Around 225-250 for ten minutes, didn't do a set temp really, would just set it and wait for them to get good and hot, varied temp until I was happy. Had to bake both of them twice. Got the second one open without anymore bloodshed.


-did you have to use 4wd to get through that snow?

Nice. At least they are open now. What did you buy to seal them? RTV or butyl?

Hell yeah I had to use 4WD. I almost got stuck going up a steep hill, but she pulled through.

Personally, I use 4WD anytime there is snow on the ground for better control not necessarily for plowing through the snow. I live on some hilly and winding back roads. It always pays off to use 4hi.

Hopefully everything will work out. I get a little nervous sending money to a complete stranger. Paypal ftw

I have done it many times and it has worked out. As long as you send the money for goods/services, you are covered with buyers protection.

Never, never, never gift money for goods or services.

I'm planning on reusing what's on them. Worse comes to worse, I'll smear something along the outside, was thinking regular silicone for that if I needed it because I want to be able to easily get back in them if I need to. Doesn't rtv get pretty hard when it cures?

And oh okay, I was gonna be impressed as hell if you didn't have to use it lol.


-All that I've gotta worry about is liquid water getting in. These things have 10 vents a piece for moisture to get out lol.

To be honest, I would remove all of the old sealant and use fresh. TRS sells a big roll of butly for $15.

Not all RTV. I picked up some RTV black silicone adhesive sealant. Fully cures in 24 hrs and stays flexible. Withstands fuel, oils, etc. Also rated for -40°F to 450°F. I believe Carlton used the same. Can be easily cut back open with a razor knife.

There is no way I would have made it in two wheel drive. This is only because I had to stop on the hill. Some jackass was plowing his driveway with his rider mower and was stuck in the middle of the road when he tried to turn around :duh:

Well I guess if I have major water/moisture infiltration I'll redo them better but for now I'm going the easy route even if it's half-assed. :rotfl: If I have issues, I'll blame it on it being my first retro.

And lol, he was plowing it at night? Must've been damn bored lol.

They never touch the county roads. HOA fees pays for the guys to do the neighborhood. County is cheap :no:
