Definately let us know how the fairlead works on the shock mount as you keep tabs on it.</end quote></div>

Well the bolt will be what wears. The fairlead chunk is in there just so I could tighten the bolt w/o crushing the mount tabs together. They're really shouldn't be any stress on it.

 

Great job! Looks good!

That bolt might bend unless you support the other end of it. Either that, or the holes in the shock mount will oval. Now that you mention it, I guess the top mount on the 250 could be a little higher than the 230. I always thought they were exactly the same. I'll have to look into the next time I see my buddy's.

Those are nice welds on the tierods. Shouldn't break. Did you start a complaint with ebay yet? Has the guy said anything?

Thanks, and I'll be keeping a close eye on the mounts and bolt to see what happens and how they wear. If I notice it wearing, I'll brace the back side, and I might someday even if it isn't. I was to tired to do it this week after all the other stuff.

It would make sense that the shock mount would be a little higher since the mounts on the arms are moved back.

I got a hold of him and he said he was out of town so I said to get back to me on early this week and I wouldn't start a dispute on eBay.

Hey atvman...Thanks! Will be very helpful, and i think that they should be easy enough to fab up in my garage. Dude, have you ever considered a career in photography, lol....great pics.</end quote></div>

Hey Scotty, did you save those pics of the nerfs? I'm going to move them within my photobucket page and I think that ruins the images on the forums here.

 

Here's some beauty shots for you guys:

 

A little atv **** huh.... Nothing under her skirt I haven't seen before. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Looks good in the snow.

Its 76 degrees here and have flowers blooming already. I tried doing some fishing, but the water must be too cold or something. Not a bite all weekend! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

What do you fish for?

 

Whatever will jump on the hook. Bluegill is what I want though. I've tried a pond, creek, and mountain lake so far. Not even a bite! Today I was bouncing the bait off the fish's head and they just wouldn't take it. I could have cleaned up with a .22 and a big net. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

lol Our cabin is on a trophy Bluegill lake. In past years, we've brought in 1.5 lb sunnys on an almost regular basis, with the occasional 2lb one! We've been in a transition though the last couple of years but they seem to be getting big again. We have 2 large mouth bass that live by our dock and we've caught and released them for the past five years. They gain about a half pound each year! Two years ago the big one was 3# 13oz after sitting in a livewell overnight, and the small one was 2# 13oz! This last year we only caught the big one and he/she weighed in around 4.5lb! They're a blast to catch and we can get em right from the dock!

 

Sounds like a nice place at the cabin!

There is just no good fishing down here. In OH I used to fish those ponds next to the interstate. I could catch a belly-full in few hours. Plus, I lived right next to Lake Erie. Fishing used to be easy, but here all the nice fishing holes are private. The only thing public are creeks and rivers and nothing to catch there but cats.

There is a nice lake on top of the mountain that I used to catch bluegills from 20yrs ago, but nothing was biting today. My buddy has a pond, but all the fish died last yr in the drought. That probably explains why its plum filled with tadpoles. Not a single fish to eat them! Can't wait till I get my pond finished.... Never knew fishing could be so hard.
