Hi everyone. I don't have any issues to report or get advice on, I just wanted to say I am extremely glad I chose the P5. I needed something that could haul corn to my deer feeders, help me doing work and fit through the hardwoods of NC. I looked for a while at the different SxSs and am really happy I went with the P5. I put it through the paces this weekend getting our deer stands and feeders set up and it went through brush and blazed trails like a beast. Anything bigger/wider wouldn't have worked and I can't have an ATV because of my back. Here's a pic of some of the mess we were tackling.

I bought mine sight unseen. Never even sat in one. All I knew about it was from YouTube.
i should say mine was bought just for use on the property. A couple grass seed fields with some swampy hilly wooded ground in the middle.
I was expecting something less...
Yup,it’s small. But when I first saw it at the dealer(100 miles away) I was impressed with the little beast.
I think it’s a pretty comfy cab. Plenty of room for me and the wife. Or the grand kids. Fast enough even though our 250 recon kicks it’s ass in a straight line race🤣.
Noisy diffs and chunky trans but the tranny is chunky on the recon and everyone says that will quiet down in time to a degree.
Head lights suck but that’s why some fella invented light bars.
I really don’t have any complaints really. At least not real ones.....
I’m really glad I bought the little thing.
A few simple add on’s like Roof lights windshield winch some 26 inch mudders and it will be just groovy as far as I’m concerned.
Oh yeah I almost forgot. It’s wide open pretty much for routine maintenance.
What’s not to like ? 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations @BURNDOG . Welcome to the Little Tank Division. Agree that that cab area seems bigger than it looks.

For the headlights, I just got these $20 bulbs on Amazon and swapped them out. They fit in the stock headlight enclosure without modification, match the light color of almost every light bar, and throw a decent amount of light (at least equal to stock halogen bulbs). Took about 5 mins to change them out.

Yup. Got a boat load of 881 on eBay. $10-$20-$25.......
I’ll pick up a pair soon. But the light bar/pods are definitely going on as well. 👍
