Hey RticKwad, you can get Herculiner in a can and roll it on with a small roller. I put some that I had on my Craftsman lawn tractor trailer that I use to haul firewood. It's holding up really well and no rust is showing up at all. I also used it on my wood boat seats and haven't had to touch them in 3 years now. Usually have to sand and hit them with spar varnish each year. Now they are standing up to anything nature can throw at them. (As long as a tree doesn't fall on them that is). Someone (I forgot who) also make it in a spray can. Doesn't go on as thick or have as much rubber compound in it. I used that on an extended box that I add to my X2.

 

Hey Legend (lol),

Yea, that is what the dealer told me. So he pays $50
over dealer really and sells it to me for that. I think all
of that stuff is a bunch of bull. But the price is about
800 savings near 1k cheaper than my Marlyand dealers.
So a 2 hr drive to West, VA is worth it. Ohh BTW, I
don't have to pay the sales tax too, so about another
$300 savings. Not sure where this price compares to
others on the forum? So did I get a good deal on the price?

Did you see the differance between the front axles on the 800 compared to the 450?..........................................at least the rubber boots look smaller...................Caper..

 

RticKwad,

Just to reasure you, you got a good machine. I have a 2007 Stealth 800 and WOW, its wild this thing can truly does everything well. It can work hard, run fast, climb like a goat, and look good while doing it. I have 1200 miles on mine now, only issue I had was a rear axel seal and a swaybar rubber go. I've pulled trailers with rock and dirt in them that I probably should not have, only thing I don't like is the rear springs even set stiff soften up quick. Gas mileasge is decent, am getting around 80miles on a tank in high gear. One thing with these big boys you really have to use your LOW gear when under Load of any kind, if you don't its your fault if you blow a belt.

So congrats and hope you enjoy it as much as I have, and btw, 68-70mph top en is hauling butt so watch out. I just put the TM2 front lift kit on it and it has taken the floating feeling away in the front end so I recomment it also as you can adust it if you want.

 

Sounds like a good price for the 800.

How's the Black holding up to scratches?

 

Hey Hey, it was a GREAT ride this weekend! Yea, I did see a couple of scratches already, no big deal, it doesn't
look Bad, cleaned up pretty good. But I had to wash it down about 3 times. I think I will follow the advise of
using furniture polish on the plastics, and spray all in the bottom undercarriage and fender wells with WD-40 for
easier clean and see if that is an improvement. Soon to post some pictures, yea I am really happy with the 800,
Power, Speed, handling all an massive improvement over my 450 and going up hills, short or long, no hesitation
so much power it lift and climbs right up, REAL NICE!

now your hooked brother [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] i really dont know how much any wax or wd-40 will acually protect anything but i guess it wouldnt hurt. so is the stealth painted as mine or is it injected color into the plastic. i never really paid attention.
