P1000 10,000 miles before any fun was had.

[red1329]

I bought 2016 pioneer 1000-5 with 10,000 miles
the price was right and the unit was exactly what i was after! bought september 2019. ill be catching you guys up to present day rather quickly with old pictures.

the miles brought the price down. not beings scared of work but very scared of spending money i bought it!
came with full Honda cab. hard doors. rear panel. bed insert. full glass windshield with whiper, aftermarket tires, light bar and the honda accessory fuse box and a few little odds and ends for 10,000$

fist thing i noticed is it doesn't have heat! and Honda's full cab sucks compared to my uncles Polaris. and my friends kabuto..

here is a rough pictures of day one trailering it home!

a good picture of it with the doors and rear cab off doing the first clean up.. 10,000 miles of dust removal.

soon after buying the unit i started to add heat... this was a mess.

this is the storage space under the seat.

this is the hoses running up to the front of the unit. i used a peace of 1.5" pvc with a slit cut into it to protect the hose from the drive shaft. i just slipped it over the drive shaft and zip tied it in place. (its not in the picture youll see it in the redu of the heat.)

i used the cup holders for the defrost and top vents

i put the defrost vent in the access panel for the feet warmer. i did this so i wasn't modifying my dash. i can replace this panel if needed... (good thing i ended up reducing the heat and bought a new panel.)

now that i have heat installed it was time for a new paint job... the charcoal looks good when new but 10,000 miles in the scratches and sun fad on the black plastic makes the color panels blend in and look all worn out.

 

[red1329]

oh i guess i did my turn signals some where before he paint job.. no pictures of that mess. one tip i will give is the 2016 pioneers the brake light wires are separate wire for left and right but then they tie into a bullet connecter by the tail gate. you'll need to cut the bullet connecter off and make the true dual wires. i used a Toyota truck trailer adapter kit. and switch and blinker from amazon.

now that its street legal and has heat and looks nice its time to plow!!

this plow is an on going peace of work.. here is how it started

laser cut and formed it up.. tac welded to isure it all fits.

got to stay warm while i build stuff!!

oh and i stoll the color panel off my half doors. i drilled out the full door and used plastic rivits.

back to the plow.. these are it mocked in spot.. nothing connected to the unit yet

 

[red1329]

now that the plow has a swivel mount and is somewhat finished i made a custom arm to connect to my unit.

what i did was make a plate that bolted to where the front and rear frame bolts together. the tab hangs down about 1.5" and has hole for the swing arm of the plow to bolt to.. i mounted the plow further back like this so the weight of the plow was carried on the front and the back shocks. it weights 220LS

 

[red1329]

so i didnt get any pictures of it finished for the year. but there is more to come when i figured out how much design change i needed to do..

here is some pictues of the trailer i built. i had to make it another 12" wider and builts some ramps for the sxs!

 

[red1329]

here are a couple pics of me giving my uncle some s*** for is ranger. he can load half the wood in his and it sags like 6 inches.

 

[red1329]

alright so back to the plow!!
i bought a spring kit.
and if your notice the one part that isnot painted.. it was made out of .25 plate... i remade it out of .5 to avoid it getting bent again.

 

[red1329]

i got the second spring mounted and made matching spring mounts.

 

[red1329]

i had to help wire up my buddies 2021 pioneer 700 so i took some pics of the adapter kit i bought.

and a picture of how bad i abuse this lovely unit!

 

[red1329]

my plowing partner is tired!

 

[red1329]

the trailer ramp pole vaulted under the trailer...

 

[red1329]

now if i didnt make it clear.. the honda cab sucks!!

so i spent alot of time sealing it up! silicone the gauge cluster.. because that leakes air for some reason...

also i bought expanding foam shipping bags.. you pop them and they fill cavities full.. they work great filling the gaps under the seat where a ton of air come in from around the roll cage.

also i re did my heat.. i moved the floor heat to behind my calf to keep the run as short as possible. and i insulated the duct work best i could.

this is under the windsheild infront of the fire wall

behind the shock tower passenger side vent

under the floor board, also you can see the pipe protector i made.

shift boots installed!!\

if you look close you can see the silicone job on the cluster.. it attracts dust.. but when cleaned it actually looks nice.

 

[red1329]

the dip is pealing off the unit bad.. i was sqeezing into the since door with my truck in the shop.. it rubbed the opening a few times..

so we went with white!! new paint is here to stay i love it way more then the blue!!!

i little extra touch on the hood!

 

[red1329]

 

[red1329]

now we get to the recent fun!!

i added 3" pipe in the rear and 2" pipe in the front both cut at 1" long we will call it the 123 lift! it gave me the 1.5" of lift you seen in the picture.

 

[red1329]

oh and i guess if you have a heavy snow blade you can also push rock!! i also added a back drag and wear blade on the front.

 

[red1329]

its time to play!! spring is here and we are not waiting time this year!!! indiana bad lands! if you want to meet me there on a weekedn let me know id love to go again.. its about 3hrs from us!

 

[red1329]

in the works to getting bigger tires under the unit i had to test and see what kind of power loss id have..

i made some adapters and bolted on some Silverado rims..

full disclaimer just because i did something doesn't mean you should.
