Amazon has a new one for 240

I like the XE because it can be powered and still be waterproof

Yea, I wished they had just improved on this model rather than changing the housing when they changed models.

I am sure the 360 cameras will be great but for now I can’t get used to it

I wanted a VIRB 360 but DANG at the price.

During cleanup from riding yesterday I noticed the SuperATV a-arms JUST rub the inner beadlock at full lock. I took a grinder to the under rim and cleaned the sharp edge off. Then hit the SATV arm and took about 3/16 of an inch off that corner and now there’s plenty of clearance at full lock.

Good catch! I bet that would be razor sharp after rubbing for a hundred miles.

It only rubs at full lock and suspension fully compressed but it was razor sharp just a 1000cc 4WD lathe.

Had the clutch update done Friday.

Did some work around the house and up at our gate this afternoon and took my trails to save the driveway since it’s been raining so much around here.

It definitely engages differently vs before the update. It’s smoother on takeoff and shifting but when it’s not fully warmed up it will grab and let loose it never did that before. Not a shudder it grabs then lets go althogether.

I had a long todo list to get done but I’m going to try to reinitialize the clutch.

Side note with the rear floorboard plastic re-installed the exhaust volume is probably 50% less in the cab.

Had a few mins to mess around today.

Got the first speed run in since I put the Blackwaters on. On the dash I could only get 61mph out of her but the Drive60 GPS I have for trail maps and my VIRB XE(card messed up and wouldn’t record) not said 68mph which is about right considering the stock tires were 25.25” at 12psi and the Blackwaters are 28.5” at 8psi.(measured on the machine)
1:1.128 ratio change.

That’s with a full windshield on. I’m wondering what it’s going to be in the spring with no windshield.

I like it, it’s not as wound up at 55 GPS speed / 48 on dash.

First time I ran 30s I was reading 58 and 67 gps. With more to go. It was scary at that speed. Now I've got power commander and exhaust it may just hit 70.

Oh its plenty but wasn’t scary... on of the tires is bad out of balance but I don’t really care how often am I at any kind of speed for more than a mile, I may take them to a tire shop and have them balanced.

I was on an old railroad bed ! But 60 is more than plenty

I don't like the glass beads for balance (or the home remedy bb's or snake oil eggs).
Have not tried it yet but something like this goes in my truck next time the mud tires need balanced.
Rubber granules stick to the insides of the tire but shake lose and redistribute if there is any vibration.

If I ever get spunky and decide taking a beadlock loose is a good idea I may try that.

If I were keeping my truck I’d get some and put in my tires.

I’m using centramatics on my dually. The original expense is high, but I just leave them on there and never rebalance again.

I’m gonna pick up a used 350/3500 in the next year, I remember I’ll be talking to you about that.

I had a jacked up Chevy with 35" tires. Went to Wal-Mart and bought 4 jars of the plastic air soft pellets. Dumped one in each tire and it worked fantastic!

How big a whole did you have to cut?

You got any more Rock Donkey Racing T shirts? Proper homage to your build title.

I was thinking about that the other day.

I never knew about that until you posted it originally. I tried to get in touch with them but no answer if @Hondasxs can help me out I’ll make a couple I like the Rat Fink styling going on there.

 

[ohanacreek]

Anyone tried one of these?

I'm considering dumping the 40" and the cubes for just one of these, I think the 40" is overkill for me and the flood cubes are more of a spot light at 15-20 feet than I'd prefer

Lol I poured them in when I mounted them new
