P500 My First ATV

[Kingpaul003]

I decided to buy a 2015 p500 for $5600. I have always wanted to go off road but never had a vehicle suited. My grandfather has a farm with 100 acres in hill country of Tennessee. I drove for 2 hours straight pedal to the metal stepped out of my atv covered in mud and maybe cow. I LOVE THIS THING, but it is stock.

I'm capable of wiring, changing the oil, and basic maintenance. BUT I want to put a few things on before I go on mountain trails.
1 a winch, but I have no clue how make sure wiring is correct
2 a windshield of some kind to keep the mud out my face
3 a 12v outlet or usb, charging outlet.

Other than that I am so glad I bought a side by side over a quad.

Question what is the best way to find trails and videos to install stuff from above.

Welcome to the best forum on the webb.

This should help you with the winch wiring

There is already a 12v power outlet on the sxs. It's kinda hidden under the dash just to the right of the reverse lever!

Get you something like this to plug in to the 12v outlet for usb charging

pretty funny
always say biggest upgrade to any machine is tires for the riding you plan to do, yours look pretty done and stock is not going to get you very far

Welcome from GA. So much good info on this forum. Feel free to post questions, and the Search feature at the top right banner is very good to find some good pictures, videos and sometimes lenghty discussions, kinda like a SxS google. Here’s two that might help.

It has a 12v outlet . Center dash low . Save huge bucks , get a good come along not a winch . Get a windshield that folds down ! You wont want it up MOST of the time . Welcome to the P5 place .

Welcome and you are in the right place. I have not been here long and have learned a lot. I recently installed a winch after asking for help here. The info and suggestions I got make the installation real easy.
Gotta be careful though you will max out the credit card after seeing all the goodies that you can put on a P500.
