Replaced the ball joints, tie rod ends, front brake pads, and installed high lifter front springs this past week. Next will be new CV axles, simple audio tube setup, and 27's down the road.

My sketchy make-shift spring compressor:

After:

And just finished snorkels on my buddy's Sportsman 850:

Added a 12 volt outlet and a snorkel for the front diff, rear diff, carb, and crankcase breathers.

thats a great idea. you'll regret it though if you dont put some loops in the hose. if you dont and you sink it the diff's, brakes and fan will fill with water

I will have to do that. But I made it to where if any water did get in the snorkel (not much) i could just drain it via the screw in cap at the bottom that you can see in the pic.

dont get me wrong. thats a great idea. but having swamped one before that little catch you have for the water will fill right up. lol.

have you snorkeled your carb breathers and the carb drain.

have you made loops in you crank case breather??

Yea there isnt much room to really hold water if swamped, I mad add a little tank at the bottom if there is room but idk.
the carb overflow one is plugged and the top breather off the carb is one of the small lines going into the snorkel. Loops will be made tomorrow or this weekend.

so long as you make loops in any of the hoses you wont have to worry about making a tank. loops will save you a$$!!! lol
