P1000 Mud Riding Build 32in tires 34in tires

[Bradley-Thornton]

My thoughts on the IGR.

Specs
With my 32s it would only run 46mph

Info
It had all the gear I wanted before but you can feel the difference.
One thing you will need to know is after it want shift right at first it will stay in a gear if you give it to much gas and hit the rev.
You will need to give it gas then let off to shift till the computer relearns. To me it seemed to learn faster when I used Manual mode.

I didn't really do it for the gear I did it to save the clutches.

Update (the IGR is a little loud it doesn't bother me but it does my wife)

Any other questions just ask?

Took the SXS out for the first time. lets just say WOW its a beast. I have a 420 IRS on 31 outlaws and would have trouble in a hole and the pioneer would make it in turf mode. I only needed 2wd a few times and 4wd twice the pioneer is just a different level. Never got stuck got on a stump once but could still back out.

If you look close at the pics you can see I had it waist to chest high in mud a few times. The wife just got the tires in the mud but I needed to know what it could do so I tried it out.

You can see the mud lines on these.

Snorkeled my exhaust have it clamped on but will end up welding it just what to make sure I like it and am happy with it. Or I may just use exhaust tape. Worked great first trip out. I needed to make it come a little more over so I could lift the back all the way up but its close enough for me. The last pic you will see the exhaust hanger I cut the material and used it between the exhaust and cage rail. Local exhaust guy bent the pipe for me same one that did the 420s. May build a Stainless tip and snorkel down the road I think that would look sick. Also keep in mind the pipe is a little bigger that the tip so I shouldn't have any restriction.

Next project is 2nd battery, dash cluster.

 

[elkguide]

Look at you guys playin' in the mud and in the river!

It's snowing hard here with a 25mph wind making it feel like 10*!!!!!

 

[Bradley-Thornton]

Started on the dash and the second battery but didn't get that far been busy. Took kids to Disney and trying to get pool ready for summer.

But I did get started.

Everyone on this site seems to like the Ram looked a little bulky to me so I went with the ProClip. Hope to get it all wired up next time in.

I was asked what the Top speed was on 32s. 47mph No Gear reduction

Help me out here ....... with a top speed of 47 it 'appears' to me the taller tires equaled lower gearing ..... is that correct? Meaning, you would have more 'low end' and less 'top end' ...... like putting a smaller sprocket on front of motorcycle or a bigger sprocket on the rear. Is that correct, or do I have it backwards?

If true, it would please me since I have yet to go above 50mph and would love more torque down low for slower hill climbing.

You are backwards. But being I have bigger tires the speedo is off so I'm going a little faster that 47mph. You will need a gear reduction to do what you are wanting.

That is what I was afraid of. But I thought even though the speedo was off (slow), your top speed would still REALLY be the same??? So taller tires will equal LESS low end and more strain on clutch/transmission?

Yes less low end more strain on clutch and Transmission. Most say 30s are as big as you want to go without a gear reduction.

 

[BigOL3]

Yes less low end more strain on clutch and Transmission. Most say 30s are as big as you want to go without a gear reduction.

Have you tried the 30s? Is there a NOTICEABLE loss of low end? Does the additional ground clearance seem to make it want to 'tip' easier due to higher center of gravity?

 

[Bradley-Thornton]

Never did 30s went 32s as soon as I got the machine. Higher center will tip faster but its not bad with 32s to me.

Just ONE more question ..... lol. Before you installed the gear reduction, did you notice much loss of low end torque with the 32s?

I believe this one is in my build but I was happy with my low end before I did the reduction. I did the reduction to help with strain on clutches and transmission.

Picked this up the other day from a guy on FB don't plan on changing from white right now but for the price I had to have it and I think its a super cool color thought why not. Yes, I did get all the pieces just took a pick of this one.

 

[Bradley-Thornton]

I updated post 41.

I added a IGR 35% to the 420 with the 31s it needed it.

Added the Alien sunshade. The hard top held heat and made the dust come in real bad the top works great.
Update on top this thing is sweet worth the money.

Been working on getting the 1000 to fit in the camper may end up having to take the 2.5 HL lift off and just have the 3in thats but into the A-arms. Its hitting my beds.

In this pic you can also see the the snorkel
Snorkel Kit , Warrior Riser , Best Kits Online

You can also see the front blinkers. For my Street legal kit.
honda-pioneer
This kit was super nice, few things to note it direct plugs into you back tail lights so don't order the red lights. Also with this kit I ordered this horn. It lights up blue you have to run a separate wire for the light part of the horn if not it want work correctly. You could do the blinkers also I didn't because when you put the blinker on it clicks so you want forget.

Also added tailgate levelers for the forum they are the bracket style get that style not the cables Honda cables great and the other cables didn't last long on my friends. He has the extender for the tailgate and with the bracket style had to do a little modifying to make it work.

That all I have till I get some better pics.

@Bradley-Thornton Be aware I bought these Seizmik mirrors last August. This last weekend, one of them just fell off. The molded plastic knuckle joint at the base was completely deteriorated. Further inspection showed the other one would also be falling off very shortly. I called Seizmik yesterday. Great customer service. They are aware of the problem and have changed their manufacturing process. So depending on when your's were manufactured, you may or may not have a problem. Probably worth looking at closely for awhile. Seizmik is sending me new knuckle joints. I love the mirrors.

Same with me mine came apart but they send me new ones no questions asked. I love the mirrors and the costumer services was great.

Few pics from the ride last weekend great times. The new top really shined it was a dusty day and hot. I didn't even feel the heat coming from the SXS like I normally do or the dust coming around bothering me. Truth is I didn't think about it till I went to type this so the top must have done its job. We did have to pull the pioneer out of that hole but thats only the second time Ive had to pull it out of a hole. I did get in some stupid deep water in the pioneer if you look at the pic of my buddy standing beside the tailgate. I had water go over the tailgate with it up only for a few second in one spot but still that was crazy. My buddy was driving showing it off to another guy and I seen it happen I was right behind the pioneer in the rancher.

Side note I think I'm going to pull the 2.5 High lift off and just keep the 3in that is built into the A-arms. Just don't feel that I need it. It has a higher center of gravity now and puts the axles in more of a bind just don't think its worth it. The holes I'm getting stuck in are so extreme it just wouldn't have mattered. May pull them off and see how it does if it gets stuck a ton more in the littler holes I'll put it back on.
