P1000 Picked up a new pioneer. Rolled it on day one

[SlowPony46]

just bought a 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe Saturday and took it out most of the afternoon. At the very end of the day went up a trail I shouldn’t have and took a bad line, flipped it on it’s side. Very gentle roll over and it was easy to get back up. Only damage seems to be scratches on the roll cage and a dent in one of the fender flares that I may be able to push out.

Pissed that I rolled it so soon but I figure it was bound to happen eventually and now that first scratch is long gone haha. Didn’t buy it to cruise the golf course anyway. Nobody was hurt in the slightest and we took it out again for a few hours Sunday.

The cosmetic damage is what it is but the question I have is what typically bends first in the front end of these things? The steering wheel is a hair off, but nothing looks visibly bent so I’ll probably just adjust the tie rod a turn or two to center it.

Now it’s time to start modding. Ordered a winch, fire ext mount, flag mount, and review mirror, going to need a bed extender so I can carry some supplies/cooler, and thinking about wheel spacers to make it a bit more stable if that really works.

Welcome from The Great Lakes State. Spacers do work well. Pics or it didn't happen.

If it's just your steering wheel that's off, you can pop out the center cap and remove the nut holding it on and adjust it wherever you need to. Really simple

Welcome to the club!
Ya if you’re running the good stuff there’s always a possibility of a tip. Buddy layed mine over last weekend again. s*** happens!
You’re alignment was probably off from the dealer anyways. Check to see tie rods are straight and align. I’d order up an extra and tools to change it out to bring along. It’s pretty common

Not good. Now you know what it takes to make it happen. Glad everybody was okay.

Welcome from AZ, I lived in Rockford for 10-years.

Damn-it that had to hurt your feelings a bit.
But now you can give it hell without any hesitation

Wheel spacers can be a good thing.
If you search the forum you can find replacement panels/plastics fairly cheap, even Honda doesn't charge much for most of them.

Be safe, Mike

I had that theory as well, I never really paid attention to whether or not the steering wheel was straight before the flip, so it may have come that way.

Problem is on day two I was paranoid I was gonna tip even on stuff I had gone through the day before.

Welcome to the club, sorry it happened on day one, but as the guys said yes check your steering, Wheel spacers defiantly help with the not only the stance but the stability. Check out rb3offroad wheel spacers and we offer a discount for the group. Any orders over 120 use discount code taketen for 10off. We also have whip/flag mounts etc.... If you need any help you can also call us at 480-389-7486

I rolled.my.Pioneer 700 on the first day I had it when they first came out. By myself i could tip it back upright so I walked out and to bring my RZR out to top it back upright. I

Got around to blasting all the mud off this morning and now can get a better look at the cosmetic damage from the roll. There are tons of scratches on the roll bar down to bare metal and one small dent. I want to paint that section to prevent rust. Thinking I’ll just lightly sand it to remove the high spots on the scratches and hit it with some black spray paint. Has anyone else painted part of their cage before?

Still have to look into whether or not anything is bent in the front end.

Have painted the cage several times no biggie. Don’t like dents in the cage though it does weaken it.
