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

I like the idea of the spare mounted on the roof, that way it doesn't take up any precious cargo space 😎

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

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.

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.

Lots of uses for these. They fit the roll cage very good. 1
