    The current sheet show… the Locked shocks don’t fit. Need to make a new upper shock mount pocket. Good job for my minions next week

    Not sure what you mean, don't fit. Put the lower in first and use a ratchet strap to compress the shock enough to get the top in. Otherwise, I don't see anything that won't work.

    I could spend weeks or months in South Dakota. So much to see and do there. Definitely worth checking out.

    NOOOOOOO. This week back at work was a nightmare. Honestly I’ve never wanted to quit so badly and just go back to being an overland hobo. I need to do a few pushups so I can start that OnlyFans…

    Yeah looks like they’d fit from pictures. Is it the boots that are interfering? I’m not seeing the problem, get them bad boys in there!

    I put my shocks in top 1st.
    Wrapped an old rag around a small pry bar (that fit in bottom mount).
    20241102_171352.jpg

    Compressed shock until I could get the pry bar under it enough to shimmy the bottom in like a shoe horn.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    That's funny, I put my shocks in bottom first and then push with every ounce of my strength with my head turning red and my arms shaking until I can get the shock rod through the hole in the frame up top :rofl:

    Once I got past stupid (thanks for the hint Rich) everything worked out fine. They are a bit stiff but I have been bouncing some lately so what to compare to. Seem very quick and damp out any kind of rebellion

    I saw that you got it sorted.

    Those lights usually come on when a wheel speed sensor is knocked loose, out of alignment, broken etc. super easy to replace if need be.

    Same. That Orange Solar Beauty .... :drool:
