Member here from SD. Not a full time job for him as he does real work, but he's talented in making things.

Also, F Honda and their stripped out hex bolts. I feel pretty confident Helen Keller assembled my bed!

That subtly means he will whip your ass if you make fun of him again.

I wish I had known about you before I sided with the enemy. I will know better the next time. You need to instill the fear of God in these guys to spread the word. Definite breakdown of communication

Speaking from zero experience, I have no idea that they were the enemy. I build stuff for my SXS and share it with my Honda family. If they suck, you should share that with us. I am no way trying to compete with them. I just enjoy engineering and manufacturing. I am more of an artist than anything, so if you have an idea, don't hesitate to reach out.

So after 3 months of ownership, what are your impressions of the Showa suspension as far as ride at trail speeds like in East TN? Really digging some of the add ons, the Bosman winch bumber, and especially CA Tech radius rods / receiver plate made in Cleveland TN only 80 miles from me.

Did you end up playing with the shocks damping lo / high speed adjustments and was it noticeable?

How about running without sway bar connected?

If I had to do mine over again I would use some jack nuts and a rivnut tool.

So far I’m happy. Coming from the Pioneer it’s a world of difference. I’ll know more after MOM but I’m not expecting to be disappointed. I’ve adjusted them a little softer but haven’t changed much else. Running at speed on the rocks at Prentice Cooper wasn’t bad at all with my adjustments. I’ll probably be content to leave them how I have them unless MOM tells me otherwise.

Haven’t disconnected the sway bar.

CA Tech is 3 miles from my house…and the owner is on my security team at church. Really good dude and they make good stuff.

Agreed. I cussed more on that install than anything else I put on it.

Finally got what I was waiting for. AED Fabrication and Design 1st ever made swing out rear tailgate with shelf. Designed to hold a Yeti 45 cooler (you figure out how you want to fasten it down) but there is enough space for a full size Packout. (again, you would need the mounting plate) . I’m gonna do a separate thread for this alone, but this is an exactly what I wanted when I talked to David about building it. Pivot point has a sealed bearing so there’s no bushing to wear out or squeak. Strong bear claw clasp for the latch. He took and idea/concept I had in my head and created it. Very impressed.

It really compliments the end of the Talon too.

How to get details will be in my new thread.
