I have been reading the posts on modifieng the Frabill Comando. I liked the idea of moving my seat back also. What I did was order 2 more of the metal corner braces that the rods connect to. I then removed the front seat brace an installed the new corner braces 12 inches behind the rear seat brace then the former front brace is now the rear seat bracket. I hope this makes sense to you but it sure worked out good for me. I think the total price for the braces and shipping was 16.75.

Bullheaded

An interesting solution? I see what your saying and that is not a bad plan, but how well does the poles and the tarp lay with the new corner assembly's on the edge of the sled base?

Won't the 45 degree brackets interfere with things as it would need to turn inwards into the sled? Did you butcher the braces in two so the half does not stick inwards?

I see both potential complications and opportunity's with that system. Depends on what you intend to use the redundant inside section of the 45 degree corner brace for?

well I got around to modifying my seat height--had some new brackets made up--cost $10 for materials --I'm looking forward to using it and see how it works out-----feels way more comfortable now. I cut the seat height down by at least 4 inches. I'd post some pics -but can't figure it out

Anyone else happen to notice the "Striking Resemblance" of the new Clam ice shack bags, to my UTV storage system I posted on here last season?

The new Clam Lights look oddly familiar too?

Huh...that's odd ... must be yet just another coincidence...Eh? wink

Ed~ I was thinking the same thing after seeing the pictures of your mods. I need to get together with you sometime and check out your shack in person. Wish I would have seen this post last year crazy

I am hoping to get a few mods done on mine before the ice hits.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
