Its my ol Honda CR500. She's my fun girlfriend on the side, like to go out and stretch my elbows when I get a chance.
I built a carrier for it on back of my pioneer! Their buddies now.

Like the crew cab Dodge, and is that a classic Weekend Warrior toy hauler?
Shows good taste in accessories for the P1k.
Welcome from Ohio.
Oh yea, your roof is really cool.

Thanks so much its a 1965 power wagon, and yeah its a 2004 weekend warrior. good eye! Thanks for sharing your input on my roof, I may have a problem,I have built everything on it and keep looking for more. Doing a rear bed extender next, out of 1" x 1" aluminum square tube. So far, all my accessories I have built myself. 3" lift (copied high lifters pictures on their website with my CNC plasma), tailgate brackets so it sits flat when open, half and full windshield, and obviously the top.
Really wanting to make a lift with an extra hole in the bracket system that has a "trailer" setting so it is actually lowered rather than lifted. Right now i have to do some tricks to make it fit in my toyhauler. Also, a few will hate me for this, I think I'll make a new roll-cage.... Its just so big and bulky, I'm 6'3" and have oodles of room. Chromoly pipe and a few tabs for the seatbelts.

No one will hate you for making a new cage. A few guys here have made their own. Heck lots of guys want to do it, but finding the bungs is the problem.

Nope go for it. I am 6'2" and after driving @joeymt33 machine I don't think I am going to try it my head still hurts from bouncing off the roof and the sound bar and the roof. It seemed to be SLIGHTly less tippy even with the heavy wet sounds bar he has, which I like the idea of, but I don't like hitting my head on the roof. He's an inch or two shorter and its fine for him though.
anybody under 5'10" could take enough off the roof that it'd be more stable, but the height is there to prevent a roll down a hill so its also a tradeoff, the factory cage seems like it is not strong enough to take a multi-roll crash so if I were going to chop it Id replace the whole thing with something stronger, and a more rigid structural design not just chop the uprights.

Welcome to the forum, lots of good information and people here. Be sure to check out our how to sections for each model regarding maintenance and mods. It can answer in detail many questions people have regarding their machines.
Yeah it sounds like no one has really fed much of anything to them, a few here and there but.. I'm gonna take it to T&N performance one day and ol Tony will hook a guy up. I don't know what he would recommend as far as flashing but I am sure he'd open up some ports and make it suck up some more air and give it a bigger opening to get rid of it. I really want the power commander V and auto tune to add to all that. I have a hard time taking in my new rig in 100% working order, to be torn into but in no life of mine will I be getting beat by a Ranger 1000 in a drag race. I have a strong feeling some body is gonna come up with a Bigger and Better cam system, i hear the African twin is the same thing with a much more aggressive cam. . Come on all you old wizards, I know Honda makes it, lets Tune it in!
