@Smitty335 do you have an Airedale? You might have to bring it for the ride. We have a 1 year old female who is my trail buddy and one of the best dogs I've ever had.

I am going to extend the vent lines before e go and may try to relocate the intake like @Tigermark did on his machine. I be with all the rain we are suppose to get between now and then water will be high.
Probably not it hasn't rained much and the ground will soak most of it up. and leave the rest for us to splash around in

They are more impressive that I thought they would be.. I am ready to see them in action.
Yea might bring the troops Merlin - General ( Jack Russel ), Murphy - Bugler & moral support ( Chahaha terrier mix) & Willow heavy artillery ( Airedale) , well probably not on second thought, after the crash I need to come up with a crash proof way to haul the pups. The wife wouldn't let me. I usually take Merlin with me every where, if he would have been with me, I don't think he would be with us today.

Boy this thing is sad over there in the corner... need some time and nice weather to go play.

P.s. Taking a break from social media for 2 weeks so my cell will be the only way to get me. Several guys on here have it. If you need me get it from one of them.

Got a few hours before my social media "fast" starts so enjoying it while I can.

Is that a self inflicted "fast"??? Weather has been nasty though we still got a ride in Saturday and Sunday. How about the lighted whips, did you get the new set?

Yes it is. Our church is doing a 14 day fast and my wife and I both picked social media to fast. How was your ride? Did you take the new machine? No whips for another few days. Maybe late this week... I will text @Tigermark when they come in and get put on so he can share for me.

Participating in social media vicariously!! No, I didn't take the new machine, though it was at the cabin with me on the trailer. Hope you don't Jones it too much on your fast. :)

Trail Armor, I installed everything but the back arm guards - will install those this weekend. I went back and forth on which kind to order and went with those based on some reviews and not wanting metal.
I just recently purchased a P1K-5 and had the high lifter snorkel installed at the dealer. While I was there I mentioned that I was going to install the trail armor skid plate and he told me this would void my warranty on my frame due to tapping holes in the frame. Have you or anyone else ever heard of this? I thought that was a little crazy with as many of those are installed on these machines.

He's full of crap, I bought my Trail Armor kit at the dealership and they said nothing about this. They want you to buy it from them.

That is what I was thinking as well. I can't see how a few tapped screws could compromise the frames integrity

Great to hear. I like the idea of the 1/2 inch plates without the noise of the aluminum. Thanks for quick feedback
Install is easy if you have a hoist or back hoe, just tilt it up on it side and install, well not completely. Don,t tighten anything down until you have it all set into place, use a rubber mallet to adjust and snug all fasteners, good to go. And don't strip out the fasteners.

I have not gotten to try mine out yet but tomorrow I am taking my son up to Rush Springs and then next weekend - I am sure then will get a chance to be put to use.

Smitty355 - I had to elevate the front wheels and slid under and installed. Did not take too long and it was easier for me to drill a small hole first for the new screws. Do wish I had a way to tilt up.

I did the same thing with pilot holes at first and after getting tired of changing bits, just used the self tapping screws with no pilot holes, a lot faster.

Did you slither along over the rocks and logs? HA!
