You posted your photos while I was composing my post - looks good!

As for more mods - you haven't done anything with the back yet! You need longer trips. I'll post what I did to the back of mine to add storage capacity in a couple of days.

Don't you sleep? It's late here and you're a couple of hours ahead of me!

iv done a bit to the back. iv added led lights, led brake and work lights. custom licance plate braket along with a led warning lights above the plate. iv also made my own lock and ride sprayer mount for my fimco boom sprayer.

and not really. since i lost my job in nov/08 my exemployer decied to try and screw me out of unemployment. and i filed for my unemployment. but then had to appeal the jugment only to find out he lied to the unemployment office. then he decided to say he had an emergency on the unemployment court date. so they red did the date for a month latter then he decised on that date to not show up. same exscuse. so the juge did it anyways since i waited for 4monthes. so upon all of that iv got my days and nights screwed up since i was worryed about what i was gona do for money. i was down to my last few $100 on my court date. iv been trying to get back to normal but havent had no luck... my days and nights have been kind screwed up since nov. lol iv been trying...

I hear you - hang in there, hopefully it'll turn around for you soon.

My quad has turned into one of the best stress relievers I've ever had.

We're doing an ovenight in the Sierras tonight and tomorrow, but the forecast calls for several inches of snow at altitude. Our alternative destination in the desert calls for thunderstorms. At least it'll keep the dust down.

I guess we'll see how good our equipment is one way or another. I got to use my winch to tow primer out of a snowbank last week - and it worked well. Tires are definitely on my upgade list though. The stocks suck in the snow, which makes me wary of going up in the mountains tonight.

Make sure you Locktite those nuts with red locktite or they might vibrate loose, allowing the straps to come loose.
