New member learning, 1000-5 Deluxe ships 3/30

[showme69]

I joined Honda Side by Side last year as I was researching and have a 1000-5 Deluxe being shipped 3/30. I've been doing a LOT of reading and ordering. My wife keeps asking, what did you order now, when another package or two arrive at the house. I ordered the OEM roof and the dealer will have that on when I pick it up. I already have a winch, light bar/cubes, bed mat, mirrors, tie down system for the trailer(still need to purchase the trailer, lol), switch panel, roll bar grab handles, slow moving vehicle sign and a few other minor items including the HondaSxS key on power harness. I plan to add a second battery and that's one thing I've been reading a lot about. I can do wiring with instructions but far from an expert. I'll be asking questions eventually and have friends who have offered to help too. From what I've seen you all have a great club and website here. Thanks for all the info I've gotten so far.

Welcome to the club, always great to see another Missouri owner on here. Here’s my build thread. It should help you along the way.

Lol. Well here's the first pics, the ones the wife keeps texting to me at work, asking what I ordered.

The orange triangle. We will be on rides that utilize gravel roads, county roads, etc. and we camp with our friends at a place called Gascony Village on the Gasconade River where they require it when driving on their roads.

I’d buy a Honda quick clamp for that, makes it easy to take off when not in use.

That's actually what I was already thinking about doing after seeing the clamps in threads on here. Thanks.

I'm currently making my way through his Trifecta build post. I still have 6 weeks before mine will be here so plenty of time to fill the brain with knowledge and empty the wallet ordering must have add ons.
