P1000m5 Bad_Bowtie's Boring Budget Build

[Delton]

Looky looky! Thanks again @JTW .

Ended up putting 1 1/2" spacers in the rear and putting the 1" in the front.

Looks good! Youll love those spacers. Youll notice difference right off the bat.

Thanks! I started to just do 1" in the rear but figured I might as well do the fronts as well.

My 1st test ride was on the road and difference was amazing. She took curves way better.

Glad I got them on this morning, I've spent the rest of my day cleaning up mud slides

Had a great ride today at Windrock, everything was a muddy mess, but that just made it better. The Hornett spare tire carrier did great. Didnt even notice it behind us. I did overheat on trail 2 as soon as we started up the mountain. The fan wouldn't kick on so I turned it off and back on and about 15 seconds later the fan finally kicked on. Guess I'll be calling the dealer about the ECM update tommorow. Also the new tires and wheels rub the mudbusters bad. Looks like forward a arms may come sooner than I thought.

Also found I had a wheel spacer loosen up on the back. I used red loctite, so not sure what happened their. I remember reading somewhere that there was an expiration date on loctite, so may be time for a new bottle.

Heres a pic of doors.

Where did you find the nerf bars ?

 

[Bad_bowtie]

I've had a run of bad luck out of my Amazon switches. I've had 3 fail altogether. I just replaced the bottom row with OTRATTW switches, now I need to order my winch, bilge fan , and horn. Should have went with OTRATTW from the start. It's nice that they fit the Mystic switch covers without having to whittle them down like the cheap Amazon switches.

Sucks spending $$ twice. I have been trying to push people towards legit carling switches for some time now.
The actuator is removable on the amazon switches, so you can buy the cheaper ones from otrattw and use existing actuators.

I had to resolder some of my amazon switches before they were even installed.
When I was bench testing my setup, removing the wires would pull the terminals right out of the back of the switch.

Well that sucks. Gotta say ive had great luck outta my amazon panel n switches. I liked them cause they come with their own 10a breaker.

Same here.. I’m redoing my setup because the mictuning just don’t last!

 

[Bad_bowtie]

We spent a couple days riding at our hunting property scouting and changing stand setups. Didn't take long for the tire rub to become unbearable on the mudbusters. They must be tough or they would already be torn off.

In the meantime, until I can do offset A-arms or some shocks that will increase ride height, I threw a set of spacers on the front. Unfortunately I didnt realize they wouldn't fit the rear load leveling shocks until after I ordered them. So for the time being the Pk5 is dragging its ass. But I'm not scrubbing anymore!

Lmao... it looks like you’re going really fast even when sitting still.

I seen you posted some wheels and tires a few days ago but I can't find it now. I also seen you say you wanted forward arched a-arms. I got some brand new front SATV a-arms that I bought 8 months ago and never installed. I've decided not to use them. I will do some trading with you on them if you're interested. I will be in pigeon forge Saturday and Sunday for a softball tournament. If your interested, I can bring them with me for you to look at.

I sold those wheels and tires locally the other day so I deleted the post with them in it. I do have 4 new in the box 15" wheels. I would like to have the superatv arms. What would you have to have for them straight up or with the 15" wheels. You can shoot me a PM for my cell#. Since your in East Tennessee, we probably need to ride sometime anyways.

I guess I'm too stoopid to figure out how to send a PM. Only thing I seen is start a conversation. I will take $250. If you're interested you can send me a PM and I will give you my cell#.

I'm not really interested in those 15 inch wheels. I'm gonna buy another 1000 eps to go along with my 1000-5 and the 12 inch wheels and tire would've been great for some spares.
