Had my Pioneer for 6 months with over 700 miles. Casual riding to some good mudding. Time to get a big winch, light bar, bigger tires. Not too big, just need more clearance. Anyone have pics of a good set up and a lift kit?

There is a few lift kits coming out but you can run a 28" bighorn 2.0 without a lift gains about a 1 1/2'' ground clearance. Im running the bighorn original 26/10/12 & 26/12/12 which measure out to almost a 27". Best thing Ive done to the pioneer so far is changing the tires and wheels.

I'm not sure about running 28" but I can fit in a 9x7 garage door without rubbing.

Agree with kyhunter. You can see from my avatar I have a light bar on top and I can get in a 7'H garage door easily with stock tires. 28" would only add 1.5" of height. If you are not entering the garage on mostly level ground it might be an issue. ie:basement garage with a slope down to the door. The rear of the machine would be higher than the front and hit the frame as your entering.

I've looked at Light Bars but I'm afraid It'd get ripped off after one ride.

BigRiver put his on hood/dash in front of windshield. Wish I'd thought of that before I put holes in roof.
