P500 Tie rods

[The Green Goat]

What's everyone running for spare tie rods and where are you getting them? I'm thinking about taking a spare with me to T.O.

I have never seen a report of a bent tie rod on a p500.
Could be one out there, I dunno.
They are kind of short on the p500.

(What camp site you going to be in? Incase I bend a tie rod I’ll bring cash)

Well, that's great news to hear. I'm just trying to be prepared for any likely scenario.

BTW, your advice worked great! I aligned the front end (2 twists per rod end) and the hub/rods don't cam-over anymore.

Don't take my advice and not bring a spare tie rod.
I might be needing one... 😜

Yeah we did the Jackal ride a few years ago and beat the hell out of 8 or 10 P5's for a day. Bobsleded down rock hills, went through ruts so deep your tires weren't touching the ground. RRB is the only time I've ever been on my side and I think 100acre has been over like 7 times out there. He also punctured 3 tires in a day. Have seen a couple clogged radiators too but never seen a bent tie rod after all the carnage.
Pick a smart line and send it, you're going to be amazed what that machine can do.
