nothing since. Others have had it replaced again. I believe there has been a design change in newer models.

I'm probably going to need a new rear tire after the trip to Maggie Valley. I can get a Toyo Extensa HP II for $170 locally. Would this be a decent tire? Would it be better than a Nitto for $180?

I won’t use Nitto again. Terrible traction. I have a supercharger that makes it worse. My wife had a Nitto on hers and she didn’t like it either. Loved my Nitto MTs on my Jeep but I hate the street tire on the back of a Sling. I think others have had the issue too.

it was built by a gentleman in Canada who built movie cars. He was on the forum but he passed away a couple years ago.

what’s the question?

Happy birthday Mr. Bubbles!!!

Thanks all! My birthday was great. 68 and I’m still going strong!

Hey DER , if you are still in Harrison, AR let us know. We can get there quick.

I set up a small ride here in Rogers last year and the hotel I used gave us a great price. We had 18 Slings and 1 motorcycle without advertising. Two great, long rides. Even met 3 other Slings on the first ride and they joined us all the way. Didn’t have vendors but probably will if we do it again.

Frank the Tank , the Duracell AGM Powersport Battery - ETX30LA is $126.57 at Sam's Club. I have used one for over two years. Never a problem..

Sorry I’m late Bro but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

My cousin died two weeks ago from Covid. Patti’s brother and whole family (at least 7 of them) got Covid. We had made it to Tulsa on the way to OKC to see everyone. Got the word and turned around and headed back home.

when people say Arkansas is closed during winter storms they mean it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EJ!!!

Congratulations!!!

I had my wife’s rear Alpha shock rebuilt by JRI. Only took about a week and a half from taking it off to putting it back on. It blew at Maggie Valley and someone had a take-off rear shock that we put on to get back home. Now I have to pull her two front shocks to get them rebuilt. Weather will be bad for the next couple weeks so won’t be an issue. My shocks are JRIs and haven’t had any issues with them.

Happy Birthday Bubblehead !!!

Thank y’all so much for the birthday wishes. I thought I was 66 but my wife tells me I’m 67. Still just middle age though!

Happy Birthday BKL !!! Your information is always helpful!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEITER!!!

504steve ,I ran into a couple in TX who took their 45lb dog with them everywhere. He built a platform that went across his wife’s lap with legs to the floor so she wouldn’t have the dog or the platform on her legs. They also had a strap from the dogs harness to the seatbelt. They didn’t seem to have any issues after thousands of miles like that. And the dog seemed happy as well.

And welcome!
