• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Electronic cruise control install

    There is no switch harness, you pull your own wires to the switches, and solder them to the switches themselves, unless you are referring to the cruise switches you pick when you buy the package? Then you will have that 'plug' at the module itself then just add your own wiring and pull it to...

    H4 wattage draw OEM vs Slingmods LED's?

    Yeah, seems like embellishment to me on them specs. If they are true 200W a piece I would be scared to put them in anything short of glass and/or a metal enclosure. And simply looking at it there no way it can dissipate that much current draw and live to tell the story. Perhaps 200W equivalent...

    H4 wattage draw OEM vs Slingmods LED's?

    SlingMods states 30W possible be correct because it does have a boost driver on it I think, at about 19V so that will bring it down to ~30W or so

    H4 wattage draw OEM vs Slingmods LED's?

    Just went out to garage and checked with Mr. Fluke, these are the Elite LED HD 360: PER BULB @ 14.4 VDC idle HI - 2.4A = 34.56W LO - 1.3A = 18.72W HI = 4.8A Total LO = 2.6A Total

    How to increase ground clearance and which suspension is good for me?

    any recommendation for a rear shock? Is this setup noticeable, when looking at side view is the front markedly higher than back? thanks

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    Found a spot right about the upper shock bolt, holes are already there. I had a piece of 1in heavy aluminum angle, cut it to fit. Found some light brackets on Amazon, drilled it out a bit to work with these lights specific, KC has a huge bolt for these suckers. I used the AUX circuit to trigger...

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    This, exactly. When she wanted brighter lights and found that the LED bulbs are a PITA to deal with unless you have your tools with you, I installed a set of aux lights on hers, and she loves it. Earned lots of brownie points and even got the compliment that I am useful some times

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    Seem to recall on the wife's ryker it was 3 torx bolts (2021), but it sure was easier to do that than to fight it while it was attached. Spent more time trying to get old one out and new one in. Just a matter of minutes to pull the push pins out of the frunk and use torx bit socket and a ratchet...

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    There are rumors folks can do it without removing the frunk and headlight assembly, but I could not do it. It was just easier for me to take it apart, it just to damn tight to shoehorn a bulb in there. Bought the Elite LED HD 360 from slingmods for the wife's ryker.

    Does the Ryker have a Can Bus Electrical System?

    would be advantageous for you to get a service manual if you intend to do as much of your own wrenching as possible, best $15-$25 bucks you will ever spend, especially for these things, nothing is cheap on them

    Anyone have feedback on Slingmods rear rack capacity?

    The threaded part in the max mount is sort of shallow, perhaps half inch or so in depth, if that much, and of course the max mount is canuckistan aluminum, so not very strong either. A better bolt would be better, sure, most of the time you get chinesium fasteners with everything anyways. To...

    Anyone have feedback on Slingmods rear rack capacity?

    I put one on the wife's ryker, and put a Chase Harper 4250 on it. She doesn't do any traveling, just for her garbage she picks up or takes for her job commute and/or joy riding. Would say she has had twice that weight stuffed in there at one time or another. That rack is stout and heavy, could...
