looks good.....was the red top old? seems like it should last a little longer even if you got it right when you got the truck...

 

[08XOR]

Thanks man. The battery is old. I wanna say its over 7 years old. This is the third vehicle I've had it in.

updated first post with some pics of my install. would have done more but it was pretty cold today. and i noticed the skid plate mount was not powder coated so i primed it. gonna paint it tomorrow. need to figure out where to mount 4 ballasts for HIDs. any suggestions?

 

[mayoibushi]

lemme know how the spacers ride with the shrock and winch. I am hitting a snag myself after ordering and may have to delay my suspension upgrade, but bumpers are otw.

 

[08XOR]

ok. ill post back this weekend about the ride.

 

[08XOR]

so i took it for a ride tonight and it does feel a little different but nothing bad. it steers a little harder so i may add some air to my front tires. other than that it rides fine.

Shrock looks awesome!!!! Liking the Axe mounting location! Can't remember, were you asking me about it earlier?

 

[08XOR]

thanks man! i read about that mounting location on here somewhere. just gotta get the 175 lb struts for the hatch now. i can see them fading fast with the added weight on there. no wasnt me man.

 

[Blain]

Gotchya, yeah I did that on mine a while back, added a tow strap underneath as well. It's a perfect fit! Just be a little careful closing the hatch sometimes that plastic panel likes to unclip it self in some areas.

 

[08XOR]

ill keep that in mind. i close it real easy tho. i accidentally let it go when closing it the other day and it SLAMMED shut. wont do that again

 

[macguyvermedic]

LOOKS AWESOME!!! I have to admit the Shrock's are growing on me a bit. I had nearly the same bike but in yellow/silver/black. Sweet rig.

 

[08XOR]

thanks man. my buddy has a GSXR 1000 in those colors. pretty sharp lookin!

 

[Surf and Snow]

Sweet looking ride! It does not look like you clocked your Recon winch. Are you able to reach and move the full 180º rotation of the clutch lever to actually use it? Hope you don't have to pull it all back apart...

 

[08XOR]

i did clock it. actually had to do it twice as the first time i did it i went too far. did it at like 10:30 the other night. so the next day i go to put the winch in and realized i clocked it too much. had to take it apart again and go back a little. i was really surprised how easy it was.

 

[Surf and Snow]

Nice! I have the same winch. Its been good to me so far.

 

[08XOR]

thats good to hear. i may get to test mine out in a couple weeks helping my dad cutting some trees down. haha. he wants me to try and keep them from falling in the swamp. we've done it before with the tahoe my mom had but we'll see how it goes. if we do use my truck ill be sure to get some pics.

 

[Drew7997]

I personally liked the idea of using the hoop as a gentry crane. Great use of Resources!
I do like those shrocks.

 

[Rook]

nice! i can't believe that hoop held all that up! nice work and looks good. I hope you have better luck with your recon than I did.

Nice truck, and nice bike! I had the SAME one, same color - but sold it 2 years ago...
