    I had a ton of fun doing mine, I'd love to do a d2s set, but the mini h1s require a lot less work.

    Basically the mini h1 is more bolt on. Not really but really

    It was fun at times, it was stressful at times, but it was extremely time consuming. I'm not advising anyone not to, but just know, it's going to take way longer than you expected lol.

    Used it to pick up a new to me snow blower and got it washed today. Turns out snow blowers are a heck of a lot better than shovels:rofl:

    Well worth the money to move large volumes of snow and not break your back.

    I am assuming two things, one, it's gas powered, two, it's two stage. With those assumptions in mind, modify your impeller - add wipes.

    There's always a gap between the impeller housing and the impeller blades. That gap can be huge or tiny bit is usually about half an inch. I used three ply trailer tires to make wipes for mine but you can find kits for like $20-30.

    Don’t think I’ve seen somebody run a shell with fiberglass fenders, didn’t think you’d be able to mount it since the bedsides don’t like really line up with the camper. Truck looks mean!
