We will weld the back on all we can. Thanks a ton for the wisdom!

Oh, and got a set of frame caps from the club store too

Oh, led headlight bulbs here

Don't get your hopes up. Highly recommend adding on supplemental lighting if you want to actually see anything at night.

Well got to give Futzin some due here. Most P5 owners dont send it like he does

I can name four or five . . .

I have nonplans on bogging this machine, so why the snorkel, dust?

Mud busters seem a good idea, just front or both?

Yes, for me it was dust as I ride mainly out in the desert of west TX. Here's a good link of some of us that have done a snorkel.

P500 - Dust Snorkel Mod.

Has anyone done a dust snorkel mod to a P520 or any other dust reducing mods? I am looking to add something to mine if anyone has pics or videos. When I was riding in northern Idaho, a guy had one on his P500 because the trails out there are incredibly dusty, which is where I got the idea. If...

^^^^True Story!!!! ^^^^

In most cases reinforcing the front end isn't necessary, @futzin just hit something just right to bend his. In this case it was just the upper rear that got tweaked. Once I got it straight I added the gussets so it wouldn't bend again in the same spot.

I still maintain it wuttin me . . . 😁

I thought the same, deep in behind wheel face 5+2 , 1 inch spacers allready on

 

[Jason W]

Far as light, I like to keep em low I guess from Jeep experience, or you'll just blindness hell outa guy in front of you

Best place for lighting up a field, up top. Best place for lighting the trail, down low.

Can confirm, if you put them up top, they won't be there long.

@Jason W, with your winch and bumper combo you could mount a small light bar to the top of the bumper.

Or, the guy I bought my '20 P5 from had one mounted in brackets screwed into the tubes left and right of the grill.



I removed it because it interfered with the Strong Made bumper I installed.

20 inch flood spot combo bar orderd

 

[Mopower58]

I got mine mounted on the Bull Bar just below the headlights. Activated by the high beam circuit on headlight switch with Club Store supplied harness.

 

[Red500]

P5s don't have high beams, only low beam or no beam.

P5s don't have high beams, only low beam or no beam.

I didn’t know that. Thank you.

Even a s***ty day as it has been, threw the wheels and tires on, put the nets back on, for safety sake. Put jack, with extra tools and paper towels in front cubby.

Have the inside of my rear box organized, first aid, dry clothes bags, hand wipes, glass cleaner, spare tire, recovery gear and such, really happy with the tires on a short ride, radials at 5 lbs feel great, the rip saw rides better than it looks like it would.
Probably do steering, floormat, quick shield and mud busters monday,, on the lift, screw working on the ground.

Question, I think I will wire up the light bar seperate from headlight, I like to run headlights when dusty on main trails, no need for bar all the time, gonna fab some custom mounts , 20 inch, about even with edge of hood, not blocking airflow

 

[Jason W]

 

[Red500]

Definitely wire them separately, you'll want to be able to turn the lite bar of if going down the road with traffic coming towards you.
