P500 Bought Another P500

Yeah I don't wires through the roof or the rops. I always take it to the nearest edge. The one in the front has taken some pretty good digs to the casing.

Thanks, I may do that as well.

Every time I see your rig, or pics of it, I'm in awe of the depth, detail and professionalism of your build. Once again: Bravo!
And, how about more pics of your trailer?? That gets overlooked . . .

Thanks Futz! Which trailer, the Toad or the enclosed?

I try not to do many photo drops in other peoples threads but it is your thread so...

 

[futzin]

Just. damn.

That's awesome . . .

So not a p5?

I could only hope

 

[futzin]

Thats were I put mine up until this weekend. Never had problem. Of course I am not running any kind of performance machine though.

I regret not taking you up on your offer to drive yours.

I thought we did rather well on the Sand Cave ride . . .

Think about this . We never got stuck and had to be winched while others with more substantial machines did

I still don't know how I climbed that spot where I'd previously gotten temporarily hung up going downhill. 🤔
You were behind me; I should have watched you. Apparently you walked it . . .

I think that may be at the beginning of what they call 'Cliffhanger' . . . ?

P5s and P7s have to work for a living . . . 😁

"Earned, not given" and all that . . .

What you didn't see was before I went up it I went to put it in 4wheel lock and put in reverse by accident. Then when I stomped the gas pedal scared the crap out of the people behind me. I thought my foot was gonna go through the floor with how hard I was on the brakes just not to hit them. I couldn't help but laugh. Yelled back and said I meant to do that. Good time for sure

I think both are very underrated

Love it! 😅

They're tough and durable, but not meant to be trail machines really. Not many people mess with them when there are so many other manufacturers addressing the demand of trail riders. Pioneers are primarily utility machines, though the P1K is adapting slowly.

yea mine is a utility first then trail. At least that what I keep telling myself.

I want a 60" trail machine from Honda.

Apparently that's waaaaay too much to ask. Pretty sure it's been done by others tho . . . with much success

Decided against the cubes on rear of roof.
Got sidetracked by revamping Critter's skid mounts. Finished that today.
Piddled with layout of Packout mounts on the Honda cargo tray. I think it'll work.
Installed Honda rear bumper and Moose hitch. Had to do something to it . . .



Next up will be layout and prep for skid plates, but I've got a little more wire to run before install. I liked the plus nuts, so I'll use those here as well. Prolly will redo the 520 with them too. Too much of a hurry; didn't listen to those that said take the time to do it right. Self-tappers are temporary . . .

Getting antsy to get this this thing on the trails.

Remaining: Honda tray, Packout mounts, rear cubes, skid plate, nerf bars, tires/wheels. A few odds and ends . . .

Trying to decide between a true(ish) 28x10x14 or a short 30x10x14 (both sizes are available as a 12" 🤔). I will be at 60 or 61" wide. My heart wants the "30" (29+), but my head says 28s. If I end up not liking this tire, or the 28" size, I can put them on Critter with the SATV forward a-arms. So . . . ??
