Most were just bent. Better than too hard and breaking

True. I just don't think there is enough force to break a hardened bolt. Could be wrong too!

@Koda I think that's your small chain still holding my wheel in place. Pm me your mailing address and I'll mail it back to ya if you want. Hopefully I won't need it again lol

Hang on to it. Maybe we can get together for a ride soon. Would like to do Coalmont with you guys. Sounds like a great place

I would rather bend a bolt than break frame components. The bolt is the weak link. Those SATV arms are probably not going to bend or break.

That's first thing I noticed taking them out of the bubble wrap. They're beefy. I got a stock bolt coming as well. I'll use it if I can get away with it. There's a little bit of thread poking out to play with.

That'll work. You'd love it. Been itching to go back myself for the day. There's miles and miles of trails I haven't been on yet. That one swollen creek crossing has had us stopped last few times. It should be down by now.

I will do my best buddy. It's harder to get away these days lol. Doubt I'll have my p1k going by then. But I did go get my foreman Tues night.

Resurrection time finally. Ball joints, nuts, etc supposed to be here tomorrow.

It's a good thing that you work well with metal!

Going to pick up roof from being bent. Hopefully they bent in the right direction lol. What would look better? Leaving it raw aluminum or painting?? If painting what color red or black?

I left mine bare because I was afraid the tree branches would scratch the paint off. If you want paint I'd get it powder coated so it will last. I've got plenty of scratches in mine already.

I left it bare too. Still plan on getting a rebel flag wrap for it though (coolest idea ever btw). It'll be little expensive and yes it'll get scratched but still awesome idea.

I'm so glad you're doing that! If I had a flat roof I swear I'd steal it! It'll be perfect Delton!!!

It's coming just not a priority at the moment lol

Valve adjustment done on foreman finally. Been needing that for a while and wow what a difference. Now maybe I can concentrate on the p1k

 

[Delton]

Old mount on left, new on right. Just a tiny bit stronger lol. I think the frame will buckle before this mount will lol. Young kids were awful today so I didn't get much accomplished. Ball joints and stuff did come in though.

Finally ditched my 10yr old E-cig design and went high tech. This thing is a friggin monster. 200w capable but I can only stand 70w lol. It's like going from a Fiat to a Ferrari. First hit I got dizzy and had to sit down lol.
