Yeah, sucks for sure. But you have to remember, this RTV is a work horse, I'm actually surprised it isn't worse.Looks like you need Tommy to make you some grill stoppers. Looks like a nice hole in your grill.
Yea, but you don't want to poke an eye out of a work horse. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you poke out one of their eyes, don't they then only go around in circles?
Here's something I was tinkering with for the headlights but I never did get them welded in. If you have a bunch of sticks, it may be worth considering to try to save the lights the big stuff.
Edit to add: Oh, and to stay on subject, you can see Tommy's stick stoppers in the first pic. And TWO GUNS - I still think I got the first pair.

Yes, I believe that's true. But technically, the damage to mine wasn't an eye, it's more of a nostril...
As for yours, I didn't catch on to what you were referencing until just now. Not sure what you cut that out of but it's so well done it looks like part of the RTV. Very nice! What did you do to get your RTV lifted like that? Certainly that's not all from the rims/tires?

Ohhhh Kaaayyy.
Did it take longer to lift the RTV or install the stoppers? IIRC they only take a minute to install.
I had another helper!
With the old prowler I had I could find the balance point and lift it with one fork. For some reason it seemed more stable with two.

Just a suggestion: jack up a front wheel and remove it ... put a jackstand under the axle ... makes it a piece of cake to bolt-on the stick stoppers. Lay the pieces atop the axle ... turn them around a coupla times until you visualize how they bolt on. You'll see how straightforward and simple it is. Peanut provides you with top quality parts.

And he throws in a couple metric bolts just for fun.....
Well they are on and look great - thanks Peanut - not sure about the 3-5 minutes installation though - taking the tires off helped alot - thanks for all the advice
Peanut - sounds like you are maybe too busy for this but just a suggestion. If you wanted to really produce alot of these stick guards think about fabricating some for the Polaris Rangers. I owned three of them before I figured out the Kubota fits my needs better. But Polaris has a huge issue with their boots - I had to replace mine multiple times at high cost - even had to force Polaris to pay for 6 CV joints the last time it happened.
They sell their own brush guards but they are designed poorly and if you ever go through mud they actually accumulate the mud inside the guards - then when it dries it tears the boots.
Anyway just a thought - if you ever wanted to produce alot of these then give it a try - thanks again - I like the ones you made

Can't make these for a living because the only way to make money at it would be to mass produce them and I'm not set up to do that.I have a small shop that can realy only handle one jobat a time.I do the stickstoppers just to do them.things might get better now because I was offered a shop foremans job so now it looks like its gonna be 40hours a week and weekends off.I still am going to do the lift boats repairs an also the hydraulic crane repair work on the side too but that is a as needed thing there so I might have some weekends off.I also still do well plug and abandement jobs too because I make some good money on those thier a bit on the feadly side but really good money.plus the ocassional atv bumper jobs.still putting away material for my bigger shop and after I get that done then I can really turn out some stuff. As for as the boots acumilating mud I hhaven't seen a set out there that won't keep mud out.an your right about the drued mud ripping a boot that's why its important to rinse off your equipment after riding in mud.also spray all you hoses an boots with armor all to keep the rubber nice an soft. I have found that its easier to wash everything down an as much of theboot area as you can then let what mud yoy csnt get off dry.then after its dried you can get it out a lot easier with your hand an a air compressor blow gun.

I might add that the Stick Stoppers as originally made will not fit the X series of RTV.
