P500 One P5's Take On The Takeover

[GRANITE]

Nope, black GMC with enclosed trailer.

ok, gotcha. yea I remember that. Sharp rig. I wish I had a enclosed trailer like that.

None of the P5 guys are talking about getting a different machine after riding RB? Only about upgrades they plan on doing? These little "wobble box's" took a beating this weekend on trails that much bigger machines tore the hell out of in front of us. Just remember in a P500, the rocks are bigger and the mud holes and ruts seem a lot deeper.

Kickin' it with the big dogs at the top of the world.

I know I have talked about getting rid of mine before , but every time I go riding and go thru some narly s*** , this machine amazes me. Although it is a bit cramped in the cab , it still is a awesome little machine.

I felt completely comfortable with its ability on the hills and trails we road at the takeover. I know there are alot worse trails , hills and terrain at RRB that we could have tried , but I do know it's limitations!

There were a few of these along the way where @Remington and @bryanusmc would stop and get out to make sure I was able to get through the real sketchy sh**. Had more good people behind me too which ran up to push me back upright once. I thank god they were there but every time they would get out I'd think, 'uh oh they obviously see me having trouble with this'.

My kid is right behind you on his old fourtrax. Can’t believe he went everywhere we did without getting stuck.

Yeah, full skids are coming.

The Mulberry ride is very similar terrain as you discribed and I went with the full thick skids after the first ride tore the hell out of the factory skids. Washing takes a lot longer now as there’s a lot more places for mud to pack in, but.....no more damage, so well worth it. Trigger you’ll love the way you slide over rocks and feel the confidence that you’re not tearing stuff up. Careful with the fasteners when removing the factory skids. The metal they’re threaded to is thin and lots of people have twisted them off. Fortunately I only had one strip out that I had to instal a zerk nut in.

Glad you had fun. How’d your box trailer serve you? Was everything still firmly in place when you arrived???
