I wouldn’t mind trying some! Lol

V plow and tracks on rear will get you most places. I tried skis and don't get enough of flotation, need to work on increasing the surface

She’s been good so she deserves a gift now and then

Replaced homemade whips as well...they lacked symmetry and it was bugging me I will redo them when it warms up and find a use for them!

COOL!

Mounted the bumper up but the bolts that came with the bumper are to short to support securing the upper two moose receiver bolt locations.

Bolts that came with the bumper are m10 x 10mm but the instructions didn’t indicate thread pitch
1.25 or 1.5 not sure which.

Looks complete now! Damn sexy

Also realized that I missed the mini BEAST’s Birthday so decided it was time for her to get her own winch

Going to run synthetic and hope I do not regret it!

And for the bad ass little SSV Head Unit something nice...

How does that antenna hook up? My SSV has the FM wire antenna, is there a way to change that out without tearing the whole thing apart?

There is a dedicated antennae hook up on the SSV box, but there is a power wire on the Rockford antennae that also has to be hooked up.

Well signs of winter’s end are beginning to appear so it’s time to focus on Sound! This will be stage 2 Audio for the mini-BEAST. I think I will test a few of the Kicker marine amps I currently have installed in the BEAST to support decision on amplifier. Considering running a few 3-way 6x9 to support mids so 1 amp that could power the sub and the 6x9’s would be ideal. Curious as to what the charging system will be able to take!

I'm running the SSV which is 200 watts, two 300 watt RF class D's and a 200 watt Alpine. That's RMS, as long as the engine is running, and you keep the all out bangin' down to short bursts, it handles it fine. It'll clip without the engine running though with two batteries.

She’s looking good, the P5 is the best looking 50” SxS out there imo.

Still debating on aux battery, the Yellowtop optima is great, but it takes up so much space! Can’t wait to see what I do

Thanks! I have only just begun

Well, it's looking good!! keep the pics coming. The pictures are my favorite part. Sometimes I find myself scrolling down and not reading anything, just looking for the next picture. I hate words and reading!!!!!!........ Why can't everything in life be pictures and videos!!! I guess this is why I feel so comfortable riding on my six seater "short bus!"
