Just wanted to share a few pics. I haven't had a chance to ride yet so no action pics right now. Those will be coming soon.

This is stock suspension with 28" tires






This is how it looked when I got it home. I added the front and rear bumpers, winch, windshield, bedliner, hardtop, 28x10 & 28x11 Evolutions.

Once I got home, I added the full skid plate.



Then added the fender flares.

The tires did rub a little bit so I added Highlifters adjustable lift kit.



I set it on the 2" level and that solved the clearance problems.

Today I added the over head storage bags and a rear view mirror.

Here is the mirror. It's a $7 boat mirror with a ball mount. I ground the head of a bolt into a perfect circle and then drilled and tapped the tube over head. I threaded the bolt in and used a nut to lock it into place. It works great with no vibration.

joeymt33,
Welcome to the HondaSxS Club. I see you are enjoying your Pioneer fairly well. Those tires do look nice. I loved my old set of BlackWater xt's. Was looking at the evo's but just decided to keep my bighorns.
Anyways. Hope to see you around.
If you need anything or have a question don't be afraid to ask.
Thanks.

Very nice looking machine!!! Welcome aboard.

Welcome!! That is a good looking machine.

Thanks guys. I'm excited to have a forum to visit and gain knowledge from those more experienced. I hope to have some action photos soon and maybe another mod or two.

I'm a member of several other forums for different hobbies and I see their value. I'm sure this one will continue to grow help people see that Honda is the way to go!

Do a search for Mud-buster fender flares. The mud flaps that are hanging on the flares are something I bought locally because I thought they were needed. Mud-Busters offers flaps but I opted to add them later if needed. Later was like 24 hours....

Took the pioneer for the first ride today with my wife and three year old son. We had a blast and rode with 4 other ATV's. I really didn't get much pics and videos but some friends took video of this mud crossing.

I'll have another video or two after the other guys upload them. I had the GoPro camera on and recording but it was shakey and didn't do it justice anyway. I will say that so far I love this pioneer. Sure, I would like a little more power or low range. I would like to be able to unlock the rear diff and have power steering. But then I wouldn't like the price. So, I will say that it is an awesome combination of functionality and price. Go Honda!

Nice ride! Can't wait for my son to be old enough!

Here is a slippery hill climb that we had trouble with. All four ATV's had to be helped up like shown in the video.

Then the pioneer had a shot at it.

Great job on that hill... I have been impressed with its ability to climb. Places just like that where atv's have trouble the Pioneer walks up it.
Keep the vids coming.
Thanks.

Thanks. This is a great forum BTW. I will support our hobby as much as I can by showing off the pioneer and helping with questions when I can.

Joey.

Oh yeah, one other thing. These ITP evolution tires are awesome. They're not like a mud tire with a rough ride but they seem to be a great compromise for all terrains. These tires and the Pioneer get most of the credit over me.

I've been looking at tires but can't make up my mind. I keep looking the Evos.

They are 8 ply and seem to be real tough. I love the rim guard too. I can run 6psi in the front and 7 psi in the back and it rides great. They are also light considering the 8 ply construction. That's important to me to have a strong tire since I don't carry a spare. I still carry a plug kit and compressor though just in case.
