Yeah, it should do the job. I have it wired to my brights. I have a 32" led bar on my rig. That sucker is like the sun.

I bought a couple el cheapo shafts to try out. I'm putting one front and one rear on to see how long they last. I'll keep the factory ones as spares. They say they're 4340 steel, so hopefully they are stronger the OEM. The rear shaft was 1/8 thicker the OEM. We'll see...

I couldn't get the axles out of the case so I hit google to see why. Saw a video of a guy trying to get one out. It was rusted in there. I didn't know they weren't sealed inside and there's no seal to keep water out. So I got out some WD industrial and sprayed all 4 axles where they enter the case and let them soak all night. Sprayed them again next day and with a little pry and pull, they came out. I recommend spraying them often to keep them from rusting. Changing a rusty one on the trail would suck. I used anti seize on the new ones.

I had been noticing some play in the wheel bearings for a while. After I took everything off the play in the bearing was scary. I guess the caliper toned the play down some. I have 4 new ones on the way. I found a cool greaser for them too. This is something I want to add to my yearly maintenance routine.

After taking everything apart I found the bearings were in worse shape that I had thought. They were dry and had a bunch of play. Got the new ones from All Balls Racing. They are good and tight now. Definitely going to keep them greased from now on.

Added something new to the rzr, heat... My intention is to make a set of removable uppers for my lower doors to keep the heat in. Bring on the cold weather.

Got some new tires too. Same size, just more aggressive. 27" ITP Blackwater

Figured you would be getting new tires after the DTOR trip. The Blackwaters are at the top of my list also.

Found out the hard way, they run small! Mine came with 26" Bighorns, the 27" Blackwaters are a tad smaller. I hear Bighorns run big. I would've got 28's if they had them in my rim size. I have 2 new 26x11x12 Blackwaters in my garage. What size do you need?
