    Wait until it breaks....there isn't a single repair joint in town here that will even touch a CVT, except the delearship. And we all know they like to take your $$$$.

    Zero...haven't been out in a couple months. Wife was uncomfortably pregnant...now we have a newborn. Doesn't help that we sold the trailer when we finally sold the two atvs. Planned to buy an all aluminum 7x12 or 14 to haul it and just haven't gotten around to it.

    Word to the wise, buy a 16 or 18 footer even if not aluminum. Gives you room to grow the toy hauling & even tow a car on it if need be. I learned this lesson the hard way.

    @EatSleepTacos I heard you were running something called TacoTabs? Eliminates the cam hardware and cheaper than replacement parts anyway.

    Any feedback? I'm planning on chopping out my seized hardware and arms and doing a refresh like @08TRDOFFROAD and if I can save $130ish and not have to deal with wonky alignments ever again, I'm sold.

    Yes, so far they're fine. Takes a little trial and error to get it where you want it. For example I added them when I had 650lb coils. When I went to 600, I lowered the front end so I wanted to change out the tabs. Took a couple tries to get it right. Other than that though, no complaints. Your alignment numbers won't be perfect though since you don't have all the adjustability.

    Well considering how abysmal they are right now "good enough" would be a marked improvement. You def wheel your truck harder than I do, so if they're acceptable for your purposes, I should be good to go.

    Do you do your own driveway alignments or take it somewhere? I know a lot of euro cars have a similar setup, just didn't want to blow my favorite tech's mind if I bring it in.

    I do my own. I have the rear tab all the way out, front all the way in, and adjust toe myself. I haven't a clue what my actual caster/camber numbers are. I just know my caster is maxed out, and my camber is good enough, measuring with a piece of flat bar stock and an angle finder. It seems to be within the acceptable range.

    edit: You'll want to pair them with the total chaos alignment tabs for a really rock solid front end to beat on.
