I didn't know that is where they were made. Glad I went with Fox.

I decided to go with the better shock,regardless of where it is made

I'm not so sure they are better (for what I wanted) and it matters to me where they are made.

 

[rickoshea]

i wanted more adjustability to compensate for my selflevel rears. fox qs3 don't match up to 30 click elkas.

 

[rickoshea]

the funny thing is,i tried to order them on the Elka site,and they were crazy expensive,so i got them from ishok in the U.S. go figure.

I know this is a little out of line for this topic, but people choosing between Elka and Fox shocks reminds me of when iphone and Droid cell phones were getting started. The people that selected Droid (Elka) were Droid to the death. The people that went with iphone (Fox) were iphone to the death. Well that's all I have to say about that so I must go because I left my iphone laying on the seat of the Pioneer LE. Peace!

huh???

@snuffnwhisky did a similar snorkel setup a few years ago on his. It grabbed A LOT of dirty air. I'll have to see if I can find the picture of his air filter. He had filters on the snorkel tubes as well.

Edit - Found it

Rickoshea, Pioneer 1000 LE's come from Honda with Fox shocks. So it was more or less saying that I use an iphone and I have Fox shocks, with out actually say those works. I know, it was dumb.

 

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

But I have an LE and Fox Shocks and Droid, so?
I get your analogy man. But I've never had both shocks on my machine to accurately comment on one being better over the other.

Replaced oem bighorns with Talon oem rear wheels and tires On all four corners.

Also added the trail armor skid plate kit.

Thank you, it Definitely gave me a little wider stance and more clearance.

today i had the choice of hauling a couple group 31 agm deep cycle batteries down to the boat and installing them,or painting the shift letters on the pioneer,so i opted to cobble together a bracket to mount my pair of w king bluetooth speakers in the pioneer with bits and pieces i had lying around in my shop.very happy with the end result,it seems to be very study and just might hold up to my driving style.now if my rear brake pads would show up i'd be a happy man.it looks sad sitting in the garage on jack stands and no tires.the one downside to living in a small town,nobody has what i need in stock,always "on order" for everything.

I'm trying to save some space and still bring what is needed. I found I was short tow parts or tree savers etc. I have it all in a large ammo box, but that takes a fair amount of space. So I decided that I'd web things up. Mounted the hi-lift under rear bumper and the tow accessories on the ceiling of the passenger compartment and mounted spare to rear extender.

The tow package was the most annoying and icky looking.

 

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

It'nd that neat..

So, you have 28s on 15s ....... is that right? What is the advantage there?

I'd say it looks good and all 4 wheels and tires match. Beyond that I'd guess it's a decent all terrain off road tire.
