P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[CumminsPusher]

When I mentioned to the wife I think I'd like to get a sxs her first question was " you gonna take it up in the mountain?" And I'm like heck yeah, what else would I do with it? Lol. The mirror would've p#ssed me off too lol. One reason I just went with the rearview. Mine gets pressure washed after every ride and that's it. It always has a dirty film on it but I figure it's crazy to wipe it down good only to get it all trashed up again. I've seen a few of those armorall'd rzrs myself lol. Reminds me of those guys at RRB in rzrs that warned us to stay clear of this one mudhole at group ride. That thing was loads of fun. Had a tree laying across the top of it. You had to catch it with the front of the roof and push it out of the way lol. I don't see how they make it hardly anywhere with that pitiful ground clearance. To each his own I guess lol.

I probably only want my me every third ride or so now because since I added the new truck it usually sits during the week loaded ready for camping it makes me feel bad but we've been doing that for years with the dirtbikes they are all loaded up in our motorhome when not ridden but they normally don't get quite as muddy. I do need to do better but I saw it on the bikes I actually had more problems with brakes socks and bearings the more I cleaned them. I need an auto wash I can drive it all through the pic is it ready to go back up :-( As far as the little 570's all bs aside they were fun to play with. This mammoth of a vehicle scooting around them and they seemed very slow in the trees and mud but whatever maybe we're tougher! It was cute to watch though. I won't go any bigger on the 1000 it's the same width as my 700 and it's a little tough but it goes. Aren't these things fun! God I love this sport!!!!

That looks fairly high quality. You say it's not much louder?

It's a thick hose. I stood on it before installing lol. Intake noise isn't much louder. Just a little at wot.

 

[amc019]

The hose doesn't collapse even where it is kind of crimped already?

No not at all.

 

[Delton]

No not at all.

It's wire reinforced and holds its shape even when I stood on it

 

[amc019]

No not at all.

Interesting. I may just have to do this.

 

[Delton]

It'll p*SS you off when you open the box and see what's inside. My first thought was for 200 bucks this is it? Lol. You get alot more stuff with the 170.00 kits but if you think about it...its just 15 bucks worth of pvc lmao.

 

[Delton]

My favorite part about it is it's kinda anonymous. It doesn't draw attention to the fact you've got a snorkel. I like that.

Very nice!

Actually got to squeeze in a shirt ride this morning. I think all 4 rims now have rock rash lol. Rig kept sliding off of Big rocks and slamming into smaller ones. Not familiar with this trail so it was really fun. Alot of deep mud holes and tricky rock sections.

Found a new trail but it ended before it got started lol. Next time I'm bringing my saw with me lol

 

[CumminsPusher]

Yes I'm going to build a saw mount for this situation. We always bring it but get bashed around a lot! Beautiful area

 

[Delton]

@joeymt33 I found a new trail for us to tackle. Instead of turning left at bottom of hill coming from community center, keep going straight. I took some pics of a killer looking hill. There's deep mud holes with boulders in them bout every 50 yards or so. Definitely not boring lol. We need to try it out soon as you get some free time.

Black marks on rocks is always a good sign of fun ahead lol

Oh yeah, I've put in at the bottom of that hill and rode in. Also, that tree you have pictured, we had to winch around it one day.



That's the pic of winching up the hill just in front of it.

You've been on trail I showed in pics? The trail with downed tree cuts off from new trail I mentioned. We just gonna have to run all of them. Just to be sure lol.

Yeah no doubt. It'd save alot of guys overpaying lol. I do feel I overpaid but just got tired of looking for that hose. It only hurt for a few seconds lol.

Yep, in that pic you can see the top of the tree on the right. We went down the hill and winched up where you turned around. We came in from the back side. That's why I brought a chainsaw on our last ride.

I hope we can get back out there soon. I'm down in southern Louisiana now and then to Mississippi and then to south GA. I hope to be home by next weekend. We should be able to hook up and ride after that.

Did you go up that steep hill with all the rocks? From where you said you had to winch, you'd come back out to main trail and turn left. Also before you get to that hill there's a turnoff to the right that has an insanely steep hill. It's mostly red clay. No way I'd attempt it alone but I'd try it with somebody with me.
