I need help with a decision

I just pulled the trigger on a new X2. I am debating what to do with my Yukon. I bought the X2 because it is put together better for 4 wheeler usage. I am thinking about keeping th yukon as a spare. It is all set up with led lighting, hyfax, and an onboard, mounted battery with switches. My garage is kind of getting full of fishing gear, boat, X2, and I have an 8x8 suitcase porty also. I guess the main issue I have now is if I try to sell it now, I will take it in the shorts. If I store it all summer, then I will figure a system to get it out of the way. What should I do?

Yah, that is a tough one. "Space Management " is a very important activity. I would suggest trying to sell it for what you want right now, there is still a LOT of good fishing left this season, like Perch on Mille Lacs and Walleyes on LOTW. I bet you could sell it here in the forsale forum in a heartbeat, tho. If you can't sell it, then I would ask a friend with a little space left over to store it for me for a case of beer. smile.gif Overall, though, I think you will use the new one all the time, even if you keep the old one - transfer your setup to the new one and don't look back! Another idea -> build a double-decker storage shelf out of 2x3's and OSB, if you had to store it, that'd be pretty cheep.

I personally would wait until next year to unload the Yukon. I'd rig up a pully system using the 8 x 8 as a base, put the Yukon on top of it and hoist them both to the rafters.

TB2


I have a pulley system for the 8x8, but I am concerned that the extra weight of another house might be too much for my garage rafters(they are kind of old ~85years)

This is sure a predicament your in lad and sounds similar to a man with a wife and also a mistress and getting the ultimatum by both that he must choose one or the other . Take the one with the least mileage on her as she will keep you interested longer . LOL wink.gif

Well, the decicion has been made. The Yukon and the 8x8 are going down the road. I found out I actually have 2 8x8s, and a 5x6 also. Within the next couple of days I will list everything I have, and clean house. I guess the reason for the big sale is the better half said I can pull the trigger on a tandem axel wheel house in the summer. The one stipulation is it has to be big enough for her and the 3 kids.

    • 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.
