Didn’t realize how messed up both rock sliders are but they did do their job

Absolutely love that new front bumper! Makes the factory brush guard on the Pioneer look incredibly weak. I pushed over more trees then a bear has hair as well as bumping into other Sxs’s for last three weekends and it’s about the only thing that has zero damage. Did awesome at protecting what it was supposed to. When stuck we broke winch cable left and right, finally had to chain to it and get a start to jerk it out with Pioneer. Nothing. Didn’t move! That’s a beast and great powder coat.

Lol. Rereading that I guess I was a little surprised at exactly how well it would work. I’d hoped it would so gotta give credit where it’s due! It’s a tank, yes Idaho approved!

Your next Christmas present
Even better present, come over and wash the Pioneer🤣
boy buddy that was bad though. Had about 5hrs in Talon and it’s still not fully clean. Trying to keep it nice. Maybe an hour on Wolvie and it’s good enough.
Some was Sammy fault, she was hitting the deep mud crap under full power. She really likes the new one.

I’m off and on about the idea. I know I could sell the Wolverine for enough to get another one built. Wife hasn’t warmed up to it yet but would be happy rolling around in it herself. Awesome to have a full Honda group.
My only issue is selling Wolvie, it’s an awesome rig that goes anywhere for anyone and very cheap to repair with no maintenance. Talon is pretty particular and sketchy just to toss key to anyone, it’s like a Gremlin and comes with instructions. Hard to sell that little gem.

Got another set of new Talon Takeoffs today. 75$ ain’t a bad deal lol. So now have two back spares, a front then this whole set and they’ll now fit Pioneer as well. Starting to look like at least a small percentage like @Plumber32. Except im a cheapskate
It has been really nice so far this year to have no flats slow leaks or 30 sidewall plugs in any of the three machines. Pioneer is holding up well so far.

Call rb3 and get the wheel adapters for the wolverine and all 3 can run the same tires and wheels! That's what I did anyway. One 28" spare fits them all.
