Adam490 submitted a new Garage Item:

Adam490's Short Bus Budget Build

Bought new from Honda Powersports of Covington. Went with the P1k5 after riding a few times with my daughter on my Rubicon and realizing we needed something more secure and comfortable to fit the whole family. She's been dubbed the Short BusView attachment 142813

Haven't been able to ride anywhere lately other than the neighborhood and my backyard. It's a bummer

Not many people realize that the table where the crawfish are, is specifically for eating mudbugs. Notice the tray with the tators and corn, there is a slot for the heads to slide through. They end up in the trashbags under the table. I guess it's a Louisiana thing because mine is just like it. Thanks for the pics my friend.

Where do these people live, the moon? 😂

 

[Adam490]

I have 3 passes to Stony....

I didn't know they were still open. Did they close the cabins?

Cabins are closed.

Cabins are closed.

That's what I thought I had read. If it wasn't a 6 hour drive I'd head up there for a day ride, but hate parking at a hotel with the Pioneer on the trailer. Not being able to ride at night is also a bit of a bummer. Thinking I might head back to Sicily Island this weekend if it dries out some this week.

They are having several night rides coming up.

I remember those days. Went to school in Thibodaux. Back then there would be several Pabst cans scattered around the table. Good days they were

... Should be riding at RRB right now. Instead she's stuck in the garage with no where to go

@Plumber32 @Bad_bowtie and whoever else is up there, drink some margaritas for the rest of us!

Haven't done much to the Pioneer lately. Bought these gussets from OffroadAnonymous.com a couple weeks ago and finally got around to cutting them to fit the front upper A-Arm/frame tab. Naturally it's been beautiful all week, but when I've got the day off it starts storming 🙄 so I didn't get a chance to tack them in yet. I still need to cut the others to size for the lower arm mount gussets.

Are those to keep the tab from bending? Or just strength the connection to the frame?

To strengthen the frame in that section. We've seen a few rip the weld where the front upper arm mount ties into the frame and bumper mount. The lower fronts take some abuse in the rocks so I'm beefing those up as well based off others that I ride with.

@Plumber32 or @ToddACimer might have some pictures of the upper area when they fixed his a while back

My upper and lower a-arm mounts are gusseted.

Been giving the buggy a once over since she just rolled over 1k miles and has a date with Tackett Creek at the end of the month. I ordered her a BCF harness bar and harnesses as a gift!

Something hit my drivers rear spring retainer and then a rock got wedged under there last ride, so it couldn't reseat. It wore the shock body pretty good:

Got my upper gussets and weld washers (thanks again @Neohio ) welded in and went through the front end. Driver side upper arm bolt was really loose. I can see how people wallow out the bolt holes now. I installed some new locknuts on both sides along with some orange loctite and an extra nut to try and prevent it from loosening up. Regreased everything and put it back together.

Also installed my eBay exhaust tip (Link to listing on eBay). Liking how it sounds and that I won't have to worry about the spark arrestor clogging any more:

This is my stock tip/arrestor:

Next up will be going through skidplate bolts/washers, beefing up crossmembers, and installing my other set of quick release mounts on the rear driver's side seat back. Also need to figure out why my LED whips decided to stop working out of the blue.

Quick video I made of the exhaust note at idle with the eBay tip:

 

[Pilotadam]

I just removed my skid plate to rebuild my clutches.... but I had all the bolts in the main frame rails round the head off. I think the threads had mud on them that then got stuck in the weld nuts. Have you had a similar problem? All the new ones I welded it to my reinforced outer bars had no issue.
