OK, I talked to the Multi-Seal guys... Their standard products are usable and viable down to minus 30 degrees F!! I was actually surprised...
Here in South Texas, our issue is quite the opposite!! :p

Edit to add: Link where it discusses freeze protection: MULTISEAL Tire Sealant | Commercial and Idustrial Tire Sealant

They are custom builds from a friend of mine. All aluminum. Front basket and roof coated with spray in bed liner (Rhino lining, I think). The roof as you can see in the pics rear half folds forward in case I need to haul something that is tall in the bed. Also makes standing and filling feeders easier. Also the small light bars that are mounted to the under side of the rear portion of the top when folded forward expand the view at night as they point slightly outward when folded forward... This sucker lights up the world with those lights...

For the Multi-Seal, I will try to find out about the minimum temperature... I have a friend that was involved in the original testing of this product for the military WAY back when (around 1980 or so) when they were developing it. He did corrosion testing for them co they could promote that it would not corrode rims and is nonflammable like so many dire sealants were back then. If I can get an answer, I will post back. I do know that it is glycol based at least, so it likely would be quite low temp. compatible...just not sure how low.
More later.
Thanks for all the kind words on the buggy.... It actually has a few other upgrades that weren't shown in those pics... That is from when it was brand new... When I get the new tires on, I will post updated pics. Never put a lift kit on one before and I'm really liking it so far. With the 1 1/2" wheel spacers, it "seems" more stable... I think my next upgrade will be Fox Shocks front and rear... Heard good things about those... but dang!! they're pricey!! :oops::)
That front basket is Sick, would love to see more Pics

Basket details... It is mounted to the ROPS upper cage mounting bolts. the brackets are aluminum angular brackets so basket sits between them. Basket can be removed by taking 2 wing nuts off and pulling the bolts on each side. It's strong enough to stand on and climb up on top... can walk around on top as well...

I've watched no telling how many YouTube videos from this club/forum and it just seemed like the kind of place I'd enjoy...
I currently have a Pioneer 1000-5... Had a 700-4 but reluctantly sold it... Wife still givin' me grief over that one!! AND she sees it every day because I sold it to our neighbor!
Anyway, we live on a 50 acre place in East Texas and the Honda is our every day vehicle to run around in on the property. I also use it in Deep South Texas for hunting. It's quite customized already, but I've recently been driven to up my game some because the factory tires are just not cutting it in the South Texas Brush Country... That dictated a Highlifter lift, spacers, new tires (currently on order), and in my "research" on line looking for good tires, etc. I've run across all these other neat things to do to it... I've now got REAL cup holders! Today, I ordered all the giblets to install the second battery so I will have some wiring/rewiring to do soon...
Anyway, I look forward to joining in on the conversation and look forward to being able to contribute to the forum myself.
Thanks,
"Slick"

Interested in the tire sealant you mentioned, but I checked their website, and could not find at what temp the stuff stops flowing. Do you know if it flows at negative temps? Last winter plowing snow with the Honda, temps dropped below -18. If the tire sealant freezes, it would be kind of tough to drive around. haha!
I use the green Slime. According to their web site, their product has a low freezing point of -35˚F (-37˚C) and a high separation point of 182˚F (82˚C).
