P1000m5 Rock Donkey v2 Long Travel

I use the wetsounds in the garage for music so I have a 5amp battery tender. Keeping a cord stretched across the garage was annoying it was always in the way.

$25 for the cheapest HD cord reel I cut the ends off and soldered SAE 2 way on each end. Now it’s up and out of the way.

Bought this booster seat for kiddo in the car. As I was putting it together it looked like it’d fit in front seat of pioneer with the retractable harnesses.

It’s a near perfect fit. The red loop on the outside will have to be unscrewed and removed because of where I mounted the retractor it causes it to bind. The armrests catch the belt adjusters but they are removable and this pic was after I had it fully assembled and ready to go in wife’s car.

the kiddo stayed put for a kiddo level spirited ride around the homestead. So there’s been another one ordered from amazon for $60

Got fed up with driving to and paying Dicks to fill my CO2 tanks. Got the 20lb tank from a buddy and the refill kit from Amazon.

PSA: if you change your tie rods without taking the rack out and replacing the lock ring correctly (like most people do) check your tie rods.

I have had 2-3 now back out of the end of the rack and get loose. I’m no weakling and have been tightening them down but they’ve still been backing out, it’s be REAL bad if it backed out in the wrong place at the wrong speed.

Good to know. Is the correct way to ding the lock ring to prevent it from turning? I've only replaced one trail side

yeah but it’s almost impossible to get to to ding correctly.

Yep, that's what I figured (and noticed) when we changed it. Thanks

I’m not a fan of the crow foot wrench only for this reason. The crow foot is great for speed but I always finish tightening down with a 12” adjustable wrench. I get it a lot tighter with a wrench and haven’t had one back out.

It will be interesting to see if yours back out now that I put them both back on super tight.

I use a crow foot on a half in ratchet. Can get it pretty tight not using an extension.

I haven’t ever used the crows foot on mine to tighten it’s always been that 12” adjustable I keep in the tool kit that you used. I JUST bought the crow foot.

@joeymt33 is it easier to do on a lift?

Maybe but I’ve changed far more on the ground. Turd!

Lol, it was a serious question. Was wondering if getting it tight and getting the crimp on the washer was easier on a lift since my buddy has one.
