P500 Rusty's Juicebox #nohomo

Finally got the OEM 520 soft doors on, was a pain in the ass and ended up paying the dealer to install them. Really like the way they fit and how they kind of tuck into the side of the machine. Seems like they will do the job for ice fishing, hunting, and winter work. I'll go through at some point and seal the gaps, just happy it fit with the UTV801 windshield. Now I'm just trying to figure out the best towing situation.

Next on the list is Honda rearview mirror (coming this week). Trying to figure out how I'm going to do the side mirrors now that the door and door frames are covering the ROPS.

Looks like you are ready for some Montana climate. Nice job on the rig. Down at my place air conditioning would be a desired mod.

Thanks man, I appreciate your input and help you've provided throughout the build!

Winters haven't been as bad the last couple of years, but we've got some big fishing trips planned and have been debating on getting the tracks right away or waiting it out. With tracks I'll definitely need to be fully enclosed. Kind of want to see how the machine will do with chains and how often I'd need the tracks before pulling the trigger.

Your welcome. How long is your summer season and how long is snow on the ground..excuse my lack of understanding, only seen Montana in movies. Snowmobile also?

We have snow on the ground a lot of years from October-May/June. There is usually snow in the high country from Sept-July/August. No snowmobile for me - 10 ply tires and a good truck is what gets me by...and chains and a shovel in the back just in case. I had a Rancher for a lot of years that I used for fishing/hunting/cabin work, but sold that a couple years back. Hoping the 520 fills the void.

How was the fishing this year?

Early on was good but due drought and tourist is did not go out much. Looking forward fall and winter fishing.
