P500 Poll - Power Steering Usage

[DaddyDubbs]

Thought it might be interesting and possibly helpful to see what type of steering you are using

Manual. Lol Planning on power steering in the future

PS made a better driving experience even more than I thought it would. EZ steer.

Once you have it, you’ll never go without it again!

As soon as I added it to the P5, I realized that i should have done it on day 1. The P5 is gone but I'll never buy another machine without power steering.

Once I had a locker the effort went up considerably and the choice was no longer an issue.

Got it and it is a great addition....

The very first mod I did and it has been great!

Steering. Haven't done the locker yet, but i have never needed it yet.

Ok, cool. I did too many mods to mine before I ever thought about PS, and now don’t think I have the clearances for it. And I agree with the locker. In our terrain, the P5 is more prone to be horizontal tackling anything that we can’t climb, good as they are stock, IMO.

No PS for our P5 just PP for us.

I'm a little on the big side because I like to eat so I use the stock P5 steering with locker installed to help keep my arms strong to better shovel food into my mouth, it really works out nice because I can buy MORE food with the money I save from not buying a PS unit.

Actually I'd love to see a rack and pinion power steering unit made for the P5 they have them for cars but I havn't found one small enough that looks like it would fit a P5.I use the storage trunk tray area and the PS are slightly in the way from what I have read.

EDIT: PP = Personal Preference

Hmmmm........

But the Power Steering allows for one handed use, leaving the other hand for food and drink!

Power steering was the 3rd Mod for me after tires, and stupid Reverse lever...

well for me ignorance is bliss because I don't know what I'm missing by not having PS.
(NO I don't want to drive one that has PS, that would end my bliss)LOL

I'm thinking of adding many switches to the dash, one being a seat belt disable switch but I have to leave that reverse lever alone just because I know who will be driving it and what they are capable of.

On the plus side I may have sold my King Quad 400 which will allow me to add a plow to our P5, I'll know Nov 17 if it is sold.

Power steering here.. It frees up one hand for sipping on a juice box or picking my nose while driving.Love it!

I installed the Tusk kit day one (with help from friends) & it was simple & works great!

 

[TJoffroad]

Ordered the EZ Steer the same day I bought the P500. Easy install. I did use a posi-tap connector instead of the supplied connector for the white wire (power from switch). I have had bad luck in the past with the ones that came with kit. From now on it is posi-loc/posi-tap or solder shrink wrap.
