Also a couple of pics from Sat and @my99svt getting into a little trouble... going up a trail he got well you’ll see below. Note that his roll cage was stuck on a rock on the drivers side preventing movement

Kinda like a human centipedeTry climbing up with one leg... good thing Tim pulled me up. Haha. He would pull me up and I would stop then he would climb some more and pull me again! Lol. [HASHTAG]#CrippleLife[/HASHTAG]

He is putting in some weld nuts for the skid plate (since I ripped out my self tappers when we rode Tackett) and helping brace up the underside.
He’s swell like that...In progress on a changing out a rear dif seal to the drive shaft. Huge Thanks to @joeymt33 who walked me through the procedure and what I would encounter.
Some pics - I had to take a break but about to put it all back together

So which ones did you go with - gen 1 or 2, metal or fox o-ring?Back Somewhere around the Overland adventure (maybe even before) I recognized that something was off with the way my honda was riding but I could not quite place it. While I am still not sure I found "it" I discovered that my Fox shocks appeared to be really low on nitrogen. Basically what was happening is after riding (at some speed) over rough terrain a couple of my shock would make a "pop" or 'bop" sound leading me to believe that I might need to put limiting straps on as if they might be overextending at certain points... Seems that is a classic symptom of needing additional nitrogen.
Seeing some of the talon guys have issue with their fox shocks leaking nitrogen due to the rubber seal on fox shocks I just added in these
reservoir replacement end caps on to my shocks and had them recharged. - these end caps have Schrader valves which are not prone to leaks and much easier to recharge

Sure enough the right front shock (where the noise was most noticeable) did not have much gas in them at all (when released) and my rears were probably at half of what they needed. I just installed the shocks back on my honda last night so have not had a chance to take for a ride and test out - So while I am confident that the shock needed the charge I don't yet know 100% if this solves my issue

also adds in a little more volume of gas that may or may not help out with cooling
I'm definitely following this. I had the same happening on the front shocks of mine. I read someone said they backed off preload and it quit. I backed off 1/2 inch of preload last week and made the ground clearance even with the rear. I have yet to ride it yet and see if it's still making that sound.Back Somewhere around the Overland adventure (maybe even before) I recognized that something was off with the way my honda was riding but I could not quite place it.

Gen 2, 2in. I ordered the fox o ring.So which ones did you go with - gen 1 or 2, metal or fox o-ring?

Yep - Mine are the Metal cap but I did order the O ring capGen 2, 2in. I ordered the fox o ring.

When I went to an aftermarket spring, I lost about 1/2" via the preload setting and it did seem to reduce the amount I hear the bang, which to me seems to come from my passenger front the most, but I do still hear it.I'm definitely following this.

I like that I've been look for like the extra top to do same thing with my craftman boxesGoing to the Medium box - which again is about the same internal height as the medium Rigid box but again is deeper as illustrated in the pics below - While on the outside the rigid box is taller it still has basically same internal height. You can see the difference in the dept on the side profile.

Comes with one tray (that I currently have removed)

I am working on an internal divider for this box to help stabilize everything - I primarily use this box for holding trail snacks and extra jacket etc during normal use. On Overland journeys I will pack it out more.

Picture of it installed in the back of the honda - one think i will call out is that I really like the bars on the corner - I feel I could run a cable through them to the grab bar on the front of the Dump bed for extra security if leaving them in there - the boxes have a reinforced place for a lock - I am not naive where there is a will there is a way but anything to slow them down and make noise
