How do you like the fender protectors/foot pegs? I assume those are the Kimpex ones. I am looking at getting some for my brute but was a little concerned about how well they stay out of the way when folded up. Do you bump into them or do they get in the way when getting on and off the machine when folded up?
What Have You Done For Your Brute Today !

From another popular site this kind of thread gives everyone a place to post something thay just got done doing for their machines. Even if you just fired it up or washed it, POST IT!!
I'll start
Fitted my new Moose Dual Gasser Throttle on the bar today. Looks good...works great!. Can't use my new ODI grips so ordered a set of Pro Grip 793s. Also ordered a set of Douglas Quadrasport rims from Dicks ATV for that extra set of tires I have. Here's some pics. I did order the gray and black grips though.
I'm moving the 4wd drive switch to the left side replacing the override button with an HD stainless push on/off. I wanted a double pole switch so I could have the override and the 4wd and the only one that fit the size and type is made in England. Its on its way. And to make it water proof, the special cap has to come from Japan (wouldn't you know). That also is on its way. Pics? OK, here ya go.
Ok, your turn. Remember...we love pics and vids.

I had them and hated them. No matter how I set them I was always smacking my calve or ankle on them...always in the way. And without a raised seat you have to set the pegs much lower..even for a short-leged person which makes them in the way even more. Stayed up or down though and well enough made.
I even tried taking the pegs off when not needed and still..a PITA
Good to hear two differing opinions on them. I think we will give them a try on the wife's quad. She usually has my 10 year old daughter on behind her so they will hopefully be adjusted high enough to stay out of the way.I had them and hated them.

Still waiting on a few upgrades for my 19 Brute to come in, slowly they are arriving. So in the meantime I do what I can, got the plastic's back on with our warmer weather here. Installed the Voyager GPS unit but didn't bother with the gps wheel sensor, everything is working perfect, water temp readout/tach/mapping. Changed my mounting a little so I could access the mini-sdhc card easier.
Mounted the winch switch at the left handlebar controls, mounted the winch solenoid on the underside of the battery box. Cleaned up the accessory wiring under the front plastic's and along the right side of the upper frame body section to the battery.
Direction2 Overfenders should be in next week along with the Aluminum Products a/arm guards. Still debating on the belly plate brand. Believe I can make my own underside footwell guards from grated metal.
Working on the Raptor look front amber but mine are Green lights, with the Brutes upper grill having a slant to it, I have to add spacers to the lights for the correct angle of the lights, they will tie into the horn wires that are located at the top and behind the radiator, work only with Key On.
The Swaybar Bushings though wasn't as easy as the other Brutes I have had the years before 2012, don't know what changed but for the 19 Brute the Energy Suspension greaseable swaybar bushings needed modding to mount but they are installed.
Switched out the Sedona Ripsaw 25" tires over to the 26" ITP Teracross, stayed with the 12" wheels so I could stay with the Stock Kawasaki Mag looking wheels.
Installed the 1" wheel Spacers from Highlifter for a little extra width and to give a little bit more clearance on the right side at the gas tank to the rear tire.
Need to find the correct hole saw to mount a dual round USB plug at the gear shift knob.
Moved the Toolkit holder from under the seat to the left fender storage box, I drilled out the rivets under the seat, redid the rivet's at the storage box, I'll be keeping tire repair, extra spark plug's and other smaller tools in the left fender box.

6.2L V8 Gas with the 4.3 gears/rear electronic Locker Supercab 4x4 with a 3582# payload. Really nice truck.
