Chris-- that looks Great. Super write up, super tour thru the whole thing. I am like Ronnie though, if I did all that , I'd quit.
Just do not have the time. It Looks like you take that pride in all you own, even the backgrounds of the photos your drive ways and garages, tool boxes, all of it.
Good for you, it all looks wonderful. Nice looking machine and you are very talented.

Well, If I didn't work I could probably find a little more time to clean the buggy.....

Thats not true. if you would keep your ass of that golf course.
you would have a whole hell of a lot more time on your hands.....

Great pics and info Chris. You gave good advice at Windrock too. I am slowing down soon and going to see a guy who builds race car chassis and cages near me, to look into chopping the cage. Haven't decided wether to chop the front and rear of the cage, or just the rear like you did, yet. I do have the flaps now, just have to have the time to put on. I did get the sagging springs adjusted after the Windrock ride. Looks better now. I am going to order the Lift Kit soon too.

Gimpy , I would not chop the front of the cage.
it is low enough as it is. just loosen the bolts in the front.
and when you cut the rear, it will just lay back. and it wont
effect your windshield......

and Yes you do need to order a lift. if you plan on
riding at winrock like we did....

Merry Christmas to me....
My new Lock and ride Gas can and holder came in today.
it seems to fit very well , and holds the gas can in place
pretty snug. good thing is you can take the whole thing out
in 30 seconds.
No more worrying about low fuel warning light flashing
at me. now i dont care. I am covered....

man if i was just going to trail ride i would set a
S up just like this.
Excellent work Chris. you and jimbo need to set up your own skunkwerx shop.

Nice Chris!!!!! That is a good set up

looks great chris you still need my rhino for a xtra project!!

Thats a thought.....

I put my spare gas can in the same spot and have never had a problem. What are you guys saying.... the extra heat from under the bed is worst in this area?

thats what they are saying. it will be hotter on that side but i put my gas there all the time also and have no trouble.

As long as your gas can never leaked. i think
you would be fine. i dont think it would get hot enough to
be a problem. but it is cooler on the other side...

What about HVAC insulation under the bed over the header? That might help with the heat. Also you can cut it to fit and paint it black.

If heat on the gas can worries you then go to Lowes and buy some of the foam foil heat reflective tape. Coat the underside above the muffler. That will reflect plenty of heat and reduce the bed temp.

been running mine on that side since day one with my 09, no problems.

I`ve been running the same gas can and mount on the same side and have never had a problem.

Installed the flaps and took a ride yesterday and today. They make a hell of a difference. Thanks Chris!
