I use a couple of different RAM kits. One is in my boat..the other for my truck...and one more for the ATV. The one for the boat and atv are a ball joint connection..and the one for the truck is a suction cup connetion.

Like to know if i could use that on my ATV

as well, I am borrowing the ATV dont want to drill holes and mount stuff on it!

Was thinking just plop it on the gas tank, plenty of real estate there for a 3 to 4 inches suction cup.

I notice you mention you have a lever to activate the suction cup , whats that all about?

thank you for your info, does gander sell these?

I'm not sure if it would hang onto a four wheeler with all the pounding or not. You can by a mount that would go on the handle bars with a hose clamp that might work better for that application. Basically, you'de just need the hose clamp base and a suction base, then you could switch the arm and holster between the two.

If you look at the base of mine, you can see the lever I'm talking about. Basically, you put the suction cup where you want it, then, twist the lever which pulls suction on the suction cup and locks it down.

The ram mount on my wheeler has been there for three years and the H20 has riden there for many miles across the state. Never once have I had a problem. I believe I could roll the wheeler a couple times and that mount would still be there. Awesome mount. cool.gif

Hey cliffy:

That is the simplest bar mount! I've never seen that one while hunting through the usual cluster of RAM accessories that dealers have on display. What's the range of bar diameter that RAM mount will fit? (I'm looking for the right one for a canoe thwart.) Do you know a part number?

Oh, and while I was out looking for it just now, I found this statement on the RAM-Mount HSOforum: "NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles."

Aren't WE special?...

I think its about one inch closed...there is some adjustability with the screw length. The part number on the one I have is RPR-B-215.

I suppose it all falls under the basic law that says we cant have stuff hanging from our rear view mirror or cracks in the windshield....basically anything that obstructs your view of the road is illegal. I still use my GPS in my truck...it is stuck to window in the lower left hand corner...seems like a safe spot.

Yeah, mine obstructs my view...of my hood! I feel safer with it there than trying to look down at it.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
