Recommended Posts

Just picked up my new X2 this week, my wife thinks i'm nuts but thats alright. I can,t wait for ice this year, it cant come quick enough. I think I might need some help I think i'm addicted to ice fishing. The wife doesn't understand why I need so many shacks, I just look at it as a collection! cool.gif

Last night I was sitting in my 6x8 with the heater on, wishing that it was ten degrees outside with a foot of ice. Wouldn't that be grand! smile.gif It was great to see all of the ice fishing gear coming out at scheels the other day. It helps to ease my pain. smirk.gif

My wife thought I had it bad I only have 3 houses. I guess I better go shopping!

By the way I'll have to admit I have a problem. I'm addicted to ice fishing! Please God bring ice fast and keep it safe for all to enjoy.

Thank you

I believe the first step inthe twelve step process is admitting i have a problem... I HAVE AN ICE FISHING ADDICTION. in the warm days now i sit and put new line on my ice reels, have been tying my own knots for the slip bobbers, and shinning up my new auger that hasnt been on the ice in its life yet... im excited...im gonna go sit in my ice house now...

You think you guys have it bad, I live just outside of Las Vegas Nevada. It is still in the mid 70s here. Are favorite place to ice fish is 300 miles one way. The only good news is it's dropping to the mid 20s up there at night. The lake is 7200 feet above sea level and by december we should be able to venture out on the ice. I've been fishing in a hole for 8 years now, I don't know why but we just love it. grin.gif

Waiting for ice? crazy.gif

With all that open water and the "BIG" fish just waiting to bite smile.gif

To me this sounds like, "I cant have a beer cause it ain't cold enough to drink" cool.gif

It will be here soon enought, enjoy the present.

    • 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.
