Did you just use two chains to tie the hoe down? Ratchet tight on one side? That's how I do my larger tractors; its just such a pain to find good places to tie them down.

If Im running local, then yes, I'll just use 2. That pic, yes. Did two in the back and one in the front after I got home and found my other binder. The DOT man wants 1 per corner and attachements secured to, but sometimes you only have so many chains and binders. Sometimes, you gotta make it work.

Yep, they tell me 1 per corner, but sometimes I end up with the not enough binders! Nice setup.

Been awhile, but the next mod is getting underway. Got with Trevor at PMF and ordered up some 2.5" Icon coils, adjustable track bar, and 3-link arms. Was able to get the coils in before it got dark. I'll knock the other two items out in the morning. Gonna slap on some 295/65/20 Toyo MTs and get her aligned. So far, so good.

looking good, how would you compare the ride of the coils to stock being you still have stock tires on there?

Little softer ride. Can't wait to see the difference with better shocks.

It's made a very noticeable difference for me. Glad I did it.

Got the 3-link arms and adjustable track bar on today. 400 ft/lbs is tight!!!!

Also added 295/65/20 Toyo MTs. Really happy with the way in turned out.
