Today was a little bitter sweet. I finally broke down and traded the MOOSE WAGON to a new home. I traded for a 2006 TRX450ER with a bad crank. The quad is super clean. The plastics are uncut and no cracks. Tires are no good but I have 3 sets lol. As with the 400ex it will not be a 2 week build … so… here are a few pics as it sits
I have a welder but I am not the world’s best welder by far but my question is looking at the pictures to fix where these welds are cracked and broken am I best served by grinding away all or most of the existing weld? I guessing that welding over a weld is probably not the best idea but I’ve never done it. Thanks
My super winch will first work fine then sometimes cut off and start making a clicking noise from the main contactor box. Then the motor stops working and then about an hour later it may work right. Does anyone know what could be happening?
Just picked up and installed Opt 7 Fluxbeam LED headlight bulbs with Hi/Low. 6000k, 40Watts per bulb with 3500 Lumens per bulb. They have a 2 year warranty, and are IP67 rated. They are a little spendy at $100 off amazon, but I hate the look of the stock bulbs. I’ll report back later with more use.
Alright ,heres the question..
Is anyone thinking of getting the Iron Baltic’s with an atv guru bumper?
As of now you can only use the shorty GURU.
I have the full size that I was going to sell and have ordered the shorty .Which he hasn’t started yet so I can cancel and order the modded full size.
While Farting around with the stock full size and I/B’s
I have come up with a pattern for a very easy modification to the welded add on for bracket at the bottom of the verticals that attaches to the snow plow mount ,that will allow the use of a full size bumper with the I/B’s
If I do do this ,i’ll have to get the shorty because I have a couple trips comeing up,Would anyonebe interested in a shorty ATV GURU,for use with the Iron Baltics skids It would be $50 off new price.Then I will also have a stock guru that I would be selling also $50 off new.
Plus John(guru) will have the pattern on file if anyone else wanted to do the same
I just dont want to go through all this and have 3 bumpers to take a hard hit on.
So i had a couple hours to spare today befor the Labour Day Classic….
I tore into my rear axle problem. Its been clicking like a bugger last couple months and getting worse.
Wondering if its worth my time to rebild this plung joint or if the tollerances are worn and i should just buy new high performance axles. Obvously ill have more peace of mind with new rhinos but id prefer not to go that route as its about 500 for axles on both sides where as a cv joint kit is a lot less. Dont wanna waste my time rebuilding if its just gonna fail again. What do you guys think? Fix or replace? Dunno why it failed in the first place. I dont see any evident scoring on the components but i havent run any measurements…wouldnt even know where to start for that.
I play in da mud..have a clutch kit installed and run my rear suspension on the highest setting for what thats worth….
