Only the 3rd chance to get out in the 6 weeks that I've had my P520, but I do average over 60 miles a trip. Every trip out I become more & more impressed. These are just little beasts. There is just enough weight to add traction for the tires, but not enough to make them plow or dig in when on sand. This thing will do so much in 2wd that it blows my mind. Granted it's desert for me, but even get in & out of washes a foot tall and square walls was a breeze in 2wd.

It is definitely not a 60mph, fly across the road rig, but is the absolute perfect hunting rig. Jump shooting jacks during the day, or calling predators at night, I don't think it can be beat!

Oh, have to ask. Am I the only one who forgets they have brakes on it? Between the engine braking & the paddle shifting, I don't think I hit the brakes a dozen times in 60+ miles again today. Whoever says engine braking is overrated has never had it. Soooo glad I went this route & not with a Mule like I was looking at!

I have 12,000 miles with the original pads. I did have them cleaned once at the the dealer because they were squealing (mud), but with the labor cost it would have been cheaper to replace them.
