P1000m5 So What Do I Need to Fix First?

[UKNB]

Our new ride will be arriving this week. Im having some accessories added to our 1000-5LE

• Hard roof
• Warn 4500 winch
• 2 piece windshield

Im relatively new to UTV-ing. Been on the outside looking in for years.. not any more. Mostly rode ATVs for work back 20+ years ago.. thats been where I have had most of my experience.

I have been reading through all the forums here and a little overwelmed with what users do to their rides and Im trying to create a "must-do", "like-to-do", and "if I got some extra cash - do" priorities.

So I would appreciate some input from you long time riders out there. Im not a mudder, I dont appreciate getting my ass wet in the seat, is the kind of driving I do. I will be driving short runs alone often and will be seeking longer trips with groups.

Anything from basic kit I need onboard to critical mods and fixes/additions I should consider. Do's/don't, etc. And if anyone has a good link to properly learn winching techniques, I would appreciate it. Back in the day a winch was a luxury item my employer would spring for, so it motivated you not to get stuck in the first place (it worked!).

Thanks all in advance
Sandy M

Back windshield.

Back windshield.

Does using a back fabric window make a real difference for dust in the cab?

IMO...Roof, good tires and winch are kind of a must. Lights and windshield would be a next to do.
Then there's a whole lotta sh** for these when you have extra cash to spend, just browse the threads.

Yes, the black fabric back window makes a big difference in the dust in cab! Worth the money.

First aid kit, hatchet, small air compressor, valve stems, slime, tow strap. I believe these are must. You've already mentioned a winch , definitely good for solo rides. Get you some a arm guards.All other accessories are wants more than needs.jmo

For your tires, some folks pre treat their tires with it. I just prefer keeping some on board. It's for punctures.
