  1. 1000-5
Hew folks, ACfixer (Lance) here, just bought a 2021 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe in Honda red. I'm a California ex-pat now living in Jonesborough, Tennessee and I am ready to do some hunting a trail exploring in my new toy.

I mulled over side by sides for close to three years and finally decided on the Pioneer, hope made a good choice. Red wasn't my first choice but it's hard to be picky right now and I wanted to make the purchase. It was between red and white and eh.... Hondas are red right? It was a tough choice over the Polaris Ranger, in the end it was the ability to carry 4+ with a dump bed and a real transmission vs. the CVT. Again, I hope I made a good choice here.

Okay, enough of that... Other than the obvious stuff. I am a 58 year old Harley rider, a guitar hack, and a private pilot so that pretty much cover the stuff I like to do. Add to it a healthy love for the outdoors including fishing and hunting. I love my firearms collection, especially vintage stuff from the 40's-60's (my dad's era) and I love the vintage camping and fishing. AC in ACfixer stand for air conditioning, not aircraft although I do enjoy wrenching on the plane with a certified A/P watching over me.

That about covers it, let's talk about what I NEED for this thing!

1. Winch
2. Street legal stuff (signals, horn, mirrors)
3. You tell me!

Great to be here,
Lance

PS: I just want to make sure this is THE forum to be involved with. I am not a cheapskate and if it is I will become a contributor in a matter of days. Thanks!

Winch and a real skid plate is a must. Especially in Tennessee.

Some type of rear view mirror. I just have the one inside the cab. I wanted the ones on the sides but they would've be junked out multiple times by now. Your first night ride you will see that u want some type of light bar, backup lights and dome lights.

Welcome from Mississippi. I am new here too, but it seams to be a well known fact on here that the red ones are the fastest even if you wanted to change plastic at a later time you would still have one of the fast ones!

Welcome from SE Ky. Yes this is THE forum. The end all be all of info for Honda sxs checkout the club store some great plug and play items in there. If you plan on adding winch lights and radio start your mods with a dual battery setup.
