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

[P1K5Dave]

You'll be ok with the 300s. I had about 800 lbs of passengers in mine last week and it did fine.

FOA - Viper recommend # 350 for my load.
You'll be good.

I weigh about 220.

My wife and I with our cooler, and tool bag/box, with some additional stuffs should put the total weight around 2700.

I just invested in the 250lb front and 300lb rear. Do you think I need to go heavier?

You can always put another 1/4” of preload on your shocks to compensate for additional weight. I was watching a YouTube channel several months ago where they were installing coilovers on a Chevy Tahoe using 350# springs.

Cool. Thank you! I am excited for them!

I was going to use FOA, they were cheaper on the Viper coils but shipping made them more expensive than daves offroad.

Got the Fan override kit, thanks Richard!
Got all but the switch mounted in place. Works as it should.

For you LE guys, there is another wire connection near the fan connection that looks kinda like where you tie in the override harness... it's from the I4wd valve assembly.
Took a few more minutes in the 100 degree heat to figure that out..
Added 3 ounces of purple ice, just for...

Fan Override Switch mounted, works great. Shout out to Richard @Hondasxs for making these quality modification products for our buggys.

TTC rear bumper came in the mail yesterday. Mounted it up today. Need to get some longer cable for the Viper winch. Very happy with it thus far….

Can you get a side shot of the bumper? Curious how far it sticks out. I'm looking for new rear bumper options with my rear winch

Vurban Industries - Tusk

I have to give a shout out to Nathan with Vurban Industries.
He made my Tusk Terrabite wheel and tire purchase perfect, by quickly replacing what I wasn't happy with.
The Tusk Terrabite - Uintah wheel combination in 5+2 is the perfect setup for my Pioneer. As was their before and after sale customer service.
This is just gratitude to an honest vendor for a quality product.

 

[P1K5Dave]

They took tires back? I'm assuming you didnt actually run them before you decided you didn't like them?

 

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

I love the Terrabites, but I had 2 that were out of round. 150 + miles, Vurban replaced all 4, 100% at their - Tusk expense. The new set ride, drive and handle perfectly on pavement, rock, dirt and mud.
Highly recommend Tusk Terrabite and Uinta 5+2 combination - 28x10x14.
Most importantly, Vurban Industries - Nathan, was the best.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Cool, good to hear a good customer service story.

I bought my wheel/tire set through Vurban as well. Nathan was fantastic to deal with pre and post purchase. Glad you had a similar experience .

That's good. I'm not interested in adding that much length to my machine especially with my winch tucked forward of the hitch.

My 2022 Forest came with rear bed lights and front interior light. They were wired for separate switches which seems like a waste of a perfectly good hole. Removed one of the switches, cut the connector off and spliced it’s 12 volt out into the other switches 12 volt out so I could run all interior lights from one switch. Used the extra hole for my aux/ key on switch with the oversize switch adapter from the club store.
