Vid from first outing with the Rear Spacers. Lovell Canyon-Red Rock Trail - Pahrump Nevada.

They made a VERY noticeable difference. I was able to take a lot more liberties on this ride.

A short vid of rocky section - a P1000 first them Sneaker on a line picked to fit the shorter wheelbase. Then a Group Parade - 2 Hondas, a Polaris, and 2 Can Ams.

Obligitory Sunset

I think I got this right but did it in a hurry.

Did they make the ride softer?

@DG Rider

I should come down for a ride or two with ya' either before or after the summer heat. I'm in a Cyclone toy hauler (self contained-no hookups needed) so I would need pointing at a dispersed camp spot where you want to ride. Any interest in this?

Yes DG Rider, they did make a noticeable difference. Well worth the $45 or so. Only took 20 minutes to install using air tools and a floor jack. I would definitely do it again. I'm currently running 4.5 psi front 5.5 psi rear-that also helps with the ride. The improvement on tippyness was worth it all by itself though. I'm definitely going to replace wheels with a 2" backspace/5' frontspace rim set on all four corners. That will add another four inches of wheelbase width and another big improvement in ride quality. I'll be at "55 inches overall on all four corners and will run 28" x 11" Bighorn 2.0 all the way around.

I think those are going to rub? I have 26 x 11 2.0's on the front with 5+2's. Had 1" spacers on and it rubbed, had to take the spacers off.

@trigger...I'm going to try 2+5's. Same numbers but swapped the offset positions. I will cut things for clearance if I have to. LOL.

I see, thought it may have been a type O on the offset. 28's are still going to be a squeeze though. I wanted to go with those as well but after taking some measurements...keep us in the loop Bill.

Looks much more stable. Nice to see all the tires spinning now. You liking it all?

The locker made a different machine out of it like you n I knew it would (THEY ALWAYS DO). I definitely get more liberties with the spacer addition. Just makes me sure I'm poking out the wheels even more when I get these 25" BH 2.0s worn down a bit more. down to around 50% already. Sneaker is approaching 3000 miles now. Had to replace the controller for the sound bar today. A switch went bad. No charge for the part - three year warranty since it was purchased at Amazo. - who knew? - I didn't. Yea Boss Audio - yea CP for suggesting that sound bar. The guys I rode with last weekend said they were BLOWN AWAY at what a P500 could do. (Their words not mine)

Very cool! I wasn’t aware of that Amazon deal, how’d you go about warranty?

Just called on phone. I though it was out of warranty (bought 10/17) and the guy in (India I think) told me about the extra 2 years on the warranty. So Instead of me paying $35 for the controller shipped - they sent it for free after I emailed a pic of Invoice and plug style at the sound bar. Easy Peasy! And not just Amazon... I think it's applicable for all their Major distributors. But they only extend one time. No second chance.

Sorry...missed this Bill.
Yeah...I'd be interested in a ride with ya. Are you still in Gold Canyon?
Since coming back to AZ, I've only ridden over in Florence junction/box canyon area. We may have to wait until after the heat at this point. Was pretty warm over there last Saturday.

Have you tried seven springs/sheeps crossing? its a nice ride

I hope to try them all eventually.

I hope to try them all eventually.

You can also ride out off 238 in Maricopa. its nice but no water.

I was in Gold Canyon area last winter's end. Did you see the Montana Vid on my channel? (Channel = WillyBill Rides) I live just north of Salt Lake City. LOL. The whole idea is to come where it's warmer when it's cold up here. BTW...it's snow here right now!!! No joke. We are from Florida so our idea of hot is a bit different from other folks.
