Talon TerryH's 1000 X build.....

[CID]

Looks muddy, how's the RokBlokz working out for ya?

I rode 75 miles and it rained for 3/4 of those. I was damn glad you pointed me at the RokBlokz, thanks, Buddy. The SATV flip up windshield also represented itself well.

Cooler rack worked perfectly yesterday. Also ran the "heavy" Bandit spring set with the sway bar disconnected and it was sooo much better for how and what we ride. Had a great day with friends riding the trails and taking in the amazing beauty of creation.

Hello Terry H from North Ga. I took your advice months ago about the Bandit tender springs but because of all the craziness going on they were just put back in stock last week. Installed them today and just with a 5 minute ride can tell the rear is 100% better!! Will install the fronts on the weekend. Thanks for the advice and maybe I can slowly start to do more intense upgrades now!!

Hey Terry. How much space do you have with your tractor supply box and SATV tailgate. wondering if i could fit a soft cooler there and not let it take up so much room in my box. I looked at several other tailgates JEI and Dirt road fab but man the are pricey. Either doing a SATV or a HMF swing out but its pricey too.

Awesome! Amazing difference for such a seemingly small change.

There's about 8" between the box and the bed enclosure.

Watch the 39 year mark, things can get a little dicey!

Guessing it'll be ok considering what she put up with for the first 20 years or so.

Little dirty fun at Buffalo Ranch in Kingston, Ar. Including me wedging the Talon between 2 trees on the go around. lol...

As most of you know, we've been testing springs for Ted over at Bandit UTV Suspensions pretty much ever since we got the Talon. Their tender springs really helped the X ride a ton better but they are putting together full spring kits now and asked us to help dial in spring rates for their heavy kit. We've been experimenting with different springs for the past couple of months and I think we have hit on a great combination for those of us with aftermarket cages, big coolers, winches, 2nd batteries and the like. Much more plush overall. The rear seems to always be the problem but now the rear reacts much like the front. Ride quality greatly improved without sacrificing ground clearance. For us, this spring kit works perfectly without the sway bar also. Ted will have the heavy kit up on their site as soon as he has inventory. Very grateful to have been a part of figuring this all out. Have learned a ton.

Found a good fix for the little bit too short door stoppers that Honda gave us. I've tried a couple other things but this fixed the rattle for good. Small rubber cutting board feet from Amazon. Just screwed the bumper to the raised portion of the inner door panel that contacts the stopper and adjusted the stopper as necc.

I'm going to order these today. I remembered seeing this posted a few months ago and it took me a while, but I found it this morning. Great idea!
