I agree. Straightening might work in a pinch but I promise you it will bend again on the next trip out. Been there many a time.

wow that is madness it bent that far and didn't break! Didn't even break when you unbent it.. that is really impressive.
Good advice! I looked the tie rod up on partsfish and they are only like $22 I think it was. I will order a couple actually and install a brand new one, and have a brand new one on standby for the next time. Thanks!

I straightened one and ran it for months with no issues! I did eventually replace it with a new one but it is still straight and is carried for a spare
From my experience I would have 2 or 3 extra, especially for the long weekend trips!Good advice! I looked the tie rod up on partsfish and they are only like $22 I think it was. I will order a couple actually and install a brand new one, and have a brand new one on standby for the next time. Thanks!

Yes I will definetly get extras. Most places we ride, if something breaks it is just a short drive or tow back to the truck and replace or fix what is wrong and then you're off again, no biggie. But I suppose if that tie rod had bent while we were up in the mountains at RRB 3 hours away from camp, that would have been a royal pain. I will order new ones, and put a new one on the machine, and have a new spare, and have the one that I straightened out for another spare.

If you do decide to go through the cup holder I made a mount plate for mine and got about $60 in the whole snorkel itself I don’t live to far it looks like. I’m in the melrose are if you need some help
Wow that looks nice! Thanks for the pics. I actually live in Orange Heights. You could throw a rock from my house and hit the intersection of 301 and 26. We should get together and ride sometime.
Thanks and your welcome. For sure we ride the mondecks in palatka almost every weekend and ol’ Waller on a regular.
Ive always wanted to hit up Mondex. Ive heard its super wet out there. My buddy Chris Hall always goes out there.
Yeah it can get wet. I see you like hogwaller it’s pretty much the free version
Yeah Hogwaller is ok. It used to be our go-to place, it's just gotten too crowded though. We like 10k also over in east Palatka
Yeah that’s how we feel about Waller and I ain’t been out to 10k in 15 plus years maybe
One thing I can say about Hogwaller is that they dang sure invest money back into the property. We started going there when there was just 2 showerheads nailed to a wood fence and you stood on pallets to take a shower after mudding all day. Now they've got shower houses, restaurant, vendors, 30 amp and 50 amp camp sites, cabins, music stage, bought more property next door, etc.. I remember back in the day though we would go set up camp on a Thursday night on an ATV only weekend, and there was times we only seen a dozen other people all weekend. That was back in the 4 wheeler days when you could go everywhere out there on little 25" tires. Now 30s are considered small and you better pick your path carefully or youll be stuck like chuck.
Lol all true words I was there the very first weekend so I know what you saying. They have for sure put money back into it but I bet ‘ol skeet Alford has million dollar months out there
Hey Justin Linnemann aka @knuckledeep just called me and I told him I was talking with Fl-Cracker on hondasxs and that you only lived in the next town over from me. Justin said, " Oh yeah thats Garrett, we've rode with him remember?" Lol..Garrett Im sorry buddy, I wasnt adding 2 and 2 together. Lol!
