^^That my friend is a tall order!! What year TLC did/do you have?

My dad and I both bought 1971's. $3100 out the door each. I put 145,000 K on mine jeeping in the Mojave and it was a little tired but then bought dads from him in 1979 when I moved to Silverton as he wanted a Scout. His only had 35K on it. I then proceeded to put 200k on it while I lived in Silverton and it was pretty tired at that point. But they are bullet proof. Long time ago now.

Well sir, you speak fluent TLC...Awesome machines, bullet proof, self-healing and iconic.

It's not power, but it's not laborious. At least over frozen ground. Muck and mire, yet to be determined.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Do you know the max width of your P5 with the 11s?

 

[ChungasRevenge]

max width of your P5 with the 11s?

At 7psi front and rear, it looks to be around 51-52ish. I just dropped a tape down for a rough measurement. Somewhere in that ball-park.

Took the the P500 out today for a test run. IMO the Sedona tires are just what I was looking for. They dig when needed, very nimble over clay loamy, griped wet sandstone like sharkskin and climbed like a goat. 2 wheel drive in every situation but one. I did not take it down into the mud/swampy areas (no winch). As soon as I figure out what direction I'm going with the winch, I'll try the soup. Couple pics just for grins.

I did find one flaw today. I've had better suspension travel on skate boards. Doesn't take much to bottom out at speed. But, my driving on the hunting "range" is not white knuckled hold on to yer' nads driving. Today, I wanted to flex the capabilities of the tires.

In the end, I wanted a sporty hybrid-esque sxs with a utilitarian side and the P500 fits that bill and then some.

With those Rip Saws you may want to tell others not to ride too close behind you because they pick up big rocks and chuck them. My Granddaughter was riding her ATV close behind me, the tires tossed a big O rock into her shoulder. That evening she had a bruise and all the adults laughed and laughed and had another beer. The End.

If I go this route I'll have to go 9s all the way around or 9s in front and 11s in back. I like the 50" trails too much to give them up.

Agreed. You can go 11's in the rear and still do the 50" trails so you may be able to do them in the front as well if that's what you want. The wider you go on the front, the tighter the steering though. But there is a $600.00 EPS upgrade.
