Mine did, just make sure it's in the tightest position before you start to crimp it. Definitely better than a hose clamp, stripped one out trying it as a temporary fix while these were in the mail.
I’ve replaced mine with this type.. but you have to have the banding tool. I don’t love them but they’re still holding

You do not need a banding tool. Vise grips on the end and a regular screw driver between it and the clamp. Twist the screwdriver and reset a couple times and fold over the last time.

It's come up a couple times that I have a SuperATV half windshield with a Honda center support. I never got a good photo of it last year.

My next big upgrade was tires and shocks. I ended up with 28x10x14 Quadboss QBT846 tires on all 4 corners. They sit about 1" taller than stock and about the same width as the stock rear tires

This brings me to one of my favorite mods. The parking brake. I "pioneered" the manual parking brake idea on the Pioneer 1000. I made a small bracket that attaches to the brake pedal pivot mount and allows a through hole toggle to clamp against the brake pedal to apply all 4 brakes. This is a mechanical means of apply brake force to each tire without modification to the stock brake system. For me this have proven to be great for winching, grade holding and parking on my trailer.

Here's a break down of the parts

I agree that it's a really cool idea and a neat modification for our machines. The problem is, it's a 1 and done kind of part, it fits this machine but it mimics the components available for other machines. I'm alright with sharing the idea with others but I don't see it as a huge money maker for myself.

I'm looking forward to a bit more night riding next year. My 12" Rough Country LED and the OEM head lights have a lot of height and depth but they are not a wide pattern for woods riding or rock crawling. Luckily the RD bumper offers a good place to mount 2 8" Rough Country light bars to add some width

I haven't seen much about shock straps on here but I'm very happy with them. I use 1 on each corner and they keep my Pioneer in place. You might be turned off by the price but they are a heavy duty strap and you never have to think about them being loose. I use the front tie downs and my tiger tail as anchor points

Made my own rear door bushings today and cut my driver's side rear door for storage. Still waiting on my side panel quick release buttons. I bought 4 RB3 bushings when they first came out and they are an improvement over stock but they don't fit as tight as the new bushings. I'll have to see how they compare over time.

I'm surprised how much room the door has inside. I need to pick up a waterproof bag but the door storage will be used for extra straps and extra winch line.

Congrats on the door storage! It’s a life changer for sure.

I haven’t seen those. Look good for sure. I use Mac’s straps but they don’t have that tensioning band.

Nice cut- yea those doors will hold a lot, I have even used to store raingear etc. Walmart had some cheap dry bags You can get cheap 3 pack (different sizes ) for about $7 I believe and a better med size bag for about $6. So far they have done good for me although 1 has got a hole in it. I have found I like multiple smaller bags in a door as it helps to make the best use of the space and I don’t have to get everything out.
