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

[WBCC]

Got me some new speakers mounted and a new rear view mirror. Removing the camera rear view mirror (it keeps fogging up on me).

The speakers have waaaaaay better sound than the junk I had before.

Had these sitting on the porch when I got home today. Heavier than I thought they would be, pretty beefy. Ordered a dozen bolts and cup washers from the dealer the other day, said it was going to be like $45, Damn!

What have I done with my P5? I've been walking past it sitting in my car port for weeks- it's killing me, cuz I haven't had time to do anything but work. I have a new compressor- I drowned the other one- idiot- and a new steering rack to modify and install. Enough whining..This is kinda not the topic, but seeing the new skids you got made me think of this. I'm curious about how well the plastic skids slide over sharp rocks. Maybe someone has tried different materials.? I made mine with aluminum plate and sometimes they don't slide over the sharp stuff very well- as evidenced by all the deep gouges and dents. I've been considering making the next set out of 1/8" steel- possibly spring steel, if not insanely expensive- so that they might be less dent prone and do a better job of sliding over the sharp stuff. I know the steel will be heavier, but having the weight so low will add stability- I haven't done a weight comparison yet. Maybe steel in the center and aluminum for the rest... I dunno..

Are those 700 Deluxe wheels?
Been wondering how they would look on a 500. Looks good.

EDIT: Looks like 700 wheels and tires.

I've been running the p700 OEM tires as well.
Hard to beet the performance for that level of cost.
Really decent traction in mud, improved side bite compared to stock.
Rock traction is good.
Cost was really cheap (free and the guy mounted them for me).
There seams to be a glut of p700 take offs.
For Royal Blue or Coalmont they work well.

 

[Backwoods]

I agree they do work well

I personally always liked the 700's tires. About the worst i can say is that they weren't true to size.

Rapters?

Today I rid myself of excessive weight....

This wasn't the original plan, but contrary to what I've been told, zip tying up one side while allowing the other to remain attached WILL allow the bar to make contact with the a arm.
