P1000m5 HardlyWorkin Build

My older son is 1 1/2 and he loves it. He will point at the keys for it hanging by the door and grab my hand to take him for a ride. He only has probably 50 miles logged in it though. I probably only have about 200 miles on it so far.

Gotta start them young!

2 years later I only have about 700 miles on this thing due to personal and work commitments but I still love it.

I have added a snorkel and relocated vent lines, replaced both tires on the driver side due to pinching them on rocks (4 ply stock tires are terrible), and still haven't installed my speakers. Since my kids have grown a little I am hoping to get some miles on it this summer

The local Honda shop is being difficult and won't to the improvements Honda put out for the 2016 models until they do it on the ones sold at their location so I am looking for another shop to take it to. They aren't willing to do mine because I bought it elsewhere for cheaper even though I have spent copious amounts of money at their shop in the past so they have lost my business for good.

Added an Alienshade roof yesterday and I am very pleased with it as long as it isn't raining.
I am working on a mounting a new fan and doing the rear door storage mod. The next step is talking the wife into a set of better shocks!

It took almost 2 years but yesterday I passed the 1,000 mile mark. I seems like this machine gets smoother every time I drive it!

I finally got the green light to replace the tires on this machine. I have constantly have had to plug the terrible OEM 4 ply Bighorn 2.0 tires. Rocky Mountain ATV has the Tusk Aramid Terrabites on sale right now plus free shipping so I pulled the trigger on a set of 28x10x14s. Hopefully these 8 ply tires will hold up better!

Tires came today so I went ahead and put them on. I didn't get to test them much but the driving I did felt pretty nice

Ive had the terrabites for a year and a half now and they have been very good tires.

I have heard nothing but positive things about them. They definitely feel much more stable than the Bighorns

I checked the clearance with the 28x10x14 tires on stock wheels and suspension. The fronts come close to rubbing the Trail Armor skid plates but they don't touch them.

I decided the pioneer needed an emergency brake. The kids love playing in it and I needed a way to keep it from moving if they decided to play with the shifter.
The Hillbilly Brake is very well thought out and well made. I highly recommend it!
Also, gas pedal recall has been done.

I'm always nervous taking anything to dealers as well. A local car dealer has lied to my face about needed repairs on a vehicle before so I don't take any shops word for it anymore.
If they do find something wrong I just take it home and assess/repair it myself usually.

All they did was replace the gas pedal assembly. It was maybe a 10 minute job.
They put the recall out because the pivot pin can rust and fail, rendering the gas pedal useless. That's not something I want to happen while out in the middle of the woods so I went ahead and had it done. I will take all the free brand new parts from Honda that I can.
