Thule snowboard/fishing pole racks Aloha gang! This hillbilly has been busy ripping apart my 01' sportster for a rebuild project but wanted to pop in and share my Thule snowboard/fishing pole racks I got off of amazon for about $150. They are made for our 4th gens and work very well. Easily...

thanks fellas!

I came across the punisher grille emblem inserts in this forum a few weeks back and cant seem to find it again. any help would be greatly appreciated folks. oh also trd emblems as well.... many thanks, HH

just a tad higher and more sturdy riding. once your bumper is on you should be good to go. they take a while for the new springs to settle in anyhow so you'll feel the difference in a couple months. awesome plan my friend!

I am very glad that it was an easy fix and can help other T4R peeps out if this ever happens to them. sharing is caring and ive learned a lot about my runner because of this forum. So much so that I got the wife a 4th gen too. awesome rigs to have fun in and a daily driver too. aloha. HH

THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF this Hawaiian Hillbilly! I truly appreciate it!

I was so glad to see that it was an easy fix gang! Now the wifes 'new to us" 03 T4R V8 will be on the road today after I get the front axles and calipers changed out. Will post pics of that as well. Shes diving to the right when I hit the brakes now so I'm assuming front calipers are frozen or...
