P500 Got the new P5 home; and already modded it...

[PNWGuy]

Went to the dealer and picked up my new P5 today. Got it home, took some pics of it stock, then started adding stuff for a trip tomorrow.

First thing I did was add the rear rack. Now this was intended to be temporary until I find time to fabricate one, but I like how it looks and the utility it adds. I ordered it off of Amazon for only $63 and it 46" by 39" and is designed as a roof rack for a small SUV. I removed the front wind deflector and mounted it sideways on my rack and it was a perfect fit...

Dealer installed a horn and the KFI winch and did a good job of mounting the rocker switches, but I will likely replace them with illuminated marked ones to match my sasquatch light switch.

Also added a small storage bag I found at WalMart using velcro straps so I have a place for stuff...

Also added a touch LED dome light. Used one in my Jeep and it worked great...

And bought a neat little doggy bed for Rowdy for the rear rack, although he does NOT enjoy riding on the P5.

ARGHHHH! It's soooo freaking red! where's the mud? Where's the dust? Blahhhhh. Blinded for life I am! Cool rear rack idea! Sasquatch switch? I want one! I'd think a dog would be more secure with some type of enclosed space. Even in the cab, mine has taken flight even at slower speeds. I'd imagine Rowdy might end up in the front seat without a way to restrain him when braking etc. Let the wallet draining begin!

Yeah, the rear bed is not enough for him. Going to try adding a solid floor to it to see if that helps.

This thing shifts super rough; it sounds like someone dropped a wrench into a metal bucket full of marbles every time it shifts. I understand it smooths out with use, however.

Sasquatch switch? I want one!

I assumed you already had one...

WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OOO OOO OOO!
That's my best text Squatch impersonation. I'm really quite proud of it. I actually don't have anything on rocker switches but that may change soon as I add more accessories.

your signature sir, under ownership.....

I have one of those for the rear lights on my P5. The dog bed is great. But I’m sure like my black lab , will end up in the front seat. It’s a bit safer on a ride for him too. Like @100Acre said...you signature. Hahahahaha nice ride you have.
