    EPI clutch kit question

    Installed a EPI Mudder clutch kit on my HD8 xt cab with 30” tires. Used the green spring as recommended in the instructions. I have to say I don’t notice much of an improvement. Acceleration not any faster, top speed the same but less power at upper speeds. There seems to be a little more torque...

    wheel alignment

    Just aligned mine recently, did it mainly by eyesight. I tried it both toe in and out. On the trail it didn’t really matter which way. Toe out the steering gets twitchy. Toe in approximately 1/4” it drives nice and straight down the road.

    Spring Upgrades Done!

    On the back wall I used 1 layer of Kilmat, then 2 layers of .25” foil faced closed cell foam, with some pieces of 3/16” aluminum plate scattered in where I could make them fit. Doors were Kilmat on exterior panel and closed cell on interior panel, and then did same on roof.

    Rocker switch

    I bought my 2019 in spring 2020, started having troubles with the window switches by summer. Called dealership and they said bring it in, they replaced the wiring harness for the windows. It wasn’t the switches at all. They told me it was a known/common issue, it was covered under warranty. I...

    How to mount magnetic light bar to plastic cab roof?

    I’m considering the magnetic light bar. I’m thinking of gluing a piece of metal to the underside of the roof skin, if that doesn’t work then I’ll probably make a metal L bracket that mounts to the two screws for the top door hinge. All I know is I hate rust, so the thought of attaching a metal...

    Exhaust db reduction mod

    I knew there would be a HP trade off, that’s just how things work, but I think there’s a little more low end grunt. The surface area of the holes in my silencer are the only slightly less than the stock tailpipe opening. I did this intentionally, knowing I could drill them out larger if needed...

    Created this inexpensive DIY spark arrestor/silencer device. It’s a 1 1/2” to 2” exhaust pipe adapter, with a 2” washer welded on the end with a 3/4” center hole and 8 - 3/16”. There is fine stainless steel mess right behind the washer. The inside of the 2” portion of the adapter is filled with...
