I finally replaced the torn output shaft boot I discovered during take over
KIMG1882
and also put brake pads on the front. For some reason it won't let me post pics.
The pads where paper thin But at 7 years and 3000 miles I got my use out of them.

Did not do this today, completed just before Takeover but had not shared yet.
Created a mount for my JBL extreme speaker. It was easy to make and pretty inexpensive. I painted the wood plate black and it has held up well.. It made it thru all the bumpy, dusty, jarring rides at TO without moving .. so I am calling it a success. Love this speaker.

Speaking for myself, I have two of the JBL Xtreme 1s. I've heard the 2s and 3s; couldn't tell an appreciable difference personally.
The JBL stuff is nice because you can often pair two of them together.

I am a fan of the JBL lines, so my opinion is bias. This is an Extreme 1 and has worked great for me. I have a couple of 2 and 3's as well. The 3 is my favorite. Good bass, clear treble, sound carries well so great for indoors and out. Never had an issue with the Bluetooth connection. I also have a Charge 4 and several versions of the earbuds. The charge does not compare to the Extreme, it lacks depth and just leaves me under whelmed.

I do not have a link to the mounts. They are the roll bar clamps from Honda. I ordered them from my Honda dealer.

Thanks you so much for the information. Off hunting we will go. ;)

Thanks to KYgal83 for the inspiration to put some sounds in the HONDA. This will be removable with a couple Velcro straps (on order) and using a couple hard mounts I already had on the shelf. JBL Exteme II Sounds nice. The misses got it for me on my Birthday. Thanks hun. 😀 Don't mind the TieWraps just temporary. I do have a sheet of Kydex and I'm thinking on making a small cradle for the speaker. 7-25-22 Got the velcro straps on. This puppy is solid! About 20 seconds to remove for charging.


Update: 8/2/2022 Used the JBL on our ride to FourPeaks over the weekend. Works great! No higher than 1/2 volume was plenty. Clear, good bass and easy to work off the phone with Spotify. I did point the forward speakers slightly downward but it works. The Hard roof seems to amplify the sound. Check in the win column. ;)

Ordered nerf bars, bed rails, a spare takeoff tire and rim, and a jack for the trail.

Have not found and reviews of videos of the nerf bars so I think I’ll make a little unboxing/install video.

I had a set of 2021 Rancher IRS wheels lying around and thought I would use the wheel dust covers on the P52. Well, they did not fit. Or so I thought…

I took off the Pioneer wheel to try fit and the dust covers are slightly larger in diameter than the Pioneer wheel holes. But I noticed they were tapered and the hub is a bit concave. Could I squeeze them in? In short, yes! In fact, they actually compress against the hub and seal. I think they might actually keep water out. Could this be a hack that will keep your hub nuts dust free and dry? Time will tell…
