P1000m5 Traveller II

[Cuoutdoors]

I thought I’d share some info I got from @nbomar about how to connect the Baofeng radio to the wetsounds stereo system.

This will allow you to use the radio as normal to talk to someone but it will interrupt your music and play the comms through the sound bar. I absolutely love it, I used for the Takeover all week and it was flawless. Volume is adjustable so I can hear comms at 50mph full throttle. Doesn’t matter if the radio is blaring or not.

The handheld radio is still mobile as it can be unplugged and taken with you if needed when you exit the vehicle. It’s still a weaker hand held and not a 25w unit but they aren’t bad and the extended antenna helps a lot.

You’ll need a BT receiver. There are cheaper but I didn’t want to mess with this again plus I wanted seamless connection to my WS sound bar.

This is the interrupter that Bomar told me about. There may be other options but I didn’t bother researching. This one works well.

The Baofeng radio has a 2.5mm out so I bought an adapter. Note this one is a 4 pole, not sure if it needed all 4 but I didn’t want to waste time. Same price as the 3 pole. I should also not that I wanted a flexible adapter and not the rigid version that would stick out 2”.

This is the above mentioned antenna. I keep it in the glove box, not sure yet if I’ll leave it on or use it when needed.

Just for reference here is the radio I purchased and spare battery. Not sure yet how good it’s going to be. It’s supposed to be a notch up from the GT-3P.

I bought that same radio and antenna. I'll get to test it out this week in Canada.

Dang HMF has cracked....



Looks like I’ll need to find time this weekend to pull it off and fix it.

I’ve also got an axle shaft seal on the differential leaking that will need to be changed out

Those are battle scars what’s the mileage on Traveller now

Just a little over 4000.

 

[joeymt33]

Of course I’ve had big tires since early 2016 so I’m sure that’s not accurate. Since early this year or maybe last fall I have had the gear reduction and the speedometer calibrators so it will be accurate from here on out

Those are slow technical miles as compared to my 4,000+ hammer down 98% of the time lol! I honestly was expecting closer to 10,000

I’ve been so ashamed of my wiring job over the past two years and I finally convinced someone to give me a hand and straightening it all out.

Early in Travellers life the wiring job started out nice and neat and my intentions were to keep it that way.

This picture shows a lot of the accessories under the hood and it was still somewhat organized.



After too many late nights in the shop getting ready for a ride the following morning, I would add stuff to the pioneer in a lazy fashion. It went down hill over the past few years.....





So I convinced @ohanacreek somehow to spend an entire day ripping everything out and putting it all back in nice and neat.

There is still a crap load of wires but at least there’s not a single butt splice or posi tap anywhere. Everything is soldered and sealed with heat shrink.



I had two switch panels before....


So now I have one panel and lost the AM/FM radio. This gave me back the cubbyhole underneath which now has four USB outlets and an extra 12 V outlet mounted flush on the back of it.


This is what the panel looks like all the time with just a few things powered up so I can monitor battery voltage and see the power switch in the dark.


This is what it looks like with the power switch on


Here it is installed...



Ohanacreek was smart enough to wire my winch switches so that I only carry one wireless remote with one wireless receiver but it can operate both winches depending on the position of the winch switch.

He also helped me separate my four cube lights to where I can run the front pair or all four. That is the top left switch.

The top right is a switch for controlling the Blue Sea mLVD. This low-voltage disconnect will automatically break current to the auxiliary power distribution module to prevent the auxiliary battery from discharging. The break voltage is adjustable and you can override it with the switch if need to.

With the winch selector button in the neutral position, the “winch in” button will join both batteries manually for a self jumpstart feature if the primary battery is too low to start the vehicle.

We also added a SAE port next to the 12v socket on the fender for accessories or charging..


I hope it all works out good as I would hate to do trail side wiring. The next ride will be four days straight in the hills of Tennessee with a lot of night riding so everything will be put to the test.

One other cool thing is the headlight relay harness from @Hondasxs. I no longer have a switch on the switch panel for operation of the front light bar. It comes on automatically with the OEM bright light switch.

Here’s some info on the mLVD...

I sealed the factory air inlet to prevent water ingress to the mLVD


It mounts nicely in that little spot hidden under the horn

Here’s the blue seas mLVD link for those interested

I also added some HEIM boots, hopefully these will save some sanity to prolong the quiet operation!

I gave Walter at CreativeUTV graphics a few ideas and he come up with a cool sticker...



Contact him for several if you’re interested.

Nice work!!

Man when you showed me that I didn’t know you were going to do a stick! I want one!

I’m not so sure if it fits your riding style!! Haha

Ah hell I drive right over those parking lot speed bumps almost as much as you. It’s perfect!

Call up Walter and get a few of them. I got four this go around for my self and band of Alabama riders.

Damn that looks good. Mine looks like your 2nd pic... I don't have many accessories yet so I'm hoping to clean it up before TO.

Looks good man!

 

[Ragnar406]

Did @nbomar sneak in there and add a wire nut while you were not looking at Disney?

Final looks really good like the multi switch for the cube lights
