they even made the Moto hammer. Those do look pretty good! Thanks for chiming in

Got a few small things done today while I was "working from home"...

New OTRATTW switch covers, still need to hook up fan override switch

New winch pull to replace my old one that flew off somewhere along the way home from TN

Installed new 12" light bar

Didn't realize it had a DRL mode, but turning it off and on quickly puts it in DRL mode
