It's taken six months to find the right set of stabilizers and have the time to install. (www.domar.com) I had two friends to hold the stabilizer in place (JACK and Jack) and six self tapping bolts later, the stabilizers were installed. Had to remove the foot and then screw back on to do the front bolts. BEFORE During AFTER Of course I picked the Sunniest day and got a little sunburn (never fails). Anyway for those who didn't get front stabilizers, these were 19.99 a piece and I also got the foot pad and wheel for the front from the same company. Lee |

It appears that the front stabilizers were put on at a angle unlike the rear. Is there anyway that they can be installed similar to the rear. KEN

Because of the electrical and lp line they can't go on the same way the back ones are installed. Lee Sorry about the delay ...must have missed this post. |

As Lee said, no. There are electrical lines, propane lines and a few ground points in the way (see my first post in this thread). However, it is possible to mount the stabilizers lengthwise on the r-pod. This would leave the end of the jacks (where you place the crank) sticking out the front of the r-pod about 3". I chose not to do this and installed the jacks on an angle so that everything remained hidden.
