    Yeah that's always a plus! The fine is way more than the license. I would go fishing today but.... Football, and I don't have daycare for my daughter today.

    hey everyone i have been evaluating my truck my leafs are pretty much flat( stock non tsb.) My question is would an AAL leaf work for me or would i be better off buying a new leaf pack.I would like to lift the front eventually but for now im just worried about my rear leaf springs bottoming out.What are my options?

    Those ATVs don't look fun at all compared to a 2011 Husqvarna TXC511 that happens to be for sale....


    Rebecca, If it were me and I planned on doing a lift anyway I would scratch the AAL and do it the way you want it the first time. I changed my suspension after I did it the "cheap" way and it ended up costing more in the end anyway.
    The other option is to look on here for used OEM parts which are pretty easy to find and swap them out. Maybe someone will charge you in beer for their old ones.

    ^ Thanks for your opinion that is the way I was leaning. I might as well eat the cost all at once.I think I will be happier in the long run

    :) I would agree and disagree.. We did get hefty raises for the new year, and I topped out this month... Im still not in a good place to buy it, or I would.
    I agree with Austin, I say hold out save some money and lift it the right way the first time.



    Anyone watch the games? Pit Cle was a close one. KC did terrible they need to run the ball and scrap their passing game!!

    Made it back from GJ in 3:41 with traffic....averaged some high speeds, but when the one in front of me was doing 110+ for a while and was stopped, it was time to slow down ....

    Traffic there and back was a PITA from construction.

    They are nice but they are really proud of their shit. For that money I can sink a fraction of that into my BF and it will eat the can ams lunch.

    Their prices are a lot more comparable now than they used to be.

    Though the only two that are really competitive on the market are Can am and Polaris.

    I bought both of my brutes for the price of one renegade. And it will only out run me in the straights for now. Until I do my primary, secondary clutches and put my power commander on. Now don't get me wrong they are nice but for the money you can upgrade just about any other brand to out run them. If I was only buying 1 I may have considered it more.

    Did you get these installed?
    Where did you mount them?
    Any pics of the brightness and spread?
    What are your thoughts now?

    I did install them. Pretty sure I posted some follow up pics. They seem brighter than my headlights but I don't know if thats just because they're so white that they make my headlights look really yellow. They worked perfectly this weekend to light up the sides of the trail and let me see switchbacks before I made the turn. They got splashed with a fair amount of water and mud and I washed them off with my pressure washer. Haven't noticed any moisture inside them yet.
    I'll be getting at least one more set of these to tie into my reverse lights, maybe even another set for the front.

    I see them in your build. Awesome. I will be getting a set at some point to add to the truck.

    I guess only time will tell if they crap out or not, but they seem to perform very well at a small fraction of the cost of some of the big names.

    Hey guys, I've got a favor to ask.

    I'm building a bed rack for a guy who's touring with a band and he will be at Red Rocks next week. I'm supposed to deliver it to him there, but I just got a call to do some surveying out of state for the next couple weeks.

    Would anyone on here be able/willing to deliver it for me? I can drop it off to you this week and give you $50 for your troubles if you're willing to help me out.
