P500 Update on the 17 p500

[JTW]

Since you all have been patiently waiting.. sorry I'm just now taking a break from wrenching. I see no need to put the windshield on tonight as I have no roof.. and I'm going to hold off on all things electrical until I can take my time and not rush..
basically.. I've added the strongmade bumper.. I can't seem to find the bull bar for it though??? I added HID lights.. I mounted my aluminum tool box and strongmade basket.. added the 2" hitch receiver and I'm about to remove the sway bar. I'm going to cut a rubber mat for the basket and then call it a night.. I would have loved to have gotten more done. But oh well. I still have to wash some clothes and pack for the trip. I hate being rushed and doing s*** last minute..

Hey at least you got a machine for now. and camo is the way to go. Not that I'm biased...

I'm happy with it!

 

[JTW]

Hope you have an extra set of hands to help with assembly, that's a tall order to fill in one night. If I were close I'd offer to help as it's fun to add all that.

Nope.. just me.

Looking good. Have a nice trip. Be sure to sub a umbrella for the roof.

 

[JTW]

Congrats JTW Love the camo but that sure sucks about the roof. Cant wait to hear your opinion on the auto-shift.

So far I like the auto shift for cruising around.. we will see how it does on the trail though. It's a little clunky but I think mine is better than my buddy's. I hate the seatbelt not allowing you over 15mph if it's not buckled.

 

[JTW]

Looks great @JTW glad it finally arrived !!!

They sure did raise those restraint bars.

I had my doubts about them but they're actually perfect for leaning against and resting your arm.

 

[JTW]

Please give us a top speed report JTW.
Be careful though, new machine and all, wrecking it would cause a lot more damage than a bent basket.

Same as the 16.. 40 is about all she'll do

 

[JTW]

Congrats JTW..... That is sharp and I love the looks of the tires. Have fun!

They'd look even better if they'd gotten my wheels in but.. oh well. White walls will go in on the new wheels

 

[JTW]

Bought time @JTW, now you can come earn the bull run membership! We've never had a P500 come with us, you may show us up.

Poor guy is trying to get his parts on and every 15 min he's getting a notification of a new response to the thread lol

I put you f*ckers on silent!!

 

[JTW]

We really should have some picture updates by now.

You do now!

 

[JTW]

I've always had a wandering eye for the camo, congrats JTW!
Welcome to the club for real now.

Thanks man.. it all worked out.

 

[JTW]

Not sure that I like that style of restraint bars. But I like the machine as a whole!!

They're really not too bad.. I had my doubts but they're nice to lean against and the perfect height to rest our arm.

 

[JTW]

Bout time! I was about convinced you were f.o.s. and hadn't even ordered one lol. Congrats.

I was starting to question that myself!

 

[ehart814]

Lookin good already. Gotta love the camo...

Can't wait to see the rest of your goodies on there... Have a fun ride, and take some pics when you roll it!

That's a QOTD if I ever read one.

I'm happy with it!

Well ya...that's because it's freakin awesome! Congratulations! . ..... Damn I want one!

 

[Shadesmn]

Looking good. And I'm glad to see you are waiting on electrical stuff, it can be very time consuming sometimes. Best not to hurry and mess that stuff up.

 

[moparornocar]

Looks good. Congrats man

This was the condition of the tarp when I finally arrived!!! And the tarp left a nasty coating on e windshield that took 2 hours and serious elbow grease to get off.
