Anti-theft question????

[Moonshine]

A simple and easy deterrent is a padlock with the shackle placed through one of the holes in the rear brake rotor.

I learned nothing about driving, and my Crystal Gayle shirt was ruined.

When not able to park in the garage, what are people using, if anything, for anti-theft? Anybody using the club on the steering wheel? Wheel lock, a.k.a. boot? Chain and padlock?

I put a Hillbilly Brake, which is a Parking / Hill Brake, on my 14' P3LE. It's drilled for a padlock. Honda SXS Accessories | Hillbilly Brake

I cable lock the wifes with a steel braided cable, the type cables like we have at work when you wanna lift something heavy with a crane. They have braided in eyelets on each end. I use a big ass padlock. The theory behind this is that a thief cant cut the cable with bolt cutters, and the lock shank would be a b**** to cut because its so thick. However, nowadays battery tools are so common a well prepared thief could cut the cable or lock with a Milwaukee battery powered grinder with a cut-off wheel on it. I was thinking of getting one of those 12v gps locator things and hiding it away in the wiring harness somewhere incase it was stolen, but then I realized I hate the Pioneer 1000. It has gap insurance.

What do you hate about it?

I have looked at those, but they only list them for the P1k and Talon. I have a P700, but they look awesome for winching.

That makes sense because the 700 comes with a parking brake. But, If there was a way you could depress the brake peddle and get a pad lock on it, you'd be good to go. I recently sold mine and got a 14' P3 LE with 1100 miles on it. I loved my 700 but I just needed the extra room. The 700 didn't cook my right butt cheek like the 1000 did. Put a DEI insulation kit in and it helped.

That's a great idea.

Constant overheating problems, had to have the clutches replaced almost as soon as we got it, to the tune of $1339, I think I have to replace the clutches again also, but this time Im doing it myself. Wont go into low range, tried adjusting the shift cable that goes to the sub trans but that wasnt it. Apparently I have a bent shift fork or messed up gear teeth in the sub trans. I guess its a problem with the P1000s other people have had too. My wife has said many times she wishes she never traded in her P7-4 for this P1K5. I agree with her. I think we got a lemon though, because my wifes cousins both have P1000s and they put those things through hell and have only ever broken axles and a rear diff. Never any overheating problems or engine/tranny problems. I also know other people besides them that give their P1000s hell and no problems.

Sorry to hear about your issues. The only problem with mine is the engine heat baking my buns. Put an insulation kit from DEI in and it helped but didn't eliminate all the heat. A friend of mine had to have his sub trans repaired. He was knee deep in mud and water in high gear automatic.

That took out sub trans? Was he shifting the transfer? I’d expect just clutches

It probably was just the clutches. He said sub trans, though. I don't know what he was doing exactly because I wasn't with him at the time. But, the mud I mentioned is thick, deep, and sticky and the water he goes through is usually over his knees after a rain. he goes as fast he can everywhere he goes, no matter what he's going through to get there. And he is almost always in high gear when he should be in low. But, he's hard headed.

Yeah she always uses low on the trails and in the mud or water. Hell, you can go over 30 m.p.h. in low, there really aint a need for high unless on a hardpack dirtroad or highway, and she hardly ever is on those. I know what you mean about the baked buns lol.
