Just put the terra 3500 on.Need tires nextNo prob bro keep up the good work
I appreciate craftsmanship & ingenuity in all forms. I was a machinist/fabricator for 20 years before moving to AK. Good design/work is always admired. I encourage my students to combine form & function. Your rig is a good example of that.thanks jak9922 and p500fan.... that makes me feel good
View attachment 5487 View attachment 5488 Moose ordered a Strong made bumper, got it yesterday installed it today. Very easy to install and did exactly what I wanted....protects the radiator very well. Very high quality and Mike at Strong made was very helpful and was able to answer all of my questions.
Kfi makes a good low mounting bracket.@Akfishbum which, winch mount did you use to mount it low in those pictures, all the others I have seen it bolts on top of that bumper? I kind of like it down low, I don't mud and would prefer to keep by center of gravity as low as possible.
If anyone else knows please chime in. Thanks
I agree. This is a strong protectI've setup and cost effective. You don't have to buy a winch plate or brush guard over headlights.Thanks @Moose308 I just like the idea of open air flow to radiator from top of bumper, not that it makes any difference under 15 mph.

No comparison in quality or cost.I think when you put your hands on one you will be blown away.You sold me, I like the looks as well appear much more substantial than the Honda add on bumper.
Thanks, @p500fan I'm still mulling it over. I like the tucked in outta the way look of that Honda type mount but like stated by others elsewhere the on top location of the strong made bumper would make for easier access, and viewing while winching from inside. Decisions, decision.The Honda OEM winch bracket sits low inside the "pre-runner" bumper/skid plate. It might be just the thing for you @JACKAL.
I kinda like the idea of a front rack. Extra storage/cargo capacity would be an asset. The front racks that are available now haven't impressed me, and I'm not sold on the rooftop carriers. I don't like the idea of putting stuff up that high. If anyone has ideas/thoughts on this issue, please respond. I'd like to get some more info.Talked to strongmade today and their rear bumpers will be available in a couple weeks. Also they are coming out with a front rack for the pioneer 500 in a couple weeks also. Gotta get me a rear bumper.
Only negative I can think of is if it is loaded too high blocking your vision.I kinda like the idea of a front rack. Extra storage/cargo capacity would be an asset.

Bolts directly to the rack.However it doesn't require drilling and can be removed easily. Rack is awesome.Just got a P500 and trying to get her set up. Like the Strongmade rear basket, does it mount directly metal on metal?
Also, does anybody have pics of mounted front basket on P500?
