I know what you mean. Bought some crap last night for the stereo, just got done with the HMF and Dobeck, and have arched A arms on the brain.

Just so many possibilities! You know you guys really are bad influences and it doesn’t help that I am so easily influenced

-22 degrees today with the windchill and wires are too stiff to finish wiring up the lights so figured I’d address rattles in the storage box...

Lol, that box rattle gets old after a while! I still may remove the two upper hinges if it rattles or try some adhesive backed rubber straps. Although it may be nice to have the ability to secure your gear while away! Any way those were my thoughts when I considered placement. Nice job on yours! I didn’t consider mounting like you did on your upper mount but I like it!

And even more importantly my Hondasxs club decals arrived

If it were only 70 degrees warmer

 

[Eltobgi]

Oil change kit and plugs arrived, along with $16 Honda decal kit from Rocky Mountain Atv.

Some guys are adamantly opposed to having any stickers on their ride, I have a ton of stickers in and on my machine. What's funny is I have a pile on the bench that's way more than what I have put on.

Each sticker represents a mod which was installed! I applied all of the stickers just prior to Takeover ‘17! Of course I had more mods than stickers even then and haven’t applied anything since! I do have a plan for the looks of the mini BEAST, but that project will not happen until spring-summer and will limit the amount of stickers I am able to install. I do believe in personalizing and setting my build apart from others! But really I can’t wait to see what I come up with

Exactly! I try to show what the machine is equipped with. Can't stand when you don't get a sticker with a purchase, especially an expensive one. I had to call WE and SSV and request them because they weren't in the box. What's funny is that when you do call you end up getting a ton of them. Also don't like when they're too big, had to cut the Torq Locker decal down due to being huge.
I can't wait to see what you come up with either.

 

[Eltobgi]

Home made whips....check

 

[Eltobgi]

What do you do if you are faced with extreme life threatening cold...

You start up your P5 and try and get it stuck

Mission accomplished

About a foot deep hard packed three wheel drive was almost enough. A little shoveling and she pulled out screaming in second!

 

[Todd627]

Get that locker installed!

 

[Eltobgi]

I now have an experience to gauge the impact of the locker once installed, lol. I was climbing a hill by the house with about 12” packed snow and had a little trouble making it up the hill. I may be able to install it in a few days and will try her out and report back!

Today’s ride reminded me of the creek ride at RRB when I ran the BEAST with the front driver side axle missing.

 

[Mudder]

Display them proudly.

 

[Eltobgi]

Damn...I am glad this job is done! Roughly 4 1/2 hrs Half that time was easily removing snow and Ice and draining and filling Diff, oh and looking for a new punch after breaking the only one close to the size I needed ended up using a cotter pin

Can’t wait to test her out

 

[CumminsPusher]

you going straight for the same spot as the other night?

 

[Eltobgi]

you going straight for the same spot as the other night?

Yes sir I am! It is the only way to test the new ability of the mini BEAST. I will hook up the winch for sure and grab some straps because I do intent on getting her stuck again. I say if you not getting stuck your not trying hard enough.

I am going to say it will plow right through that snow now.........easy peasy!
