Futz, flares don't look too bad. Are the rears growing on ya? I'm concerned I'll drag 'em on trees....

Yeah, the fronts look ok. Not loving the tucked-in look of the tires on the rear though. Haven't scraped a tree yet. The pic above is on the tightest trail we run. Got through the tightest point ok, no damage, no scrape. Did scrape a front flare at one point, no damage.

I'm considering 1/2" or 1" spacers, but I'm just not sure I wanna push it out to about 55" wheel width (even though the body work is at 56"!). The rear look bugs me. I'm vain I guess. :confused:

Well I got the sss Offroad skid plates on... it’s a 2 beer project

Mine have arrived; still in box. Damn, 50 lbs?? Heavier than I expected, though I didn't give it much thought. Good for a lower COG though I suppose!
Hoping to install tomorrow, then a quick clean up for some new pics before hauling it to deer camp.

Yes it’s heavy two people would make the job easy I did mine by myself and I cussed a little or maybe it was a lot 😂

I just ordered the fronts for that reason. I’m gonna custom make something like @JCart did for the rear.

This picture is over on a Kawasaki forum,and it says the guy in the Kawi is using a "push strap" to get a broke Honda home.LoL

Kawasaki owners might actually believe that! jk.

He understandably wasn't happy about being broke down, but I warned him that anytime one brand tows in another that it naturally has to be posted on the forum! ;) . Ironically, I had just before that ride brought along a newly purchased recovery kit. Still need a couple more items actually.

I figure we're all likely to need a tow, sooner or later. Learned that while being a boat owner for decades; been on both ends of a tow line.
