P1000m5 Remi’s Stroker 30 Build And Other Cool Bs!

[Remington]

Well… I took the big brother amphibious vehicle to the dealer today to get the clutch update. I’ve not been very happy with my dealer but the dealer up here in Gaylord seem like good people. They’ve done 30 clutch update so far and 25 of the new airline throttlebody recall and have only found two that needed new clamps LOL. The rest of them were just fine. So they’re going to check that and do the clutch update. Mine is been just fine but I figured since I was up here for the week and I’ll be up in another week or so I would drop it off and they get it updated. @CumminsPusher When he dropped his off last week and I got my marbles rolling in my head that I should just go ahead and get it done. I don’t have any kids but now I know what it feels like sending your kid off to the first day of schoo when he dropped his off last week and I got my marbles rolling in my head that I should just go ahead and get it done. I don’t have any kids but now I know what it feels like sending your kid off to the first day of kindergarten. I hope they treat Him well.

I think it was overly obvious I didn’t want to drop my baby off either. Not a fan of not being there for her when she’s sick but this time the doctor worked out and was very professional. Your boy will just fine too lol.
I really do believe in the update otherwise I wouldn’t have bought another 1000. After some things I’ve heard and personally seen I strongly suggest having the update done, and it’s piece of mind.
I preferred the harder shifts of prior but it is much nicer now for for easy cruising. After driving with it you get the feeling it’ll be much easier on drive components down the road as well. Other then loosing just a little instant grab at times where you like it I like it it’s easier to feather on hill climbs and now I’ll drive it a more like I want rather then trying to protect it always. You’ll like it so will your neck and tires not to mention probably half shafts and everything, glad you got it in

Thanks CP. I think it will be best in the long run. The guys at the dealer were surrounding it at ah with all the mods and graphics! They’ve never seen one like that before there lol
The guy did admit that they get more poo poo’s with issues than anything else. They were pushing one out with a no start issue when I arrived. He said “it gets them business” hahaha

As some of you know, I’ve ben off this week and spending time at the cabin, riding and taking by the wife places (happy wife happy life). Als got a chance to build a much needed gun blind about 60 yards in the woods from the cabin. This is for my Dad who has real bad knees and my buddy’s dad who was a Tonnele Rat in Vietnam and is getting like my dad. I’ve ben wanting to build this for them so they have a safe and easy rout to there blind, high and dry and warm! I have 50$ into it. Most of it is made from my old cedar deck I took out! The blind is 6x6. Still got some work today fobto finnish but not bad for an HVAC guy!

Dealer called and AV is done! As MaHa Rushy would say.... Yip yip yahoo!
They said all went well with the clutch update and my hose clamps were tight.

Got the Buggy back from the shop after the clutch update and the clamp check. The clamps were good. The CU was a notable difference. Much smother in shifts , no more clicking and seemed to have a bit more high end acceleration but that could just be me lol. Low range was just awesome! I use the machine in the woods at my cabin gathering logs and hauling things to the blinds so low range is the way to go for that. In the past she would reve super high and half the time not make it out of gear and when it did, would jut catapult you forward. Now it’s so much smoother and enjoyable to ride. Took it out on the trail and equally satisfied, it was like I bought and new machine in a lot of ways. Thanks @CumminsPusher for the encouraging words about getting this done!

So glad you’re happy with the difference and pushed to get it done. And yes I totally agree with low range!

Ok, cuz of this new lift I got I mentioned that I wanted to get rid of the 1-1/2 spacers in the rear and replace them with 2” and remove the 1” in the front and move the 1-1/2”ers to the front!
Dam that was a tongue twister!
Anyway, I did it. Dam this thing is wider and stable as a cat on a high wire!

 

[Remington]

I know you can’t realy see in the pics but she’s minty wide! As in 65” (within a few 1/4”) wide!
Now a lot of guys on here have asked about my lift. It was a prototype from a friends business and it’s built and welded awesome. Anyway...he said not to say we’re it came from but now I can. They said to call if your interested it’s not on the site yet. The name is RT Pro. Now you can use your head to find the website..even this Dyslexic can figure that out! Lol.

Got a hell of a deal on this baby! “Not the gun on the calendar and not the chick with the gun!” Hahaha the LED light bar! Get your heads out of the gutter! Lol. Hopefully I’ll have it installed by the end of the week! Got a lot of crap to do! Will see.

That’s right buddy! There coming. These Motoclaws are Nice tires but I’ve had more trouble with air leaks than I care to mention. Some good old truck style off road tires or those Bf’s that look like truck tires but are for UTV’s if they don’t break the bank
