  1. That is same thing as my winch and have been happy with. Where you getting mounting hardware?
  2. Replaced 02 Rubicon with brand new 2024. Had Warn on 02 and never worked when needed. Thinking moisture problem and replaced with Superwinch at 1/2 cost and looked identical like came out of same factory. I put front of bike against tree to pull logs off trail and 2500 is barely enough but works. best bet would be to buy pully to increase pull power. Also now have synthetic rope as option instead of cable. What brands, size, and cable you guys recommend?
  3. I tried turning while moving slowly and can get to point where wear click, click. Will need to find new right axil.
  4. Cleaned or more like took apart and reassembled. Working good and keeping fingers crossed. Like fixes that dont cost much. Thanks
  5. Pulled apart and clean. Float moved freely and seems to be working fine. Floats looked like had no leaks and needle looked good. Cleaned while apart. Dont know why would have been leaking full bore but if does again will rebuild. Afraid if does it again could leave me stranded. At rate was leaking bet 30 min would drain full tank.
  6. 2002 Rubicon is used year round and always has good gas in it. In a bind because need for farm work and dont need down right now. Turn fuel on and full flow out bottom tube. Bike runs excellent and thinking float must be stuck open out of clear blue. What are odds pulling float clean reassemble being a fix or do I need to buy rebuild kit?
  7. Other day took bike out of a month of storage. When turning right would only turn about 1/2 way. Turn left ok so put on jacks with all tires off ground. In and out of 4X4 would act the same. Turns left good but when turning right sometimes would stop. All steering linkage looks good. When stops can rotate right tire a little bit and feel it mesh then turns correct. This is my busy season planting food plots so loaded on trailer and off to farm. Put 23 mile on bike with constant 180 degree turns while moving and worked like normal. Today wile barely moving turning right could get to where would not turn but roll1 to2" and feel it mesh and turn all the way. Thinking feels like CV joint but no noise . I rebooted about 5 years ago and looks good with no sign of leakage. Have any of you had a stock CV act like this? 2002 Rubicon 500 1800 hours.
  8. Will look into South Dakota. Nothing popped up earlier but will give good search. Upper Michigan looks good. Kewcenaw, and Houghton challenging trails and extrema weather. Not sure what they mean by that.
  9. Was thinking of taking vacation some ware new to do some riding. Live in MO and not sure which direction to go. Michigan offers trails as long as 4000 mi but bet mosquitos could be bad. Utah looks to have much riding areas and looks to be scenic. Hatfield and MaCoy keeps popping up on internet in West Virginia as popular atv destination. Any experience or suggestions. Not a Facebook kind of guy but is it a place to be looking for ideas?
  10. Might be buying brand new bike if can make deal happen. Will be going buy great place to try out on way home. Wont have time to read manual first so clue me in. Thinking no more than 3/4 throttle and fluctuate rpm for first 10 hours. Sound about right?
  11. Does it ever give you a unlevel effect going over obstacles with 200lb on back. My 2002 can get front end light but safe on level ground with 200lb on back. Does your fell pretty safe on level ground? Thank for the input.
  12. Have 2002 Rubicon with good Bighorns. Has 1800 hours on it and runs great and starts down to zero F. Background, 95% of time farm use. Seeding food plots, boom spraying with 25gallon tank on rack and pulling trailer with average weight of300LB. Other 5% is steep technical trails for fun. Work schedule is slowing to where I would like to do some ATV vacations. Maybe out west and ride high elevations and in the desert. I love this machine like a wife because it has never let me down in 22 years of hard use. Guy has 2023 trx520 for sale. Fuel injection could be nice for hi elevation and starting when below freezing. Farm use and trapping constant on off. EPS power steering sounds great for spot spraying and being able to steer using one hand. IRS has to be better than straight axel for going down and over big boulders for my 5% trail riding. The teeter tottering steep downhill obstacles adds the pucker effect. THE DOWNFALL of IRS is how would handle 200LB ATV spray tank on back rack. Bike must have DCT automatic transmission because my 2002 has spoiled me not needing to shift while working. Also having 20 more cc is always a plus and with fuel injection thinking more pep. Any input is appreciated and bro wants my 2002.
  13. This is info I was looking for. Thanks
  14. 02 Rubicon when below 32F after sitting two weeks would barely turn over. After running it works fine. Happened first time thought loose ground. Other day mid 40s started normal. I have a load tester for auto battery's but to much for small battery's. How to test. Thinking 5 plus age and probably reading 12 volts.
