Welcome from South Florida

That's a nice starter list you got going on there 😉

Few FYI's.....

If you're going to be riding in muddy areas a lot I'd reconsider the a-arms guards. They do/cause more harm/headaches then it's worth.

Tires, if you're not upgrading suspension components you can go up to a 28", no reason to spend extra money to stay stock size IMO....

I'd check out @SuperATV for the skid, windshield, bumper, etc, etc....... they'll hook you up with a forum discount if you reach out 👍.......or just 👉 @SuperATV 😉😂

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. Good inclusive list.

Your list is a great list. SuperATV offers discounts for us here at the club. Otherwise you have to wait for sales on other manufacturers. You could go with fox shocks if you are looking to save money. Stay away from bracket lifts (unless you absolutely do not care about ride quality. However I see you want shocks. So again, no bracket lift) Determine your auxillary battery size requirements. A big battery will fit under your seat but leave no room for most pioneer heaters. A small battery can fit under the hood. I have a marine deep cell under my seat to listen to the radio for hours in the garden. I very much enjoy my SuperATV flip up windshield but if I could go back in time I would have invested in a flip up glass windshield. If mud is your primary terrain but you are looking for a decent ride I would highly recommend the SuperATV Intimidators. All of the skid plates are better than stock. Some skid plates might contact your tires if you do not run forward arms. Ignore the a arm guards. You don't need them.

The Purchase: 07-16-20 Hello All! I don't think I have made an introduction yet. I have been on here for awhile now. My wife and I are from central MO. We recently purchased our first home on 20 acres almost a year ago. We have had a couple Honda 4 wheelers for maybe 4 years now and enjoyed the...

Some skid plates might contact your tires if you do not run forward arms.

And some skid plates WILL contact your tires even IF you DO run forward a-arms ...

Must do's: Aftermarket skid plates and Fox QS3 (or Elka) shocks. Big fan of Trail Armor skid plates - 1/2" UHMW.

Forget the a-arm guards, especially if you're going to upgrade to aftermarket (forward offset) a-arms

A few other things I consider important that are not in your list:

Throttle Max (gas pedal)
Fire extinguisher
Tire repair kit + 12V air pump

You could double the strength of your stock skid plate by covering it in lengthwise strips of duct tape. Probably take a roll and a half…

Just enjoy the thing, and

Welcome from the mountains of WNC.
Sounds like you got a pretty good handle on what you want to do, I agree with @JenElio on the A arm guards though, I’ve been running stock arms on my P1K since new with no issues. That is several trips to RRB and swamp riding in south Fla.
You will also want to put together a tool kit and a recovery bag cuz you just never know what might happen.
Good luck and pics when ya get it.

The wiring starts at the club store with the key on harness. Add a light to the front then move on to the reverse work light combo. Can’t beat the plug and play stuff for your projects. Skid plates are a definite

Welcome from Mississippi. I like the Honda rear bumper. Trail Armor skid plate, like has been said before, no A-arm guards.
