Shoot dang man, that’s the 8th wonder of the world dude! 😂

@@thejourneyretold 😂😂😂

Dude honestly that sounds like a serious nightmare

Yea she’s cooked lol

Winner winner! Frustrating that the WP never weeped or anything to sign that it was going. Serp belt started to squeal intermittently for about 3 minutes before I heard a lot of bad sounds. I was wanting to get the rest of the gravel moved (like 5 scoops worth) and then I was going to investigate… guess I should’ve checked sooner 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Agreed - they hurry through stuff and forget to think.

Bigger thing that bothers me is that what got me to buy it was the “lifetime warrantee” he talked about in a video of it…but it doesn’t actually have a warrantee. Like I said, I still love it and would do it again, but it is indeed a LOT of maintenance…as is the rest of the X3 lol

I LOVE ST, but I feel like there is definitely room for improvement in some areas. The rebuild is really easy, just do it like every 1,000 miles or every year and it’ll be solid. The biggest thing is if you wait for it to get loose you’ve already lost. Once the grease inside gets gritty with dirt it’s like a valve lapping conpound and will really eat away at stuff so make sure she’s always fresh! Feel free to ask any questions when y rebuild it and I’ll be happy to help or talk ya through anything.

Badass!

Yea for sure - they all have their place. I just want the best of both worlds sometimes lol

Even in reverse!

Right?! Nothing to see here lol

Turns out water pump bearing went out and sent the fan into the radiator. Frustrating because normally a failing water pump will weep first… this one definitely didn’t! lol oh well 🤦🏼‍♂️

Exactly what I did - wobbly FTW!

Checkout the full video - basically did a comparison test - I’m pretty shocked at the difference actually

Doesn’t reach otherwise, need an ext that’s a happy medium but no one makes a 1-3/4” one

That’s badass you use it so much!! I’m hoping to break the 10k mark this year!

This is why I usually stick to either a hammer or duck tape….

Never thought about that - good thinking

Hahaha

Lmao truth!

This comment literally made my day lol

Was curious if it would budge it or anything because I wasn’t sure if it was anchored in some way. But yes, it was a little heavy. Never had to move one and this one was garbage so figured we’d screw around a bit and learn lol

Unfortunately I didn’t listen to my gut to call it a day…I was not that wise. lol turned out to be a super nice day, but overall minimal progress was made. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thanks for the input - trying to get better at talking less!! 😎👍🏻

Not right now - been slow AF since last year…. I would say wait until next year - THEN start. 😎👍🏻

@@thejourneyretold thanks I figured with the fire danger things would slow down

Not so much the fire danger, it’s the economy and people not having a lot of extra spending money because of the last few years of inflation. Usually the summer is your busiest time

@@thejourneyretold ok thanks for the info

👍🏻😎

Next time I can - had to hold my phone and couldn’t do it 1 handed.

lol seriously? 60 second video, at $120 an hour is $2… I think you’re missing the point here 😂 It’s a bid - whether I take 12 hours or 12 days price is the same. It’s the only way I can make sure I am not under a time crunch and I can stop and think about the best ways to do things. When you’re in a rush it’s never your best work.

@@thejourneyretold I only ask because I'm trying to gauge how many operators are spending time shooting video while charging T&M. Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I have a feeling far too many. I don’t really like T&M because I always feel like I have to go as fast as possible because I try to save people money - then as you know, when you go fast mistakes happen…and sometimes those can be really bad. So I pay people by the hour because they’re incentivized to go slow - and slow is safer and easier on equipment. Little backwards from how most do it, but I sleep well at night so that’s good enough for me

@@thejourneyretold Back in the day some customers would pay us extra for getting photos or video of the job. I find it highly interesting to watch how multi-media blends with construction. We rarely took pictures, and the inspectors had to come out for every single inspection. Now it can all be done, from a phone. There are many positive aspects that come from so much documentation. If I wasn't retired I would charge about 250 - 500 for a video of a decent size remodel. There's a niche..

Bingo

110% and it’s cheaper too!

@@thejourneyretold amen

lol dude seriously right?!??

They do what they can with what they’re given. You’d be surprised how difficult they make it to fix roads.

@mikeznel6048 the amount of paperwork and legal stuff alone is insane.

What steering shaft bolts? The pinch bolt at the bottom of the steering shaft where it goes onto the splined shaft of the ST rack? I just use an OEM one there

I did the same - put a cigarette lighter / 12v outlet there and just zip tie the key/key receiver under the dash. It’ll work great. 👍🏻😎

@@thejourneyretold I tried it but it doesn't turn on it keeps saying the same check key

I wonder if the electrical connector came unplugged? Where is the key mounted at now? Go on the MaverickForun and make a post in the X3 section asking about it - it’ll be a lot easier because you can post pics too

Where is your key mounted? Is it in the dash?

Literally this would’ve been the difference between 5th and 7th at our last race if we could’ve saved 1min off each fill up! lol so I had to come up with something! October is the next race so we will test is out! 👍🏻😎

I’m not sure - I honestly doubt it. If you go online you should be able to find a wheel fitment guide though.

Thank you

US MOWER - EX60 - works awesome!

Yup correct

Actually I only did the bottom ones because they came with the lower control arms I bought. The uppers are still kryptonite because they’re a nightmare to replace. So even though the boots are still broken, I just grease them after each ride with 1-2 pumps of fresh grease and clean up the old. So far I’ve got 1500-2000 miles like this and they’re still going strong. Once I get a chance I’ll replace them with the Keller ones though because those are so easy to rebuild

Glad it helped! It’s long but I tried to be thorough. Most people hate these racks, but with care they last a LONG time. So far I’ve got 5,000 miles on mine and she feels like new!

I replaced the wear items - this typically constitutes a rebuild - I didn’t replace the housing and cap etc like I would’ve with a full replacement

Definitely not the stock 14’s, but I think the XRC comes with 15s and if that’s what you have then they MIGHT. But best to look on their site for wheel figment :)

Same! Just the right sound!

They’re definitely worth the money IF you’re going to be hard on things - OR if you just want to ensure it’s one less thing to fail! I just wish they were less maintenance…then again I’ve been known to go a little overboard on caring for things lol

@@thejourneyretold Ive got 3 races and 2 wheeling trips on them, took them apart to check on them, original grease I put in still looked great. I am also bad about over maintenance on things haha. my wheel bearing get greased after ever race/ride, and my oil gets changed after every race!

@ApexOverland where are you racing at?? Always looking for more places to go have fun!

@@thejourneyretold Its in the CORS series here on the east coast

You bet man - this dash is seriously awesome and probably my favorite modification yet! lol

Agreed

Honestly idk where that is? 🤷🏼‍♂️
