Lockers are on the list, but I have some more serious research to do on that. Unfortunately, a light 4x4 and a hydraulic drive-from-wheelchair system rules out any small or light 4x4. Literally the only 4x4 wheelchair trucks on the market are all Silverados. I don't have the ability to transfer...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's awesome!!!! I lived in Clarksville for a long time and would occassionally take my XJ to LBL, I've done a TON of hiking up there (I think I've done almost every trail, possibly all of them except the newest stuff), and pounded out thousands of miles up there on...

Thank you all so much for the replies, they really do help immensely! Awesome, hopefully I'll be able to do some dummy pulls with the girlfriend to get her comfortable before we need to use it. I like the simple idea, good call! It's in the plan, thanks! Makes total sense, thanks! The...

Hi all, I have not done a ton of 4-wheeling, having spent most of my outdoor time in 2 wheels. I'm now, largely, limited to travelling offroad via my truck, but I use a wheelchair and need some assistance with winches and specific things to look for. So, as I said, I use a wheelchair, and will...

Stock photos from the dealer as I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but hopefully tomorrow that all changes. I had a motorcycle accident 3.5 years ago, and I've been trying to find more ways to get outdoors. I have an El Camino with a 450hp LS1 that is my weekend car, and a Jetta Ute (Smyth...

Dave, thanks for the links, some more poking around got me back to what I originally saw. Of course, it's not red, but this was it. https://camera-source.com/universal-intelligent-12volt-power-source.html

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I thought they were all going to be big and bulky like that. I don't think it was pitched as such, rather an accessory power port of some sort, but that gives me a path to look down. Thanks!!

It was quite a bit more simple than these. The one I saw was a small red plastic coated component/box of some sort. It had 2 or three wires. I believe it connected to both sides of the battery, and then had a single power out on it. I've never seen anything quite like that in the past. Using a...

Hi all, I saw something this morning while I was looking around for something completely not related, I came across a simple device that connected directly to the battery of a vehicle. It somehow (presumably voltage increase) was able to determine when the vehicle was running, and would provide...

Just got mine today, good stuff! Thanks!

T-4 Para since July 2015. I was active on here many years ago when I had an XJ, and then I got very heavy into dual sport motorcycles. Had a freak accident on a dirt road while borrowing a buddies Vstrom1000, and ended up with a broken spine, broken wrist and broken rib and in the hospital for a...

Yes, it is fun.... It's often hard for me to say "Did I really just spend $600 on a shock for a $1200 bike?" But, at the end of the day, meh, it's fun, so, whatever! I've debated on the front brake, but honestly, I've not felt like I've needed it. I try to ride off pavement as much as possible...

Forgot to reply to this part. I felt pretty lucky that night. My buddy was following me, and had his gopro on his helmet, but had turned it off about 3 minutes before it happened. The worst part besides getting hit was that I was shoved into the oncoming line. There were three cars directly...

I know what you mean. I ride friends VStroms occassionally, and it is nice to have the protection. That said, I came from a bike with a tiny fairing, and I HATED the stock setup on the KLR. My head got shoved all over the place, and it was miserable. The WWW mod helped, some, but I jumped on it...

This is still pretty much how the rear end looks like. I ended up getting a Wolfman Rolie bag to replace the rear case. It works much better now. It was also about this time that my stock speedo died. I could get it working for about 20 miles, but then it'd stop again. I hated the stock ugly...
