P1000 My 1000-5 After one year

[Adam490]

Yeah I’m excited to try the performance tunes. All steering wheel stuff is in except for the one I bought just to steal the boot from. That part should be in tomorrow. The wheel itself I was very surprised in that it looks really good in person. Was worried it would feel cheap but it doesn’t at all. The quick connect setup also is a really nice piece. If I ever make it home tonight from work I will snap some pics. But it will be at least tomorrow night before I can try to install.

Awesome, good to hear! Hopefully you get a chance to get all your new toys installed

Looks like it may be too high with the quick coupler but not sure. I know I can take some meat off the rear of first adapter but don’t know if that will be enough or not until I get stock stuff off. Sorry my shop is a mess, kinda have too many things going on right now.

Added felt dot to front doors where rubber stop isn’t quite long enough. Rear doors added a rubber cap over the stop to give it more reach. All doors shut tight now. Moved overhead organizer to front above windshield. The bottom of it is flush with top brace of windshield so not in way at all. That made room for front tower speakers. Rear tower speakers will go on rear upright where the nets attached. Will grind tab off and mount there. Got new skid plate in but have to run my wires for radio and subs first. Waiting on some wire and RCA cables to come for that.

It’s not the best for sure but I’m a mudder, not a rock crawler so should be just fine. Was sketchy of site but called them and they took PayPal over the phone and had it in three days. Very nice for what it is and cost

Should be fine for your intended use, especially at that price. I am still rocking the $550 eBay special, and it's seen some serious s*** 😂. My crossmembers all still look like the day I put it on so it seems to be doing the job.

Thats pretty hard to believe. @Plumber32 and I must just hit the bottom harder.

It's called skill, duh

I'll take a picture tomorrow. I was incredibly surprised. Adding crossmember to protect the shifter and reinforcing the OG members before I throw the skids back on. I think they might even still be straight if I hadn't taken it over a bunch of rocks on Trail 2 at TO with the 2mm plastic thong skid Honda supplies with the machine stock. I ordered the skid on the way home from TO.

Didn't forget you haters

@aauman88 sorry for the hijack!

I just read through your thread for the first time. When you put the portals on, you said you didn't like the height and would be taking it out for one ride to check it out, then planned to remove the bracket lift.

It looks like you kept it in? Did you get to like the height? I'd guess it'll probably be necessary for the 34's as well...

 

[aauman88]

I thought my wife would fuss about having to climb in it but she didn’t so decided to keep it. And yes it is necessary for the 34.5” tires

 

[aauman88]

Texas Tough Customs 3” lift, HD tie rods and front link bars ordered all powdered Honda red. Will replace my HL arms and HL bracket lift as well as the SATV HD tie rods. Upgrading wheels and tires as well. Not sure if I will go 35 or 37’s. This is what I will be getting if you haven’t seen it before.

Nice. I don't have portals but if I did I would probably get 37s😂

Rear doors added a rubber cap over the stop to give it more reach.

Do you have any specs for these rubber caps? Are they staying on nice and snug? Mine are backed out as far as I'm comfortable with and could still use a litte more.

It was pack of 4 bought at WM. Put some gorilla glue in it before sticking on adjustable stop so it’s not coming off but can still unscrew stop to remove. Door rattles were non-existent at our last ride.

I’m definitely leaning 37’s. That’s what’s really nice about this lift is it has rear offset for larger tires without having to lift it more.

 

[aauman88]

Well found great deal on rims and tires so I ordered. 38’s coming in 😎. Lift builder says with lift, portals and Fox shocks I can make them fit. Just got my 93 tune as well to help turn them.

Finally got around to installing steering wheel. Also new rear seat cup holder that clears the seats when folding up and down. Steering wheel was a pain but turned out well. Wasn’t able to do the quick release and keep wheel close enough to use paddles. May look for a way to later but glad I got the wheel on finally. Feels so much better than stock.
