Thanks Tom!
I ended up getting the braces welded in and the front mount trimmed off this morning:
I forgot to make a leading edge for the front, but I can do that anytime.
Should work quite nicely! Gonna have to hit the trails and try 'er out now, haha.

Thanks Rich, I actually took to the trails for a little bit after I put it back on and it worked great!
Some action shots of course:
Even got a sweet front wheel off the ground shot!
Works good! I had it rub against an idler a couple times when the frame flexed and it made a little bit of noise, but that's pretty minor.
Next up, skidplates!

Had the GT out in the snow today. There weren't any real deep spots obviously, but it was still lots of fun!

Yeah it's pretty much all melted here now. I think it was kind of just a warning, haha.

Went out for a little bit of trail maintenance with the GT today, biggest thing was a tree that had fallen right across the path.
Cut up and moved out of the way:
All clear again! Did a little bit of cruising around after that, we've been getting a ton of rain so there's water everywhere:
Lots of mess to play in! Haha.

Yeah the hood rack is real nice to have, I toss stuff up on there all the time. Also I did bomb through the water, haha. You have to cross it to get to the trail entrance over on the left.

Well we got my cousins four-wheeler running today, so it seemed like a good time to hit all the trails!
Only got a couple of pictures:
Had lots of fun! Then I jacked 'er up when we got back to check the front wheel bearings and what not.
Found this on the one wheel:
Haha, whoops. Bit worn I'd say!
Yeah looks like I'll be picking up a bearing kit, probably do both sides too cuz they were both a bit loose.
Oh well, still had lots of fun!

Forgot to update the other day, but picked up two trailer bearing kits for the ol' GT.
New bearings, races, seals, and even some shiny dust caps!!
Good to go, then we did some ridin' again.
Should last a long time now!

Thanks fellas! Yeah the hood rack definitely comes in handy quite often.
