P500 Back At It...

[trigger]

Getting some time to play and put more crap on the machine!
I started an addition on the house in the fall. All of my weekends from then on were spent on it. Tore out a bearing wall, put in a huge beam to carry the roof load. Busted ass to get it in the dry before snow started to fly. Finally finished it up, moved everything in and started using it again.
Ordered up some ITP Black Ops, got the tires mounted, didn't know about the splined lug nuts and tool that's needed to bolt them on. They're ordered and in transit.
Rockin' the KFI plow markers now...$13 on amazon.
Put a bigger graphic on the hood, just looked too small after seeing that bear head on Blue Berry.
Tinted the half shield with green fade to black. First time I ever messed with tint, wouldn't say it was hard, but it was time consuming.

Gotta keep these in the house for a few days, too cold in the garage.
More to come...

Awe man. Thanks for the shoutout!
What's a splined lug?

The holes in the new wheels are deep, you can't get a wrench on them. You either have to get super long lug nuts or get these kind with splines in them. They come with a thin walled tool that gets down in there. I dug back to a post from 2014 to get the info I needed.
This forum rocks, info you can't find anywhere else!

Looking good!

I have similar lug nuts on my son's truck. Have to keep that socket handy, just in case. Nice graphics btw!

Thanks lonewolf. Yeah I have one locker nut on each wheel of the truck. With these, they're all keyed.
Can't wait to get this thing put together, I have the Jak Bar coming too!

I thought you already had sweet tires?

Same tires, new wheels.

Read a post a while back where you said to go with 5+2 offsets on all four and then 1" spacers in back to have an even track width.
That is correct isn't it? I hope so or I just opened a can...
I'm hoping the windshield ties in a little with the Rukind covers.

If I remember correctly , they are not exact but they are very close , after you put the 1.00" spacers on the rear !

I never really put too much thought into this, but I guess your saying the hub faces in the front on the Pioneer 500, extend wider than the rear to compensate, for the narrower tires and wheels than the rear? So, once you put equal tires, and wheels on front and back, the front would be wider than the rear? Hence the reason for the 1" spacer.

All of this being said, I was curious if one could buy 5+2 offset in the front, and 4+3 in the rear, and basically accomplish the same thing, and not buy a spacer?

 

[Chooglin]

Yep , same as

I would say you would get the same results !

Finally got a chance to finish the console properly. It's been just raw wood inside since I made it.

Jak Bar just showed up. That's going in tomorrow. Hope it fits around the box!

Me too

Got after it a bit today again. Installed the @PistonHonda battery tender socket. Mounted mine to the front of the toolbox so the wires go right in to the power blocks box. Easily accessible, short wire run, I can plug right in without removing anything.
Went to install my Jakbar and it didn't quite clear the box. It was close but, guess one of us had to be the first. Lol. Sent @jak9922 some pics, said he'd fine tune it and get me another one out. I got a good look at it though and it's gonna be BA!
