P1000 NBomars tinkering and silly stuff

[elkguide]

True. But I've fished them back out a time or two.

It's easier to understand them if they have a little pizza or a half a box of fries dumped on top of them.

How do you handle the pressure?

Some days are WAY better than others... lol. Today was pretty all right... cut grass and ran to our office and picked up mail. Feel like I got nothing done.

@nbomar, do you think you're causing unneeded stress or wear and tear to that hose? I'm not sure if Elka designed those hoses and hose ends for that type of use. The instructed us to a very specific mounting location which I am currently using.

Also, let's say the hose or hose ends fail, will Elka warranty it if it wasn't installed like they specified?

Just food for thought, I know the mounting location on the frame rail makes it inconvenient for adjustments. I will say that I had my rear shocks set before going to the takeover and never had to adjust them for the four days we were riding there.

I'm gonna have to second this notion. They definitely aren't made for the hoses moving around. I hear ya that they aren't in danger of being pinched but that stuff will move and rattle around a lot more than you think when mounted to the A arm. They're also more susceptible to sticks and debris down there.

Remember you aren't adjusting them as often as your radio station. Maybe leave like they are for just a bit to dial it in but then I would move them. I've found the longer after install the less I need to adjust. I usually find a setting that covers 80% or more of my needs and carry on. Just my two cents buddy.

BUT! After you ride them a bit I need your opinion because I'm trying to decide between fox and elka. Thanks man.

Take a pic from rhe rear of the machine. Does the tires have the same angle as before?

Both rear tires still lay in... I'm sure I could raise the preload slightly and fix it... not sure it matters. Just annoying.

Mine sits like that as well

Two yeti 45s full of ice and your choice drink. Or take out some preload.

They sit the wrong way... we would need to add some preload... at least mine I would.

In that case 2 yetis and double the preload.

Curses to you Nick. I never noticed my rear camber till you started posting about it. Now it bugs me.

Mine has negative camber too. Didn't really notice it that bad till I put those taller narrow tires on. Might have to get the rear SATV arms just for the adjustable camber.

It's like a European sports car. Makes it handle better.

Installed my under dash storage tonight. Takes literally 10 minutes. Pretty awesome.

I'm still undecided on the underdash storage mod! I think to myself...What would i use it for? And honestly can't think of anything I would put down there with the exception of trash! But then again I very seldom use it for working!

I keep gloves, some small towels and stuff with me all the time and my wife always wants to bring snacks and crap. Worth it for me. Easy storage and out of the way. Totally made sense after I saw some guys at the takeover with it.
