I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the folks that got this trip together. @JACKAL @Windrock1000 @joeymt33 and any others. Thanks to @ohanacreek for pics. @JTW thanks for letting us crash at your place twice! That was a huge help. I know he likes to wind people up but he's as good as they come. @Tigermark and son @Ragnar406 @moparornocar @sugarray @Plumber32 @joeymt33 @Koda @Kilo427 @lee @CumminsPusher @Tramguage1 and all those previously listed(or any i missed) thanks for a great time. What an awesome group of guys to ride with. @knuckledeep is prepared for anything, @Kilo427 can heal you, @Tramguage1 and @Ragnar406 will fix it and @CumminsPusher will help you find new methods of testing..... After a 1600 mile round trip I can say it was well worth it. We had our struggles but It was a great group to hang out with. These are some of the most genuine and helpful people you'll ever meet. I hope to make it back down for the takeover in April. I'll have to set aside more time for sure.

I'll say I was a little worried about widow maker and probably would have avoided it, but I didn't know we were all going down it until it was too late lol. After going up dragons back and down Widow Maker on a fully stock machine (except tires) I'll say i'm very impressed with this machine. Even more so than I already was. Yes, I even had the stock skids on there . I ran out of time to get something better.

After a conversation ragnar and I had with some Polaris guys at camp I wanted to say one last thing. I believe @JACKAL was alluding to this as well. Machines are all designed for a purpose. Is a Stock Honda Pioneer 1000 the BEST machine for rock crawling, Hill climbing, Hauling a$$ on trails, or other extreme riding....doubtful....especially if doing it every day. Something a lot more custom would be a better fit. BUT, This machine CAN, WILL, and HAS accomplished all these things at different times. It's important to keep in mind what we ask of our machine and what it was truly designed for. When $h!T breaks it may very well be the man behind the wheel. While in TURF MODE I made it through and up trails I never thought I'd make. (500lbs in the back didn't hurt). I was very impressed!! Now I am no expert driver, I can't drive like Travis Pastrana, BJ Baldwin, or Robby Gordon. I'm just an average Joe from Iowa.

A pioneer can, will, and has done amazing things. I'm proud to own one and I am very grateful to have met all of you fellow owners.

Be Well
David

I still think if can get around that first hell Mary rock and have a decent line afterwards it may be doable. I don't see too much hazard in trying that section and if it can be done the dangerous part may possible. I'd say no weight up top leave roof panel off with good tires no chop lift or sway bar and good throttle. Igr best

It was great having you! Hope to see you in April again, maybe before in Wisconsin? In the mean time get some skids and 5 seater shocks and you will be set up perfect.

I was looking for damage today from the ride and my wife missed some spots when she cleaned it up yesterday.

They are kinda rough. Lol. I'm going to look at a set of 28 or 29" roctanes or something agressive for the trails on stock wheels and repair/refinish the rockstars for around here.

Hopefully some vids will show up soon.

I just finished reading 16 pages of comments. What an awesome trip! I love how this site is like a family. I hope some day to go out with you guys. I am not prepared. I have a lot of upgrades to even consider it. My biggest fear would be breaking something and not being able to get back to truck/trailer. I'm amazed after looking at list of issues that you all made it back. Kudos to you all!
