So what would be items that a P500 would really need at the Takeover as far as necessity? new tires, spacers, power steering, skid plates, winch, anything else? Thanks

Tires and anything to increase width for stability will help tremendously. It was really muddy last year, I would have hated to been running the stock tires.

A skid plate would also be very nice to have, that's one thing I really need to upgrade. I've beat my stock 1 to death.

You'll be fine without power steering and their will be plenty of us around in case some one needs a pull.

Like Bowtie said, better tires. If you're running with the pack I wouldn't be too worried about recovery or emergency gear, I'm sure we'll have that covered. Venturing out on your own's a different story, winch, GPS and anything else you can think of that'll get you back.

This will be my 4th takeover with the p500.

What you need : bone stock p500, beverage of choice and maybe some pretzels.

What would be nice : good weather gear or a roof and windshield.
Tow strap but not a must item as everybody else will have one.
Tires, I ran p700 take off's last year, super cheap and really good traction, 2 prior years I had stock tires.
Last year I also had a skid plate and a winch but I don't see them as must have.

What everyone else's ego must have : sky's the limit.

The 500 is underrated, heck of a little goat, that little “farm rig” does well.

I guess when your used to riding alone that you want to be prepared......riding with a large group I've never done so I'm sure safety and help will always be close by. Thanks and looking forward to meeting everyone
