Sad day today............

.................finally winterized the RXT and called it quits for the season. Took it off the trailer and put it on a stand to tuck away in the corner of the garage out of the way. Impatiently waiting for May.........







And yes I did it all by myself, including the moving it from the trailer to the stand. Next time I'll make sure to have an extra hand to make it easier.

It is a sad day,,,

I'm headed home from a vacation as I type this. I'm afraid I am not to far behind you.

How in the heck did you move it yourself?! That's around 900 lbs.

Trailer attached to the truck with the stand up against it and ratchet straps to the work bench. Rather them up and put tension on them, grab the re boarding step and pull hard. After about 4 good pulls then the ratchet straps can pull it off the rest of the way because of less friction on the trailer planks. Next time I'll get some beer and a couple extra hands to make it easier

Wow! I've got mine still on a single trailer in my single garage as I have to find enough guys who are around at one time!

Yea that was my problem today but I still got it done. It wasn't easy though.

we dont winterize here, but, if i did i think i would put it in the garage with the seats off, and all the compartments open and let it all dry out real, real good for about 2 weeks or so, and then cover it up, -- btw, looks good and nice cover .. :cheers:

when i wash mine up, week to week,i put in garage , i leave seats off and storage compartments open all the time ...

You're right about the seats and all that. They're on but not latched. Same goes for the hood. It's lowered just enough to be able to put the cover on it.

Getting a bunch of rain right now. If it stays dry all week I will be winterizing next weekend
