So, after this last takeover, I decided I would add some mods and changes to the P5. This is my list I'm working on so far.I had thought long and hard about upgrading to a larger tire like 26 or 27's, but until the current 25' Bighorn originals are more wore down, I'm just gonna stick with them for now. Yes, more clearance would definitely welcome but other than riding at RRB, I've never had any issues with high
centering and the P5 performed nearly flawlessly over the past year as it sits. So,...
1. Spare tire and rim plus a way to mount it. Plus a better tire lug wrench.
2. I'm wanting to get some spacers to help with the Floppiness and give her a wider more stable stance. I'd like to know what recommendations everyone has for widths and manufacturers and materials.
3. Power steering- I've got some issues with Carpel tunnel and arthritis so, while predominately steering with my left hand and holding the dog with the right ends up hurting my hand and wrist for days. I already had surgery on my right hand, wrist and elbow which now works better but, all in all, it set me back financially. So is the Tusk Power Steering worth the $500 price tag?
3.a) A suicide knob...?
4. Seat belts/Harness, shoulder strap padding for me and, or some type of harness for the dog that she cannot easily walk out of.
5. Secondary Battery for running winch and accessories plus all the wiring etc...
6. New flip up windshield. Since my last one snapped at RRB, I thought I'd get the 2 piece flip up one for better air flow and visibility when the shield is dirty.
7. Front bumper because the heavy-ass hi-lift on the front ain't cutting it, nor is it functioning correctly; I cannot get it to descend. Rear Bumper for Rear Crunchies.
8. I'm still on the fence about a bigger wifi sound bar and where to mount it.. There is very little head space for me in the p5 and even less if I ever have to wear a helmet.
9. Maybe look at a different way to store gear on the rear. The big box is nice but sometimes it makes you wanna bring more crap. Plus its often difficult getting a good look at what's behind you. I'm considering a bed with lower, shorter box. Must have space to mount or store a spare tire and preferably a lower COG.
10. Under seat storage and or under hood, I have that Tupperware box that fits under the hood but I'm always concerned it may have some issues like heat etc.
11. Move my 12v plug up to the dash. I don't like the hanging socket. Damaged danglers.
12. Big air horn. I liked the ones some of the guys had at the takeover. I used to have 2 on the roof of my '82 F-100.
13. I forgot.- Lights maybe? The stock headlights suck turds through an unwashed camel hair filter
14. Shocks. Should I go all around with upgrades or is there a better method to this madness?
15. Snorkel for both intake and exhaust.
16. Purposeful Porpoise fish feeder and dispensary. Because you just never know when you'll need one, like last time they all just swam away...So long and Thanks for all the fish they said..and..What do you get for nothing? This product is not interchangeable with the Odder Otter Oyster Oscillator and will void all warranties and cause immense verbal diarrhea. Available at your local grocer. Only $19.99
