P1 Review...
So for background I have a P700-4, started this post due to lack of power in a few scenarios (see signature for setup). Borrowed a buddies P1000-5 Deluxe, Front hard cab and doors (heavy) and soft around back, lift kit (not sure height), heater, 30" Silverbacks! Loaded up with weekends worth of hunting gear and 75lbs son. Put 140 miles of steep hills and deep mud through some of the nastiest terrain Alaska has to offer. First thing that surprised me was the tires would not spin on this one trip more times than has ever happened with my 700. I know its not meant for 30" Silverbacks, that being said I could go through anything and the times the tires bound up (yes even in low and not in diff lock and in reverse) I could always get it to go and get out with a little back and forth. That thing is a beast. Not a fan of the heavy cab, yes it kept me warm and dry in some very inclement weather, but the added weight and constant fogging when driving through water (constantly) is not worth it to me. In the end I am considering getting the P1000 someday. Would need shock upgrade as my 700 with fox is much better. For those wondering the Silverbacks were beasts but did rub on several occasions (Full hard turn slow, and hard bumps in front) so I would go with just a bit smaller size with the lift setup he had. On the other hand my 700 set up the way mine is, is a pretty impressive machine and am very happy with it for the most part, especially when you consider the cost difference....Whhooo... I'm out of breath after that.
