P500 Project RAMBO - upgrades and adventures...

[Todd627]

You basically got it. I ordered SUNF "Power II" tires, which are the equivalent of the Maxxis BH 2.0. I ordered four of them in size 26x9-12 as you stated. I have seen multiple references to a 1" spacer on the rear with the setup, which is what I will likely do. Planning to mount these tires on new ITP Delta 5+2 wheels. Hope it turns out nice.

You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to see the pics.

I ordered the ITP wheels and center caps yesterday. All of it should be here within the next week. It'll be fun to "reimagine" Rambo.

I ordered the ITP wheels and center caps yesterday.

I noticed 1 site (and only one)that mentioned that flat lug nuts, rather than tapered ones are required.
14x7 4/110 2+5 ITP Steel

Any comments from others that have the ITP steel wheels?

I'm ordering the 12x7's.

They arrived! SunF A051 "Power II" tires, in size 26x9-12. They came in via UPS today. They look awesome. Now I just need my ITP Delta wheels and centercaps to show up...and Rambo will have new shoes. Rambo and I are tired of being outdone by everybody on this forum!

Looking forward to pics and feedback. Now I just need to select something else and gently apply peer pressure.

Allow me to steer your peer pressure in a certain direction - Trigger Shield. That's likely where I'll spend my next centavitos.

I know I have said this to you before but you will not be disappointed my friend. We went for a couple of rides down the road this past weekend and I am still amazed at how much quieter the P5 is with @trigger's Trigger Shield installed. You will be saying "why in the hell didn't I do this mod first"

Very interested to see pictures of these on the machine. I see a lot of guys running nine inch tires all the way around, and I wonder if it looks odd. Since the stock tires are tens in back.

I hope your in the garage putting them on I can't wait to see the finished product.

I’m meeting a buddy at 5:30am tomorrow morning to mount them on Rambo.

Here's a little video I did of the new wheels and tires - prior to mounting on the Pioneer 500. I think they look sharp, very similar to what I've seen on many other P500's here on the forum.

Where's the pics of them on Rambo . Also what did you think when you rode it. You kind of left us hanging.

So, my company left last week on an annual retreat to fish at Lake Powell. I got back in time for worship services on Sunday. Poor weather the past two days. Forecast looks good in the morning...I’m excited to make it happen!
