3 Gallon Stockpot is all I use for shower. I just heat it up on stovetop or coals from fire. I use privacy fold out tent. A cup works well for but you can buy the digital shower usb rechargeable if you want. Works great 3 gallons is plenty.

You installed those upper mounts wrong way. You need to flip those around and left to right and etc. They should go same line as the battery cover side, not pointing straight toward headlights like you have installed. You can notice there is small holes or cuts in both mounts near 90° turn. Cf motos front plastics/trims should fit in those holes under the battery cover.

@RatherBeWheeling 3 ай бұрын

Hmm, well luckily they seemed to still work the way I mounted them. By all means though if you have a video posted showing this, list the link here and I will pin it. Either way I do not own this machine to make the video again.

I have foldable mirrors on my TW. I also have handle bar lever guards. They will definitely save the levers. Imagine breaking a front brake lever at the top of a long steep downhill. The clutch would also cause issues if you were far back in the bush. You can always carry extra levers, but if you wreck and break those, you will be in the same predicament.

@@LeMortso I know------right? My latest thing that I am doing is installing an AGM battery. I found one at a battery store near me, but it was too small. I installed it anyway, then I found one that is suppose to be the right size. It has not arrived yet, and due to the shipping charges being almost as much as the battery, I believe it is coming from over-seas. It has 135 CC Amps. My machine is a 2022 with 1,800 miles on it, and the original battery failed, which is par for the course with a flooded cell. My 09 Polaris Sportsman came with an AGM, and it was still in it when I sold it earlier this year. I am sold on AGM batteries. Especially with battery start only. I have also converted my Polaris Trail to AGM and my 2017 RZR also to AGM. Might want to think about that with your TW. There are lots of places that I go that being able to push-start my bike would not work. I also installed sintered brass pads on my disc brake set up. I believe that the pads are from a Yamaha. I found out about it from reading the comments with Bradleys disc set up. He might even know which ones fit it. I do indeed love my disc set-up.

So what were the OTD prices you were quoted?

@RatherBeWheeling 3 ай бұрын

Depends on model, mid 6 to 7.5k. Found a demo bike traveler model heavily discounted as well. Looks like dealers are starting to push adverts for the 1k discount now, think it ends this month. Most good shape used 3rd gen in my area are running about 5.5-7.5k and of course we have to pay sales tax when registering so adds up too.

@RatherBeWheeling 3 ай бұрын

To be clear, I am not saying this is the "best bike" but more that it is the "best bargain" from what I could find available right now. What are your thoughts? Any specific market trends in your area that stand out? Any tips or suggestions to new buyers when negotiating OTD pricing?

@anonw3829 4 ай бұрын

I just installed heavier springs with Cogent DDC's in the forks and it made a difference on keeping the tire on the ground. I was going to get a new front tire, but the bike responds so much faster to the bumps that I'm going to add pressure back to the stock front tire and keep on riding, I have not felt the need for a new tire now! Time will tell, my TW is still very new.

Before the Jeep prices went ridiculously high, with markups and such, I was on the verge of getting a Subaru Outback. Why I have a 2016 JK 2-door and have not been able to figure out how to sleep flat with my 5'9" height. Other videos suggest a hammock tied to the roll bars (not an option with my back problems) and others suggest removing the front passenger seat (and have the airbag warning light on the dash on). One person suggested sleeping diagonally like you did, but I could not find and no skills to build a platform to bridge the seat well. Every few months I search youtube to see if someone has a better idea. So, thanks for reinforcing the diagonal position and bridging the seat well with a duffle bag. I will try it again. Otherwise I like the 2-door JK but if I had anticipated sleeping in it I would have opted for the 4-door. I already have a roof cargo basket in place to store extra gear. Question, were you really comfortable and what foam pads or air mattress did you use? Thumbs up!!

@RatherBeWheeling 4 ай бұрын

Well to be honest it is not the most comfortable..... but I also have a full size truck I camp out of with a nice cot and large topper to compare to. I would not do it for more than one or two nights in the JK. I owned a 98 wrangler and had a few Suzuki Samurais that I spent many nights in... the JK by comparison is much more roomy and doable but still not a perfect solution. When the weather is better and the ground is not a mud bog I prefer a tent and cot. I was using two sleeping pads on this trip, a generic camp pad cut into thirds I had my wife sew a cover on it so it folds up flat, and a generic inflatable mattress I have had for a few years (outdoorsman lab or something similar). The somewhat rigid foam camp pad actually helps fill in the gaps a little between the duffel bag/pack, footwell and seat back. The benefit with the 2 door JK is how nimble it is on trails and getting into the overgrown brushed out trails we have here... with the cost of not being super comfortable to sleep in. It seems like it is always a trade of in one area or another ha ha ha, probably why I change vehicles every couple years!
