P1000m5 Adam490's Short Bus

Adam490 submitted a new Garage Item:

Adam490's Short Bus Budget Build

Bought new from Honda Powersports of Covington. Went with the P1k5 after riding a few times with my daughter on my Rubicon and realizing we needed something more secure and comfortable to fit the whole family. She's been dubbed the Short BusView attachment 142813

Was trying to figure out an easy way to pack my little 10" electric chainsaw and had an idea. Drilled two 1/4" holes in the chainsaw bar. Had some extra threaded rod from another project and it worked out pretty damn good! I used the two existing bolt holes in the front of the bed and just threaded the rod in. I'm going to add a piece of foam on the back of the harness bar for the handle part to rest against. I ordered some knobs so I can cut the rod down some more and not have the exposed studs sticking out.

If I had to buy the threaded rod it'd have cost me around $8 total for the whole shabang (or $18 with the Amazon knobs):

I can't take all the credit, @joeymt33 told me to check eBay for a Virb when I was looking at action cams. You can find some really good deals on Virbs. I picked up a Garmin Virb XE with some mounts and 3 extra batteries for around $180 I believe. The telemetry on the Virbs is what sold me on it. It's really hard to tell how steep or off-camber a trail is without the telemetry to show it.

Yeah, that was one thing I liked about your videos, I will check that out tomorrow, thanks for the help, oh and I love the “I need a bigger screwdriver “ video it’s priceless.

Mine is mounted to the lower half-windshield of my SATV flip up. I had it on the hood and it shook like a crackhead on payday. I used a Go-Pro flat mount that attaches with 3M tape. It's hit trees, mud, sand, pressure washer and held like a champ (I pull the camera off before pressure washing). I think I bought a bag of 10 mounts that was 5 flat and 5 helmet with 3M tape for around $15 on eBay.

Edit: Bought the mounts off Amazon

Go-Pro style quick mounts

Those small pool noodles work great on doors. That extra padding comes in handy if you ever roll it a few times (I would know lol)

Do those make a big difference with the heat in the cab?

For sure. Only downfall is I get a weird tan on that leg 😂

Oh he tested it alright. If he can't break them they can't be broke lol. Rat tested, Rat approved.

Just adding this for future reference... My front uppers just blew apart when I was greasing them and I looked all over for the zerk size

I've got an M6 fitting kit that includes drill bit and tap. It's come in handy several times on these machines

Lousy stock door hinge bolts finally gave up the ghost today. Picked up some better hardware from auto parts store

Got the old girl some new clothes, but FedEx only delivered the drivers side today. Both sides had pretty significant cracks in them. Probably @joeymt33 fault...

 

[Adam490]

Fought with the SATV uppers trying to get them to take grease. Neither side would take grease and the bushing is damn near fused to the sleeves. If I wasn't going to ride this weekend I would have knocked the crappy bushing out and added grooves until I can get a hold of some @RB3offroad bushings.
