If you think about it those tires are only 10% bigger than OEM diameter, it's the visuals you have to overcome. The P1K has more than 2X the HP of a P700 and twice the gears. Put it in Low range and 4WD lock and it will be just fine. Better yet do manual to stay in 1st for the super technical, the limitation will be the drivers comfort zone.Man I love it!!!! I am so doing this. I was considering the 28" variety but the 30's are just awesome!!!
My only worry now is how does it do in low creeping over boulders

Guess I will find out how good the front axles and differential are [/Q
Looks good if you look fast at pics new rims look close to factory but closer look they are very nice. Do you think your tires would work on factory wheels with the lift you got?Tires and wheels arrived, OMG bigger than I expected she's gonna be tight, but it'll work out

Oh they are pretty narrow.They could but I think the 10" wide tire on a 6" wide front rim may look odd, but mechanically yes it should work.
Front tire clearance, only issue is Trail Armor skid plate goes into and turns up 2" inside the wheel well. Rubs starting at 1/2 turn and bad at full lock. Will be trimming the skid plates and will have room no problem with factory plastic or clearance with the lift kit. Rear wheels clear no problem
Tires are all at 14 PSI
Angle side view, from above, and full lock. In that order:

UPDATE ON 30" TIRE CLEARANCE WITH LIFT.
I got around to trimming the Trail Armor UHMW skid plate that protruded approx. 2" into the front OEM wheel wells and were rubbing at even half turn and that almost cured all rubbing entirely. I still get a slight running at full lock left turn only on the drivers side where the sharp OEM plastic comes to a point. I am confident I can push that in an inch or so and gain full clearance with a good heat gun. this is with tires that are an actual 30.4" in diameter & a 6+1 offset wheel
As it is I could only recommend a 29" tire max on 6+1 or 5+2 offset wheels with the Strong Made lift kit without any modifications to your OEM plastic. I believe if you are going to run a 4+3 offset a 30 tire would clear fine but then you will be 68" wide at front with a 10" wide tire.
Hope this help people in making a good choice of tire / wheel combo selection if they use this lift kit..
28s should fit no problem. I have seen several P1ks with 28s no lift and had more than enough room to clear them.Ummmm, I appreciate the update very much. I guess 28-29" tires are in my future. Given I want the roctanes it would have to be 28's.
Do you think the 28" roctanes will fit with no lift?
Thanks!Its all in one stereo mesh holders for phone ipod etc and a dome light. Made by MTX. called the MUDSYS46 very happy with it.
Thanks!
One more question, can you send a photo from under the hood showing the double battery setup you mention in your garage? I think thats a good idea, especially with several electrical accessories, winch, etc. I'd like to have a look at the layout for reference, if i may.
That's a sweet ride, evolving into a one hellava Honda. I have to say, I really like the big hoops and lift!! Aarrrrr..
Yes especially with 5+2 offset wheels.Ummmm, I appreciate the update very much. I guess 28-29" tires are in my future. Given I want the roctanes it would have to be 28's.

Good question Ned. I am at the same stage in my wiring and had the same observation. I figured it was so that the switches would illuminate at night for visibility and not illuminate in the day so as not to waster power.Jackal, I have noted that you and other experience Honda Pioneer guys here, when wiring lighted switches, power the switch lights with light-on power and the switch itself with key-on power. I understand that switch light is really only needed at night and when the switch is in the ON position switch lights up, but I was thinking about powering my switch lighting with key-on power and having the switches lit up any time my key is turned on. Seems like all the old pro's do it your way. Is it personal preference or am I thinking weird? Maybe an unimportant question, but I'm about to start building my jumpers.
Since the switches show white during the daytime there is no need to light them unless you just want to and that's fine really a matter of personal preference. I guess long term thinking is led life in switch and lights up consistent with all other dash light items when lights come on. Really no big deal either way you choose to do it.Jackal, I have noted that you and other experience Honda Pioneer guys here, when wiring lighted switches, power the switch lights with light-on power and the switch itself with key-on power.
