I started getting ready for the weekend coming up at royal blue. I don’t know why I waited so long to cut a hole to have easier access to the winch.
I also added two USB ports inside the glove box for charging camera batteries or someone else’s phone.
I’ve been traveling out of the country today through Friday. So I only have Saturday to get ready before I head back up to royal blue Sunday. I went a head and started packing.
My six-year-old will be in his harness in the middle seat up front and the three-year-old will be in his car seat in the back. That left just enough room to carry my toolbox, spare tire, cooler and dry box.

They have worked great. I drilled them out so that they would except the factory bolts. In some locations I was required to change to a longer bolt. Most of the factory bolts have a shoulder on them which makes them too big to go through the plate on the D ring. The threads fit easily.

One other thing, order more than you think you need. I bought six the first time to see if I like them, then I ordered 20 for the second time and use them all up. So recently ordered 16 more and I have a few left over

I’ve got the Honda bed extender but it’s a little heavy. I think the JEI bed extender is also just as heavy if not heavier. I would like to do a custom aluminum bed extender that attaches to the roll cage so it’s wider. I wish I knew somebody that knew how to weld aluminum and also had a bender!

From looking at your rig It never crossed my mind that you are concerned about weight.

Lol, very funny! I just try to keep the weight low. I had three roof lights that I removed and also had overhead gun rack and overhead storage bags that I removed.
It makes me sick when I drive the farm rig and feel how light weight and crisp the acceleration is compared to mine.

I haven’t said much about the Elka stage 3 I’m running now. I swapped these for the Walker Evans and there doesn’t seem to be much difference. The only difference is that I ordered these with 250# front springs and 275# rear springs for the weight of my vehicle. I’ve been meaning to say that they are perfectly fine for a P1000 and a great improvement over stock.
They have really worked good and gave me no problem. I pushed them hard a couple weeks ago at RRB. I had camping gear for two and two passengers for most of the time. It was nice to add a little preload and compression adjustment.
I would say to any of you guys that you can’t go wrong with these. They are simple to adjust since they have only one knob. Sure the stage 4 or 5 are better but not everyone wants several knobs to adjust and calibrate. Maybe if we had 20” of travel it might be worth it to me.

And here’s some from a month or so ago.

Yeah, the super ATV arms don’t have lift built into them. The CATVOS I’ve got in the front do. I added a lot preload to get the back up level.

I'm liking that hole for the winch access. I may do that myself.
