    Mine were popping before I changed them. Driver side was a lot worse than the passenger.

    I used the idea for the tool icon sells for $150. I rented a ball joint press adapter set from autozone (cup on the bottom) and did some grinding on the inside of the socket to get the uniball to fit snug. All you have to do it’s tighten the bolt to press them out/in, makes the job super easy. I used a 1/2x10” carriage bolt for removal and had to use a 1/2”x5” and 6” grade 8 bolt for install because tractor supply didn’t have bolts that were threaded the entire length.


    Here is the inside of the socket.

    Not sure yet Tyler. Chinnabee Lake is a great place to camp and you can hike 1/2 mile down the trail to get to the falls and go swimming. Little River Mouth Park is another good place to camp, right next to the water. Sipsey Wilderness area has all kinds of camping too.

    @Brian422 has a buddy that is riding road #621 in the TNF this weekend and it looks cool as hell!

    Hmmm yea I saw icons tool, that’s a pretty good setup. May need to get some balls and borrow that socket, did you order uniballs from icon or just some universal 1” balls?

    Yes it is! Only live once and without the financing we’d still be saving to buy things for us to enjoy as a family. By the time we got enough saved up to buy outright kids would be grown and gone.

    If we purchase nothing else in next 6 years we’ll have 100% of everything paid off though but kids will need a car before then. Granted, they’re not getting new cars like my wife and I have. They’ll get something used but dependable :)

    I grew up on the river with 2 Sea Doos as well. One XP and one RXP. They would haul ass, but fuel efficiency was shit. Finally sold them and bought a pontoon. I could carry a lot more family and friends on the boat!

    That would stress me out, but if it works for you that’s all that matters.

    I got a @7r41lbr34k3r custom TRD Off Road shifter. Really nice, it’s on the last page or two of my build thread.
