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

Over the last couple of days I put in a couple of overhead battery powered lights, rearview mirror, Honda under dash tray, TurnPro signals from the club store, rear cube lights, switch panel and voltmeter/usb ports.

That attitude is why the liberals are trying to take our weapons away..

In all seriousness (which admittedly is unusual for me), I don't think it rises to quite that level of impacting how liberals think (if they do that at all). Consider that in some states, Nevada being an example, due to hunting regs, while you can carry a long gun in your vehicle with rounds in the magazine, you just can't have a round chambered. The AR in question may be "hammer down" on an empty chamber. The AR safety lever can't be moved to safe unless the weapon is cocked.

And that attitude is the attitude that empowers liberals to think they can.

You nailed it! Hammer down on empty chamber. I don't leave any hammers under spring tension while in storage. Just grabbed the 450 Bushmaster from the safe to adjust the mount (after verification of empty chamber, of course)

Not exactly on topic, but you bring up an interesting point (as like you, I enjoy mechanical stuff). It doesn't age, wear, or have any deleterious effect on springs to store them under compression or tension - it is cycling that wears on a spring's life (albeit slowly). So leaving a gun cocked, or not, should make little or no difference as far as spring longevity is concerned. That said, a new compression spring will often "take a set" upon being first compressed fully to "solid height".

It’s a line from a movie. Lighten up.

So much productivity on here. I feel inadequate because I just took mine out and got it muddy today.🤣🤣🤣

The secret to getting long life out of a lead acid battery is;
A) Start with a freshly manufactured battery that hasn’t sat around discharged forever.
B) Keep it charged. Lead acid batteries last longest when they are kept fully charged. A battery tender is your friend.
C) Not applicable to power sports AGM batteries, but for a flooded lead acid battery, keep the electrolyte topped up by adding distilled water.

Many batteries are declared ‘junk’ because the owners neglect them and let them sit discharged. The lead plates get sulfated and battery capacity is lost. It may still show good voltage, but put a load on it and it craps out.

It’s cheaper to give them some attention than it is to replace them over and over.

I used to replace batteries on my boat every two years like clockwork. Put in a battery tender and just replaced the battery this year. It was over eight years old when it finally failed

FINALLY finished terminating wires today and tested everything. Much to my relief, everything worked perfectly. BIG thanks to @Hondasxs for all of his wiring harnesses that I purchased. They are fantastic! It was nice to get the hood & seat back on after what seems like a couple of months of on & off wiring on this thing. Next is to machine & hydrodip the switch panel.

Really like the relay mounts. Nice work!

I tried about every battery on the market in my boats and the Vita Plate was by far the best 8-10 years

Still getting stuff for the new machine, so far I have a spare tire and mount, mirrors, Rotopax fuel and water cans and mounts, a fire extinguisher and mounts, just ordered all the stuff for 2nd battery install, waiting on a few more things for recovery gear... getting to be a big mountain of cardboard boxes....

All of that sounds great! Don't put the credit card away yet! Little advise from a friend, pause and let the card cool down once in a while. They are only made of plastic and are prone to melt down. 🤣

YA HOO, got a Viper 6000 winch on the way from the Club Store! Not going to the wiring this time, so it'll be right! HA!

Installed rock lights for front and back dome lights also a dimmer. Also mesh screen across the back. I know if won't eliminate dust but if it cuts alittle bit of out that's better than nothing, besides the screen didn't cost that much.
Question how did you hook up your wires from the rocker switch to the aluminum wires on the dimmer ? I know aluminum and copper wires don't mix well.

I have been looking at options for the back. I like your screen, where did you get the material for that if you please?

P1000 - Mesh or plastic rear window?

Looking at getting a rear window, just wondering what everyone has and what they like

hondasxs.com

Here is the thread that discusses the mesh windows.
