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

[Gassygordo]

Thanks Trigger for the steering wheel cover suggestion! Yup, took awhile to get here too. Feels good.

Was thinking I really don't need tires and wheels. With my imagination, I've got a hovercraft.....
Added 1" spacers to the rear and received, then mounted the new BH 26 x 9 x 12's. Took her out for a trail terrorizing ride. At least to the forest frogs, lizards and arachnids. With the 26" tires and the newly added rear box, unlike me, the ride seems to have toned down quite a bit. Not so uppity. Needs cannons me thinks...Waiting for it to rain and fill the ruts. Be all like Stormin Norman and s***.....in my hovercraft with cannons...

Yeah, gives it a little bling without spending a fortune.
Checking the tracking for weeks on a $10 item just drives me nuts though!

WELCOME! If I haven't already welcomed you. But have you heard about the 5000 channel Cyber Patrol radio's? HA!

Thanks Smitty, I already bought a set of Motorola CP200 radios or I'd have to check those out! Lol - They do come in handy we give one to the guy in front and the other to the sweep.

Funny you posted that today too. Since I put it on I've thought it fit a little loose, not like it would come off or anything but not as tight as I would prefer. Bought some of this stuff and just put it on today. Made of plastic, you can get it in craft stores. The product is called Rexlace, apparently little kids do this thing called Boondoggling and make key chains and bracelets and stuff out of it. Worked perfect for what I needed it for.

We called it "gimp" when I was a kid and spent hours making small braided ropes like this. I could still do it today and may have to when my wife puts me in a "home"

We made the same braided ropes, and I can still do it also. Imagine the relief our mothers got when us kids quieted down, sat down and braided ropes for a while!

Looks to be the same tire-wheel-spacer set-up that I run.I am very happy with it.

We should write an "app" so the kids today can do it on their phones

I wish,,farming has me pinned down.

I wish,,farming has me pinned down.

I've raised fish in aquaponics, mass quantities of organic produce, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, guinea hens, snakes lizards dogs etc. Farming will get ya for sure. Now I'm raising an orchard and one dog. Easy peasey....

That's wayyyyyyy more than me! Sounds like you have plenty of space to ride though. I foresee a high demand for produce and grain this year due to the prolonged midwest flooding. You may make bank this and next year...?

Did you measure the height gain or height of the old or new tires?

My experience with OG BH's were that the 25" really were nearly 26" tall at 8 psi. Just wondering if the 26 are the same way.

@trigger had said the 26's ran a .5" taller. I thought the 25's were right at 25? I dunno. I just came in from running the water filled trails and it performs much better now. Lots of grab and go. Lastly no, I didn't measure the difference. As soon as the older tires were off and the new ones on, I hit the trails a running...

 

[100Acre]

today saw the 500 empty all of the water filled ruts on the trails here at home and I imagined what it'd be like to ride Parissaswampitts Point at this very moment in time....that's to the west of the north rim of the Grand Canyon np in Kaibab NF Arizona fer all ye late bloomers...
