We got a little over a foot of snow, so I load the P1000 up to go check out the roads. Rather steep where I live.
Man this thing has wheel hop something terrible! It goes well, but any amount of spinning, induces wheel hop.
Alot has to do with tires I've found a less aggressive tire doesn't seem to hop as much.We got a little over a foot of snow, so I load the P1000 up to go check out the roads. Rather steep where I live.

You guys must not keep the MO up to maximum speed, no wheel hop here! HA!I think that the wheel hop is the result of driveline windup. Any torsion seen in the driveline as it gets loaded gets released upon movement and starts to cycle. The more traction you have the more likely it is to occur. Stronger driveshafts and halfshafts can reduce or eliminate most of the wheel hop. Also if there are any rubber snubbers used in the driveline to reduce shock loading in the gears that helps propagate wheel hop also.
Really didn't understand all the wheel hop talk, All I have ever experienced is passenger hop. HA!!!!!I think that the wheel hop is the result of driveline windup.

This is correct, but it's "Step 2", so to speak.It is all stock. I did have about 200lbs in the bed. Wheel hop generally is a suspension design issue. In my offroad racing days and with my Rock Crawler, it has to do with antisquat and the suspension design. My rock Crawler can surf full power on and rockface with 42 inch tires and no hop.
