P1000 The Making Of Pete

[PioneerPete]

Keep the lift and move the batteries down

come on man, you know that's not the same thing... the lift kit is adding directly to the length of the lever arm, but moving the batteries is more in the category of diminishing returns bc it gets averaged with all the other weight... moving the battery doesn't even come close to offsetting the lengthening of the 13" lever arm to 15"... that's an increase of ~15% to a directly proportional variable right there brotha!lol

I just put the fronts on - rears on order.
Wrote something here. P1000 - Elka shocks
I would have started my own build thread if I thought it would come to this but when I started i figured - who would want to read my build if all im gonna do is add a light bar - lol.

Serious though - after the HL kit, i'm done with mods for sure. Probably. Maybe.

that's funny right thar, I don't care who ye are!lol

Just don't break out the calculus on me. I might have to pull out that old HP calculator from college. Alright you have forced me to break out and design active suspension for a SXS. Then you could dial up -3 to +3 inches of of lowering or lift front or rear.

YES! DO THAT!lol

We have to come up with a name for it.

Move the beer too!

 

[PioneerPete]

Trail Amor skids? and did you use same sized tires front and back with no rubbing in front? Nice ride! And how'ed you set your adjustments on compression slow and high?

@Smitty335 it is a trail armor skid. and yes, same size tires on front and back... very minimal rubbing on the mudbuster fender flares.
They're currently set at -10 on high speed damping and -14 on low speed... I'm still experimenting to see what works best for me.

That blows,all the math up

Are you running different setting front/rear and what kind of terrain do you ride, rocks, sand whoops?

no... and yes...

Seems like you would like more low dampening in the front than the back in slow and reverse in high.

 

[Smitty335]

no... and yes...

Sandy rocky whoops? Sounds like fun

Cliffs jumping and ruts as big as the sxs

I'll probably soften the high speed damping in the front a little more next and see how that feels.

Lets hook up, sounds like fun, I'll bring my Pk1 parachute. HA!

Never rode sand whoops, I've been told the set up is very different from rocks. Did race a enduro at Draper Air Force Base that was mostly sand and it was very different.
