Ahhh. Good advice.

There must be a better brake setup. More brake calipers doesn't add up to me. At least a double pot caliper up front would improve braking tremendously I would think. I'll do some investigating and let everyone know what I come up with.

I'm new on this forum, so please forgive me if there's been a thread on this subject before. I did do a search and have found refs to other threads, but haven't found a reply to this issue.

First off: Crappy brakes. Noticed that the pads ony contact about two thirds of the actual disc width area, and what's with the two caliper deal on the back wheel??? Anyone found a caliper replacement, perhaps from a motorcycle or small car that might fit and give the brakes some extra bite?

Winch issue: Doesn't work. Traced the power to the octastyle relay above the battery, which is fused. A new one is on the way from Joyner-usa.com ([email protected], contact bryan). Is there anything else I should change or be worried about winch-wise?

We´re volunteers and use this in central america to reach communities that can only be reached on horseback or rugged vehicle, so we need a reliable winch.

Thanks for all your help!

Seems like the easier of the two fixes. Did you do it from the inside or the outside?

Thanks DD!

Anyone have any problems with gas leaking out from the plug on top of the gas level assembly? Other than that, my 08 tank is just fine, with no cracks I can see. Then again, there's only 1k on the machine.
