P1000m5 What did you add to/do with your Pioneer 1000 5 today?

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

I have a built in inclinometer from many years of running large heavy equipment in sketchy situations. It also comes with a pucker alert.😯
Hope your friend had minimal damage.

Ah, yes the bubble in the posterior. Sometimes hard to recalibrate though.

Installed SuperATV Flip Up windshield. Don’t want you to see the pollen all over the Pioneer, so no pics.
I have to say, the provided instructions are dismal. Their video helps, but there’s a whole lot of details left out.
For instance, if you have a Honda roof the upper windshield clamps have to come off to save a whole lotta cussing. And the gasket between the two halves, both written instructions and video say to install it, but neither says which flat spot it goes on. Even rewinding the video it’s not clear. So I did that last, when the correct spot was obvious. There was a SuperATV sticker where the gasket had to go, so I was thinking it must not go there…
Try as I might, I couldn’t get the alignment of the top and bottom to meet up right. The passenger side upper windshield is about 1/8” higher off the lower than the driver’s side. I pulled, pushed, twisted, tweaked, loosened, tightened, and threatened each and every fastener, but they continue to mock me. It’s not a big deal, it’ll work fine, but my OCD just doesn’t like it. I still may bend the upper bracket just a little if I can’t get used to it.
Had a bunch of screws and washers left over so I added them to my collection of fasteners.
Two sheets of fancy stickers I’m not sure what to do with. I have a crapload of various stickers, but tend not to use them because I don’t enjoy removing them.
All in all, it looks like a quality product and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.

Most of us have struggled a little with this windshield. The second time I installed mine I left all hardware loose and used a rubber mallet and an extra pair of hands. Everything lined up good.

My buddy and his machine had no damage. Just a slightly bruised ego.

Rubber mallet… I see where I went wrong. The one tool I didn’t consider.
I have two of them, one for each hand. Do I still need the extra pair of hands? If so, will I need more mallets?

I got mine picked up from the dealership! I’ll be posting the stock wheels and windshield for sale pretty soon. Wanted one for a LONG time and finally pulled the trigger!

Mallets?? When I was on the department, they sent me to FBI bomb school. (Kind'a like sending a pedophile to work at a kindergarten.) There I learned there are few problems in life that cannot be resolved through the efficient and judicious application of the proper explosives.

Welcome @GovtMule from TN. What part of TN?

What wheels and tires did you go with?

I ended my Army career as a Combat Engineer. Just for some perspective, that’s like a grunt with lots of explosives.
I worked for a heating oil company after that, doing residential oil burner service, aka making fire. They liked to cross train their people, so I got sent to Propane Bulk Plant Operator school, got certified, blah blah blah.
One day the boss tells me to go unload tanker cars into the storage tanks. I looked at him funny, and he asked what was wrong.
“Nothing, really, it’s just that I was a Combat Engineer, and we like to blow sh!t up. Do you think it’s wise to leave me alone with a quarter million gallons of propane?”
He sent me anyway.

 

[JMynes]

Oh, getting back on topic, I used the Pioneer today dragging old rotten timbers from the back yard up to the front, loaded them in the dump trailer and took them to the dump.
1800 lbs of rotten, crappy wood out of my yard.

SE- Cleveland area. Also I see that I posted in the wrong section! My bad.

The wheels are MSA’s but I can’t find the model yet.

Tires are …28’s

I understand. I spent 40 years of my career blowing up stuff.

Got up early and warmed my P1K5 up and then done a engine, DCT, oil change and both engine and DCT filter changes. Then changed the sub transmission oil. Used Honda GN4 10w40 and oem Honda filters. Took a quick spin then a clutch relearn. All went smooth. 👍🏻

 

[Dasmoeturhead]

Quick 10 mi round trip to the grocery store to pick up some hot dog buns. Almost jinxed the whole 4th.

 

[Wellzy]

Rotated my tires, left to right and changed the pressure to 16 front, 17 rear.

Installed one of those fancy communicators over the weekend. I'll be exploring antenna options in the future but this works for now.

'Bout scared the piss outta myself on the weekend ride.

I put one of these carbonated sparkling waters in the front passenger seat and forgot about it. It rolled to the crack between the upper and lower seats, where all the heat comes in.

4 hours later, KABOOM! And my side was all wet and warm, like something hit me and I was bleeding. Jumped out and pulled this out of the seat:
