The Talon Black Hole!

[Huntndogs]

I think these two open ports on the floorboard are the portals to the Talon Black Hole where all things dropped go. Especially the small parts that you only have enough of to complete the task. Someday when I drop the skidplate I will fill a bucket with all the lost connectors, nuts, washers and plastic push pins that collect there. Ugh!

If someone can make custom plastic plugs will pay for those. Some the major heat comes from there

Black gorilla tape works for me

Me too! Some 3d printed plugs would be awesome. Need those holes to be open for washing. Plugs that could be removed and then put back after would be the perfect solution.

I dropped my key down the shifter holes. I removed the skid plate on one side to reach up to retrieve my key. My buddy had the floor drain cover off his RZR. He had a ratchet strap on the floor. It fell out the hole, worked it way back on the skid plate and wrapped around the axle destroying the axle boot.

You guys are funny! My first 3d printer will be arriving next Thursday (July 7). Maybe I'll be able to cook something up to plug these holes. I've got a lot of learning to do! My daughter also has big plans for this machine! She didn't understand why I wanted a printer until I showed her the Thingiverse website. Now she has all kinds of ideas and saved projects!!

I Gorilla taped over the holes for the ride yesterday. Definitely kept some heat out but I personally would much prefer someone with the knowledge, skills and equipment to 3d print some plugs or whatever so I won't have to un-tape every time I wash and then retape. Hopefully there will be such a person out there somewhere.

I just taped mine up today for a dusty ride in Nevada on the 16th.

Where about are you headed in Nevada? Yes it will be a dusty ride!

I did about 30 miles on the 4th of July in northern Nevada (Johnson Lane area) and it was very dusty! My Talon looked as if I was following someone close for those 30 miles but there was nobody in front of me!

You could get a pack of those cheap foam anti-stress mats or whatever they call them from Harbor Freight and cut a few squares that would pressure fit in there. Hell you could make 500 of them from one pack and it wouldn't hurt your feelings if it fell out.

@Nevada Notch we are going to Mina for the yearly Poker Run. They usually have it the second weekend in June. Not sure why they pushed it out a month, going to be hotter. Come join in. July 16th.

I've heard of that Johnson lane area, never been there. I have friends that live in Stagecoach. Going to meet up with them there on Thursday, then 4 of us (couples/rigs) are going to carravan into Mina on Friday.

 

[Nevada Notch]

Ah yes, Stagecoach, gateway to Dayton! LOL Both are very small towns.

I've been through Mina probably 50 times but never stopped. I have family in Phoenix so I go through Mina on the way there and back. That is a very sparsely populated area of Nevada. A lot of old copper mining in the area thus I'm guessing how the town got it's name. Should be an interesting ride. Bring plenty of water, it's gonna be HOT!

Johnson lane area has a lot more vegetation such as pine nut trees and some beautiful canyons. My avatar is actually taken at the entrance to Johnson Lane! Another great place to go play is sand mountain which is about 60 miles west of stagecoach. Nevada is an off roading paradise! 85% of the state is BLM land.

Enjoy you're poker run and take too many pics and post them!

If you ever decide you want to try out Johnson Lane or Sand Mountain give me a shout!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I lost both push pins and screws down those damn holes! I someone comes up with a removable insert for them I'll buy some!

This is our 3rd time to Mina for the Poker run. Yes.....lots of country around Mina to explore. We will have plenty of water.
They usually have this Poker Run the second weekend in June, the weather isn't to bad then, rained on us one day, the day after the poker run.
I've been by Sand Mountain several times, don't care too much for riding in the sand. Two months ago we went to Cold Springs Station, nice country there to ride in. I like Nevada in the fall and spring to ride. If next year they have the Mina Poker run in June, I might have to pass, getting pretty warm by then. Suppose to be 101 degrees on the 16th. I'll try to get an early start.
