P1000 Limited Dash Differences

[cbsander]

Hey everyone, good evening. I currently have a 2006 Brute Force that I had initially bought new for mud riding and have been using it for hunting the last six years. It's not giving me any issues but I'm ready for the benefits of a SxS.

While waiting for a 1000-5 LE to arrive at the dealership, I've been doing some research on accessories. I want to use the SwitchPros SP9100 on the dash in lieu of rockers and relays for lights.

But the dash is obviously different between the LE and Deluxe/Std. The blank panel seems like it would be too far away in the LE for controlling my lights with the SP9100. But it seems like the light switch area on the dash to the left of the steering wheel is available.

Does anyone with an LE have pics of what you have mounted there? Seems like that would be a more convenient location. And I'm assuming it is reachable behind dash to mount electronics there as I've seen others with rocker switches mounted.

Thanks!

There is no problem reaching to the right, it’s not that far.

Reaching to the right isn’t an issue, the lack of diff lock selection is for some people though.

I don't plan on hard-core mudding or rock crawling. I'll be doing a fair amount of riding around the neighborhood and then trailering it to Mississippi for hunting and scouting.

From the videos I've seen, I believe it should work just as well for that and then I don't have to think about it. But thanks for noting that. 👍

You’re welcome, I was just having fun. The i4wd system is pretty good and should serve you well.

That's how I took it.

Though I've learned something with this F150 that has an open rear axle and electric locker. While it may be great to completely lock up the rear end going through mud or technical trail riding, I think I'd prefer to have a limited slip which would be better for me the majority of the time. I find myself leaving it in 4A when it rains b/c if you have to make a quick move from a stop, it'll just sit there and spin one wheel away.

Not a complete apples to apples comparison, as I find it nice to pull the lock lever on my Brute periodically and have that capability. But if it leads me to using my winch periodically, at least I'll be getting some use out of that thing! 😆

I4wd goes everywhere lockers do, less the feed back on the front end.
I ride with lockers and yes, even a kawi...

I4wd is inferior in the mud.

My Ram 2500 has a limited slip, it works well for me.

Here two pics of my LE. Plenty of space on left side of the steering. Hollow and if you remove the cup holder easy to access. You will need a plastic rod/clothes hanger to fish the cables through. But a piece a cake nontheless. Hope that helps!!

Hardly

No comparison. I’m not depending on brakes to make my wheels grab traction.
