P1000 Limb Risers

[cruddy0815]

I've seen some pics, but just curious as to what material was used to make the limb savers. Looked like it could be small diameter wire or even paracord. I think CumminsPusher had limbsavers on his, but can't remember (too many cool pics of everyone's mods, lol). Finally getting accessories added, and just looking for a little protection to the windshield as we travel 99% on 2 tracks, some of which areally overgrown. Btw, as mentioned by several others so far, the ideas I've received from this forum are costing me a bundle, but man is it fun!

That's what I was thinking of using. It's cheap, easy to replace, and can carry a small reel of it in my trail bag for different purposes. Figured I'd check to see what everyone else used.

His was special though.. not just ordinary rope. I think he got it from his uncle that works for NASA.. they used it to keep satellites in orbit.

Guess I'll be sticking to paracord as my connections aren't gifted enough to work for NASA, lol!

Yeah it's not just string, I searched over the stock at TSC and found some black cord that looked tough. I haven't broke one yet and that says a lot.

I was afraid to use cable thinking it might tear something up if it gets caught.

Thanks Joey, I'm always at TSC buying something. I'll be looking around for what they have. Actually bought my bed mat from there. Honda wanted a few hundred for their mat, and I paid $23 for a heavy, (and I mean heavy) duty mat used for horses. A few cuts with the scroll saw and it fits like a glove. My hunting dog loves it since she don't slide around while riding in the back. Kind of tacky so nothing really slides back there, and it covers the gaps when the seats are down if I need to haul wood, gravel, etc.

I have not heard of the term limb saver aside from archery. What is it that you are discussing here?

Limb risers to keep brush off the windshield.

I use a small chainsaw and hand saw but some people use the boldozer approach they both work but in the long run saw is better just my opinion. The ropes help too.

Cord or rope from the bumper to the top of the rops.. limbs hit it before the windshield.

Maybe should be called windshield savers. But I guess that don't sound as cool.

How are you guys attaching the top end of the rope/cable to the roof? Any pics of the connections?
