I’ll be starting a pool to place bets on what breaks first (tierod, axle, diff) and when. $10 a bet, two closest split the pot, unless someone gets it exact.

Next time you come out let’s get you stuck in our back 40. Probably tougher terrain then most fire traps with pretty stickers run. Not where we want to be but still riding!!
By the way I’m really happy with clutch update! Those that know the whole story,it is fully there and It feels wonderful! Honda came through with not only our update but also new clutches. Pj was a pile of s*** period but we got out original “Bye Bye Side” back, the one that was solid till the water issue. I’m in love with the Pioneer again.

Well that was entirely more difficult than it should have been.. When I had the ball joints pressed in they tore a boot and replaced it with an all-balls (I think) and it doesn’t seal for s***. So after messing with it too long I said f-it and put it on anyway. I’ll replace the ball joint another day. So everything is going along and then I go to take the upper stock arm off and I realize the EMP winch Mount bolts are in the way. So now I have to take that half apart and screw with the bumper and mount. Finally get it going my way and putting it all back together and see that they boogered up the threads and taper on the upper ball joint that has the replacement boot. So I get out my file and screw with it for waaaay too long. Finally get it to work and then on to the passenger side. It went smooth and took a fraction of the time. But I only got the front together and then see I’m out of thread locker. Oh well. I’ll do the rears tomorrow night. Thankfully, @Windrock1000 gave me all the camber measurements and they were spot on so I didn’t have to screw with that. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to do a project that should be pretty straight forward.

One more thing.. I see I need brake pads so ordered them. Hopefully they’ll be here in time. I also put on spacers. Should I add some anti seize between them and the hub?

I don’t think it’s necessary but I did when I installed mine! Did you install the steering stops?

Make sure to check your alignment when your done..mine was out a good bit after doing the front arms. Looks good man!

Looks good! I wish I would have checked the grease passages before I installed mine. After running mine without the a arm guards, I decided not to reinstall them, I like how mud doesn't pile up on the guards.

I didn’t.. I don’t think I will. I’ll just be aware of turning. Besides I have 6 months left on axle warranty. Lol

Mine wasn’t centered to begin with.. but I did. And now it is.

Yeah.. I’ve debated on using my uhmw scraps from my skid build. But I don’t think I’m gunna. Same reasoning.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Side job primed. 7 hrs on the sheet it’s done in 1.5. Can’t tell I’m in a hurry to go riding?! I’ll paint it tomorrow night late as for now @100Acre we are loaded up and will be leaving in 45. Hope you saved us a spot

What were his measurements, having a hard time finding them, doing my front tonight. Struggled with my passenger side upper arm bolt, finally got it out to find it was as straight as a politician

Fronts...

He sent me pics of the thread counts for the rears. I’ll take a pic of my measurements for the rears when I get back out to the shop. (just finished one of the rears and I’m at the house getting a bite and seeing the girls before bed)
