P500 Idaho Desert build

[Stacy]

Probably should of waited until tomorrow to post the first of my build threads, but most of the powder coated pieces I built were done tonight and Im super happy with my bumper mod, should of waited till good light to take a decent photo but this kind of gives you the idea. And is a little different. Hope I got this posted in the right section.

I was probably a little O.C.D on this build but I had in my head what I wanted and went with it. I wanted to protect the outside of the machine. I just set it in place for the photo and will bolt her on tomorrow when I get home from work. I also have brackets to run stainless steel cable from the corners of the brush guard to the roof brackets out of all stainless these will be the limb / brush deflectors. I haven't gone to fast with this build because I've been putting in a ton of overtime but that has let me be a little more methodical on the build and in the end that will keep her a little more custom.

I'm really liking that blue, great job on the bumper!

27x12x12 They measure a true 28 tall. LOVE THEM!!!!!!! I have two friends, rode theirs and got input on here, almost went 9 wide but ABSOLUTELY love the 12 wide and how it rides.

Oh, they are 12" all they way around. That's why, it looks real good.

I've been seriously thinking about adding a P500 as a side kick to the P1000. Maybe, just maybe.

To do the trails here I had too... I have a 4runner modded as a family side by side lol.. I do photo's for a few outdoor magazines so this will get back to the critters around here.

I can't wait for you to update us with more pics.

Again, great job.

Awesome job on the bumper !!!

What I great job you have done. It's nice to see a local guy on here. I'm from Richfield so I will definitely have to keep on eye on your build. I would assume your first pic is just a tease of what's left to come. Where did you get your powdercoating done? Here in Twin?

Got a pic to load, today. Awesome job on that brush guard. I also went wide on my front tires. Running 27"x 11"s all around. Not sure why more people don't try it. I have had no issues with rubbing or steering.

Looking at it, again, (I'm also somewhat OCD) I have to say that brush guard is something else. I also love the way you recessed the LED lights into the bumper. Very clean lines. My hat's off to you!

Love them, I agree I'm surprised more don't run them but I think a lot of them don't want to do any type of frame mod.

Thanks I have a couple of items that I would like coated but didn't know anyone that has had anything done. I will have to give them a try. Enjoy the Rig.
