P1000m5 Dragon21's build

Dragon21 submitted a new Garage Item:

Here We Go Again... 1000-5 This Time

Well, now that the 700-4 is gone and the 1000-5 is home. its time to get started on the build again. I really try to go slow and pace myself. however that doesnt always work that way. When i got it, it had roof and windshield as part of the deal.

Ordered a winch and mount, synthetic rope and fairlead for it, HL snorkel, Amazon switch plate, fuse box, 100amp disconnect.

still plan to get a honda front bumper, lightbars, and soundbar.. when money permits.

debating about dual battery setup... not sure if ill do that or not. I dont tend to use radio or lights when its not running.

Ready to get these on this weekend and see how they ride.

Finally got the wheels back on the ground. Thinking I need to adjust the toe in a little. Looks like it’s pointing out. Shocks were set with about 7/8” thread showing. Gonna start with that and ride it to see if it needs adjusting.

Current setup as I wait for solenoid and a few more additions. Need some wrap for the wires to clean it up still. Much happier with this wiring so far compared to my 700

Does that intake pipe end there by the dash?

 

[BigOL3]

Got a little work done. First picture I added the switch to control key on or battery power for the accessories (mounted on the right). Then I did the lighted cup holders. Then did a 7" fan. Still waiting on the fan switchView attachment 46660View attachment 46664

Will that type fan be reversible to be use to blow heat into cab in the winter?

yes. its a radiator hose. worked pretty good.

it can be setup to push or pull air, but i no longer have it. Was running when i got a little deep one time and it died.

Did the heat under the dash have any adverse effect on the intact. I have NO plans on extending the intact thru the hood, but kinda like the hose ending in dash and removing the OEM air box from under the hood.

No issues under the dash.

Started on the alignment last night. Gonna need to do it again with less alcohol involved and more patience. I know the tie rods are supposed to be adjusted the same, but with the steering wheel straight one tire is toed out more than the other.

In order:
1) center the steering rack (at the rack not the steering wheel).
2) set the toe, there are 3 parameters to play with : tires straight, tie rods set about equal and rack centerd.
3) recenter the steering wheel - the center cover pops off and there is a big nut holding the wheel on. The wheel is on a splined shaft, pull it off and put it back on as straight as possible.
4) now crack open that first beer.

Why did you post them out of order numerically @lee?

Wrenching is different than riding.

Riding you drink and suddenly that hill or rock or mud hole doesn't look so big.
Then, mysteriously, something breaks. (I'm sure it was some how Hondas fault)

Now you need to wrench.
You don't want wrenching to look small or easy - if it where easy there would be no accomplishment to Bragg about later.
With out something to Bragg about the whole premise of the HondaSxS.com club would cease to exist.

Without beer many of us would cease to exist
