Just bought a 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe. I got a few basic options when i bought it like a roof, Windshield and winch. I have a lot of questions!!
Tires, Wheels, arched A-arms on my to do lists but maybe that will be an over the winter project.
-Is it worth buying upgraded shocks?
I don't want to spend a fortune but the look definitely needs an upgrade since it's a little boxy. Suggestions??
Biggest impact for performance and looks??

Skid plate and winch are the top 2 on my list. Roof to block the sun. Shocks if u can afford them.

The fox shocks are great. I did them before takeover and couldn't believe the difference in ride. As for best mods In my opinion the most important are the ones that protect your investment in the machine. Skid plates vent relocate and some sort of correction for the intake under the hood.

Wheel spacers give you a better stance and takes the tippy out of it. We also sell the door bushings to stop the rattle in the doors. You will see after a few rides the doors will rattle. at rb3offroad.com we offer a 10off coupon for orders over $120.00 use code taketen

Any suggestions for the vent relocations and the intake?
I plan on skid plates for the future, as of not the stock one is on it but I’ll eventually get to it.

Once I do the wheels and tires, I’ll use the spacers in the rear to equal up the stance.
Do the door bushings totally take away the rattle?

I would do the skids first!
I did the gates radiator hose for a stealth snorkel and bought the vent line kit from Amazon. I agree with smitty the skids are important. There are a lot of vulnerable parts down there and the factory protection is lacking.

For a lot of people a skid plate is not needed. I understand it is for some people’s riding. For me be a waste of $ for what I do.

I bent the crossmember riding around the farm probably in the first ten miles. At 800ish miles I made my skid plate and found my slightly bent crossmember.

I haven’t bent anything in 5k . Some need it some don’t. Not trying to bust anyone’s balls . Just saying for a lot of ATV riders a skid plate isn’t needed .

Yep the RB3 bushings took out all of my door rattle. Adjust the latches on the bed, each latch adjusts. And put rubber weather stripping between the roof and the roll cage and you should be rattle free. I am
