P500 Finally got it home!!!

[JWard03]

After 3 weeks of waiting, my P5 is finally home with me. Fit perfect in the back of my F250. After initially planning to "build" the perfect one over time, the dealer made me a deal I couldn't pass up on an "accessorized" Camo version. Yep, I got up-sold and it's fine. The wheels and tires are 27 x 9 x 14 in the front and 27 x 11 x 14 in the back. They gave me the original wheels and I'm not sure what to do with them. Is there a market for new 24" tires? I like the new ones. First up is a DIY bed and a light bar soon after that. Rear sway bar is coming off too.

One question though, is the little box behind the driver's seat the air intake?

Congrats great looking rig. Yes that is air box inlet I changed mine out (images in sig pics on how I did mine) and extended it high up aft of cab. The stock location, if in a dusty environment means lotsa filter cleaning. Raised up away from dust off front and rear wheels, significantly less air filter maintenance.
Happy trails,

I was in the market for a front stock wheel & tire to use as a spare, but bought a new one online. If you wern’t in a hurry, could sell it that way, or price it low and sell the whole set.

I'm actually debating selling the ones that came with it and putting 27s on the stock rims. The backspacing on the aftermarket ones makes the width 57" in the back. I'd like to be able to fit through 50" gates at some point.

Congrats, those Swamp Lites work really well on my Rubicon. I've got them on 12" wheels and they've got probably 300 miles on them. Still look new:

Congrats man! Looks like the dealer put a wheel set intended for a solid rear axle atv on there.The sra atv's take a 2+5 offset in the rear,and 5+2 on the front.Our P-5's take 5+2 or 4+3 on the front and rear.

Is that something I should be worried about?

It is like running 3inch spacers on 5+2 wheels.Can't say that it would hurt anything,but that is way out there.Wheel bearing life may suffer some.

I'm headed to the mountains this weekend so we'll see how they do. I'm leaning towards selling them and getting 27s put on the stock wheels with 1.5 inch spacers.
