I usually use the 25 degree tip for the outside of the machine and the 40 for the inside and keep the wand back a good distance. So far no issues. I am amazed how many places there are on this thing that can hide mud. I use Honda spray polish on the plastic parts and the polycarbonate windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the spare mounted on the roof, that way it doesn't take up any precious cargo space 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spare is nice out of the way. It has been a work in progress to get right. Initially I mounted it over the center support(see 1st picture) but when i tightened it down it pushed the roof down in the rear a little. I added a brace to solve that(2nd picture) and now it's pushing down the roof in the front a little. My next step is to add another brace towards the front and it should be solved, hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have definitely used something lighter but I tend to grab whatever I have laying around the shop and in this case was some heavy flat bar. I would recommend 1/8" instead of the 3/8" I think that was. The front brace will be lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went a little different route on the materials. It feels pretty solid but isn't as beefy as the back brace. It also will make a good grab bar. The spare also feels solid now and is not stressing the roof any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of uses for these. They fit the roll cage very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
