My P5 got through everything pretty well at takeover! I had sway bar off, 27” warthogs, uhmw skids are a lifesaver and they can be bought for $220 on eBay! 1.5” spacers in back....only thing I need to do is look into WE and maybe some RZR seats for comfort!
27" kenda bear claws and 1.5" spacers all around. Disconnected the sway bar. The bash plate took a good hit at a creek crossing but no real damage. All in all the P5 performance far exceeded my expectations. Choogsbro took us up some hills and over some rocks that really tested the machine. Power steering would have been nice when going through some of the rocky parts but dollar for dollar its a great machine.

This is the side that was dragged against a mud wall. Tore the nut and washer through the aluminum. Took off the nut and bumped it out, went right back into shape. Put a fender washer behind it and it's good as new. Also replaced the green A that was torn off and one of the door jamb graphics. Other than a few battle scars she's ready to ride.

If power steering is in you're budget, I highly recommend getting it. It sure was nice having it at the takeover!

Yeah I guess! Everything held up really well though as I was hoping it would. You down for next year Monte?
Lol. I’ll always be at Talladega waiting for a Jimmy Johnson win at takeover dates.
