Yes agreed 100% haha. Let’s get back to the thread!

FWIW I just have an Old Man Emu non adjustable dampener.

Just screw a rare earth magnet to the mike, it'll then stick to anything carbon steel - including anywhere on your new console. On my 200
I also epoxied magnets behind the plastic dash panels. I learned this trick from Tim @ Gamiviti.

That’s a good idea. I have a magnet on the radio in my 200 that I attach to a ram mount.

Mounted an Alamosa antenna on the bumper and wired up a midland radio. Still waiting on a few parts to mount the hand held somewhere in the dash or console.

Fabricated some brackets to mount some rock lights up and out of the way in the rear.
These worked pretty great for the rear. I have some for the middle too, waiting on sliders to install.
Made some for up at the front of the wheel well behind the front bumper.
Worked great on the passenger side. Drivers side it looks like I have it too close to the Slee condenser skid add on they make for the ARB bumper. I’ll have to figure something else out there. I like having them up that high to broadcast the light. Will have to tinker some more.

Love the pictures. What tires are those, Yokohama MT?

Yes, Yokohama Geolander MT G003 I think they are called. I had the center lugs siped, they are quite good in the snow for an MT.

I’m a radio newb too, and too impatient to learn ham so it’s just a Midland GMRS. Seems to work well enough for me in my 200.
It’s not as cold as it looks. 11 degrees I think this morning when I took those pics. But we’ve had 30s to mid 40s lately. Tempts us with spring, then snows enough to make a mess-
But not enough for a good day on snow machines, lol.

The Dobinsons MRR shock reservoir bracket design leaves a little to be desired in my opinion. One of mine had bent due to contact with the tire when flexing. Perhaps they designed it the way they did for a reason, but I just didn’t love it. This morning I drilled a new hole about 1 1/2” up towards the shock loop. Then bent the tab on the end so it would hit the top of the spring bracket and keep the bracket from rotating. Seems to give better clearance and it’s solid.
Great snow pics. I installed heated wipers on my truck 3 years ago and of course I swear it hasn't snowed in Ft Collins since.

Heated wipers? Sounds nice.

I did consider them, figured I’d just drill a hole and try this out. I think it puts them in a similar position to the Slee.

Don't have to blast the defrost and heat the cabin to 200 degrees. Work great just need snow and cold again. I very sincere I HATE not getting any winter and this year was the worst yet.

Yours looks cleaner than mine underneath.
