Mine is changed too. Ready for the next ride.

Drove to mail box

Today mine got a new Wicked Bilt steering rack and power steering unit along with a Pro Armor steering wheel. Yesterday I got my shocks back from Shock Therapy after the revalve. Installed the new RT pro springs. Almost ready to set back on the ground!!

New winch contractor on. Fluids changed. Ready for Windrock now need to book a cabin!

Put my new xp1k wheels and tires i got from joe on a few days ago. When i changed them out i noticed the wheel bearings was shot again. Don't buy cheap American star manufacturer bearing. Got maybe 300 miles on them and they fell apart when i pull the hub with a race sticking to the hub. And when i went to press them out they just fell out touching them.
Put new bearings from super dave's and then installed a rev 1 clutch kit from superatv. Still need to change u joints and seen that the front diff input seal is leaking so thst will have to wait a week or two.

Found and ordered a replacement wheel center cover,changed fluids and air filter tightened lug nuts,ready for next ride!

Hers got washed, new bumpers and Siezmik Pursuit mirrors! I hope to wash mine!

thats great Mike you'll be able to keep up with Joe I hope to be on the fall ride. Weight to horse power is what it's all about very soon somebody is going to come out with a 200 hp model. The sand fleas will be all over it.

Finally got the u joints and carrier bearing changed And front Diff Seal. The carrier bearing bolts are a pain in the to get to. And so was getting the roll pin Back In The Drive Shaft. Got Tired Of Trying So I Just Put A Bolt In it. Got It Rideable But Still Need To Put The Skid Plate Bavk On And The doors Back On.

Did you go to a carrier bearing with a grease fitting?

What do you do with 16ft of antenna wire for my new two way radio when I only need 3. It says not to coil it up, so can I cut it? That's about the smallest coaxial cable I've ever seen. Anyhow spent the last few weeks changing fluids, greasing, greasing spherical bearings on shocks,sway bar ends. Couple hours here and there but I think I spend more time searching for tools and parts, pieces.

I coiled mine in the side panel below the passenger side door. No problem this time. Last time I coiled it overhead and is caused static on the stereo speakers. Keep the antenna wire as far away from the stereo and speakers that you can.

New battery getting it ready to sell

I have had the 2015 high lifter for over 2 years and decided to upgrade to a 2017 High lifter. I didnt know I had so many mods to the old one til i started putting it back stock. Spend 2 evenings getting cage and all the mods off. Got the 17 today and started swapping parts. Will post pics when finished.
