I mounted a 12” light bar on the front bumper. Pics are above. Roof would be an easy place to mount or a custom bracket could be made to mount around windshield.

Can’t wait. Be there around noon on Thursday.
Honda Lower Doors
One more last minute addition before Takeover. My lower doors just came in so I was able to add them before heading out.
This is the first Honda accessory that I am dissapointed in. It is a pain cutting and fitting the door frame to the original. You have to cut three spots in bottom of original door to attach lower. Honda did put marking on door but some needed to be a lot larger. First door took me forever to cut and fit. Second door did go much faster. They look good and seem fairly sturdy, just not real happy about how they get attached to upper. I'll need to get more pics, they took longer to install than anticipated and in my frustration I only got one picture. I'll get more later.

Awesome setup. I put the door panels on. Kind of tedious like you said. Mine dont seal to the frame when the door is closed. The drivers side is out about 1/4” from the bumper on the panel the other side is about 3/8. Not sure what can be done about it. Do your door bumpers hit the frame?
Also. Thoughts on the infinity sound bar? Loud enough?

Yes. Mine do not sit perfect either, but I haven’t noticed any rattling from them and the keep mud from accumulating
Love the infinity soundbar. Not a lot of bass, but great sound otherwise. Plenty loud, I think 1/2 volume is typically where I have it. Occasionally will turn up more, but no way I could handle full volume for very long.

When I installed my lower door inserts, they did not contact the rubber bumper. I had to shim the the upper mounting points about 3/16" to force the bottom in.
They now touch and is much better, no movement.
Next I need to address the large gaps around them and the rest of the door for dust control...DRK

Update. Since takeover the Talon hasnt made it out of the garage except some trips around the neighborhood. Planning a trip to Rush Offroad the last weekend of June. Looking to make a few more upgrades. Skid plate first, then softer springs for shocks and larger tires.
Great. Hope you got it a while back. Price has really climbed back up on them since. Supply must be running out.
Yup. Grabbed it at $399. Noticed a bunch of sites were out of stock so pushed the Mrs. to decide if thats the way she wanted to go before the price jumped up.
I see they are $699-$799. YIKES!

I'm interested in your opinion of the spring upgrade after you put some time on them. I am not at all impressed with my ride quality on my X. I came from a Can Am 50" machine that rode a ton better than my Honda and I am weighing the options on doing some suspension softening. My herniated disc surgery from 25 years ago still makes my lower back get tender when I am treating it badly, so I gotta get that upgrade pretty soon.

Shock Therapy now have the spring kits listed on their web site. No mention of shock valving like another member had done to his X.
