Is it waterproof? 🤔 I think it's Lifetime maps that offers one that is but with their 'program' it's 7 or $800. :oops:

It's not but we have it in a case. Haven't had any issues at all with it. We have less than $200 in the whole setup. Most of the time now we use the free version of Maprika.

Terry, you definitely have a one of a kind. I hope to see you out on the trails. I picked up my Talon about a month ago. I took it to Moccasin gap for a shake down run. Now I’m ordering stuff left and right getting ready for my next ride.

Got the rest of the rock lights installed. I think the light project it turned out pretty well. All in good fun anyway. Got the wife to help so we could show the 3rd brake light feature of the chase bar. Used the Hondasxs.com 3rd brake light harness for the trigger. Worked perfectly. I also like that even with all of the accessories I did not have to cut or splice into the factory harness at all.

Link to the brake light harness: Honda Talon 3rd Brake Light Pigtail

Walk around vid on my channel:

This is my first year with a SxS and I'm really starting to like this look. 😍 It's been 10 months, how's the reliability/durability been, I really don't want a maintenance nightmare. In your environment, are the whips bendy?

Can you pick one color or does it constantly cycle through all of them?

I did have the low gear issue. Honestly, it was probably my fault for slamming it in forward and reverse when I was very badly stuck. It was promptly replaced by my dealer under warranty. Have not had any other issues at all other than the thing keeps sucking up my money buying goodies. lol... The mini whips are not super flexible but are crazy tough. We've whacked them on many a tree but no damage at all.

We decided to take the toy hauler plunge. Ordered a Grand Design 31G. 13' garage, party deck, rear 3 season wall, onboard genset, half bath in the garage, 2 A/C's etc... Won't have it here until December but here's some pics. We are looking so forward to it!

When you go to pick it up might take 5 gallons of gas for the auxiliary gas tank and make sure it will pump it back into the can, Think it was Monties RV that wasn't wired correctly and couldn't get the gas out of the tank, one of our club members fixed it at the site and Montie was able to refuel. You also may want to check with @Montecresto, if I remember right they installed the wrong 5th wheel and had some truck cab interference issues?

It's a bumper pull, not a fifth wheel. And I don't need an island sink for Pop Tarts and Spaghetti-O's. :cool:

I just took for granted it is a 5th wheel, whoops. I'd still check out the gas pump.

We ordered from a local dealer. I'm sure there will be a few things to address. The genset runs off that same fuel tank so will definitely have fuel in it and will check the pump.
