Had to take advantage of the nice weather today and give the Beast some TLC...

Started by finally replacing the steering arm that I hammered straight about a year ago, lol. Nothing wrong with, but figured it was time!


Here is the new one ready to installed. Greased everything up and finally installed the steering stops gifted to me by @ohanacreek a while back. Thanks buddy!

Got the new lower aarms installed and figured I would do a side by side pic to compare...
Some scratches but really not that bad...

The under side

A pic to show the difference between the OEM and Super ATV HD ball joint, which is slightly taller as you can see.

 

[Eltobgi]

Damn the new ones are way too clean
I hope no one notices

 

[Eltobgi]

And now to inspect the old...

Unscrewed one and then the other

And the checked the other side...

Wasn’t as bad as you can see.

Anyone else find water in their a arms

For the life of me I can’t figure out how the hell it got in there

 

[Eltobgi]

After examining the old I see some stress on the threads but with a little Teflon tape and or loc tite these will be great for spares! I hope I never need them. Box em up for safe keeping, lol

I had water in mine as well. After my tumble they replaced it but I only replaced this end it screwed in fairly ok.

I wish I had known about their balljoints awhile back those look really good!
Great information

I still remember the conversation we had years ago about how someday our rigs were going to come out of the woods all lit the hell up, then at Coalmont it finally happened.The water and the bling looked so good. This site has sure brought a lot of us together.

Yeah, that was really cool! Coalmont was a hell of an experience! I still remember crossing the river thinking it was a terrible idea. But after I made it you followed! Could have ended badly! That was a hell of a good time. That picture you are describing is one of my all time favorites! When you pulled puddle jumper up to the waterfall and turned your colored lights and the pic that resulted was awesome! Wish I could ride with you guys more! Some day!

@CumminsPusher do you still have the waterfall pics?

 

[CumminsPusher]

Ah...yes of course! If I lost those I’d be pissed!
Ya that river was f’n deep. I didn’t want to do it I’m not much for deep water. It was the Catalina f***ing Winemixer so screw it lol.

Reminds me of a song, Come together, right now, think it was a Garth Brooks song! HA!

Mine too. We broke a lot of crap that weekend but it was worth it. At least we were trouble free at Coalmont and other then whips same at Mary’s Ridge.
