  1. Old topic, however did not see this option mentioned. Seeing how many motorcycle wiring harnesses butchered with these ‘vampire tap’ and the inevitable problems they cause down the road, I now use these … https://www.amazon.com/s?k=piggyback+fuses&hvadid=78615217087184&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&tag=mh0b-20&ref=pd_sl_81ssgjjm70_e These piggyback fuse holders have polarity. Pull the original fuse out to determine what leg is hot and mount the piggyback fuse holder so the current goes the same direction as the original fuse. Mount the original fuse on the fuse holder and the new circuit fuse in the new circuit position. In other words, the original fuse will keep doing its role and the new fuse will protect the new circuit. Plug it in your fuse block. REMEMBER, these piggyback fuse holders can only be mounted one way, if you flip it 180 degrees, it won’t work. You now have an unmolested wire harness, a properly fused circuit and you can return everything back to stock if needed in the future. Just make sure you choose the proper amperage and whether it is a standard or mini fuse size.
  2. First ATV, couple brothers been riding them for years and now that I moved back to where I was raised … they have hundreds of miles of ATV/Snowmobile trails in northern Maine. My brother who rode for 30 years recommended the Rubicon based on what my needs are. Rode street bikes for years till a bad wreck convinced me I no longer have the reflexes to handle it, add to that the texting drivers and reluctantly called it quits. Just moved up from @_Wilson_™ neck of the woods, I called on the Clarksville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville Tennessee area as a now retired industrial automation sales engineer As for your neck of the woods, them Cajuns/coonasses are distant relatives … this area here is known as the heart of Acadia and people here are right proud of it. One of the first projects I want to do is design a more robust plow system using industrial electric actuators instead of winches eliminating the broken wire/rope problems. It won’t be cheap but I want it to be reliable. I need to get through a winter so I can analyze the stresses and problem areas and then build it.
  3. I typically don’t join forums anymore due to bickering and cliques creating a high noise to signal ratio. ‘I’ve moderated before and and have little tolerance for that anymore. After reading the contributions of @retro and @Fishfiles , I made an exception and joined. Little background on me, recently retired and still waiting on my Rubicon Deluxe with plow package that I prepaid for my retirement gift to self. ‘Should of came in mid-June, dealer telling me that his orders are starting to trickle in with Recons and Ranchers. I bought the last service manual for the 2022 TRX500-TRX520 on EBay that was mentioned on a forum post and planning to do my own maintenance. ‘Dealer is 65 miles away and I don’t like waiting weeks for repairs. Hoping to contribute as much as I received from this forum.
