P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[100Acre]

I removed the battery cover and the horn and turn signals that never worked started working again!

@Bad_bowtie @trigger Can the PS be run off of the accessorie harness ?

White wire goes to the harness or other keyed on power source, Red goes to the battery positive and black to the frame for a ground. Then just plug into the control box.

One wire goes to the harness or other keyed on power source, one goes to the battery positive and one to the frame for a ground.

Thanks

Fyi. The ez steer unit motor I have listed a 220 watt max, so ran the motor lead off the winch supply line (6ga) previously added, and the ignition-on lead was connected to harness. Would not surprise me if they are all made by the same same place with different decales,...but as long as it works, no problem. Enjoy that one handed steering!

Sorry Choog, just saw this. I ran mine back to the power block, used up the accessory harness pretty quick. Why, you getting PS?

Not anytime soon but probably will eventually. I want to see how the 500 steering is after the locker install , then I will make a decidecision on PS !

My accessory harness was also full, but I still used it. I used the plug that goes to the relay on my turn signals. I figured I don't use them much and they dont draw much power so it should be ok.

Wife came home and asked if we could take a ride in the P500 ...and the correct answer was, Yes Dear.
I married well (37 years and counting).

My thought on the rear shocks, not anytime soon but probably will eventually. Like wheels and tires, you'd never go back to the stockers now. Most anything that makes it perform better is going to be high dollar, but worth it if you can...like the locker!

Could say I got it for a number of reasons but mainly for hauling the pioneer in inclement weather, long distances and doing overnight stays.
7' x 12' plus the V nose, single axle w/7' interior height. One piece aluminum roof, stainless hardware and solid tube framing. Wasn't cheap and will have to sell some stuff to offset the cost but the way this trailer's built it will probably out live me.

What plans do you have for the inside of the trailer ?

 

[Mudder]

Could anyone with a 7 and 8.5 wide trailer post a pic with the P500 (and a person beside it) inside. Debating on width of trailer to get. Pic worth a thousand words, need to make sure I can get out if my waistline grows. Thanks.

Don't plan to get too crazy with the creature comforts, just wanted a small rolling garage really. I have a bunch of glue, 18" x 18" commercial vinyl tile and black rubber base, saved from stores I've built, that I've kept around for a while. It's practically indestructible, easy to clean and will wear forever. Plan to prime, then paint the walls and ramp with some really good exterior paint. It has an insulated ceiling liner already in it. Figure I'll install a couple rubber protectors up the ramp to get some traction on. Hope to have it done by the takeover but weather will need to cooperate, can't just back it into the heated garage and it's too cold out for applying finishes.

My toyhauler is 7' wide and I'm able to squirm out ok.. I usually load with the door held open with a bungee cord.

Haven't even pulled into mine yet, want to do the floor before I start tracking dirt into it. The math says there will be plenty of room for the P5 and looking at your pic, that'll work for me.

That would drive me nuts ,buying a new trailer and not being able to test it out!!
