I went adventuring. Snow. Is. Deep. Never got stuck. Snow depth in woods is about 30"
Looks like one of my old college party spots.
A fellow showed up at the range yesterday for a Cowboy match with a new P500. He'd traded in a RZR because it wouldn't start in cold weather. Told him mine lives at the ranch and has never failed to start. Also told him when it was time for the first oil change to come see me and I'd walk him through it up at the barn. PS: I tried to give him the gospel of the box, but he'd already ordered Version 2.0.
FINALLY ORDERED NEW WHEELS AND TIRES! Bighorn 2.0's (26-9 and 26-11) on ITP SS212 5+2 Alloys to replace the stockers that are down to about 3/16" tread. Hat Tip to Trigger! Going to try without spacers first.

Yesterday I let 2 of my boys go Riding with friends. Riding turned into mudding.
So today they got to clean the P500.

Yeah I found out that you can disconnect the wire from the bolt After I put everything back together lol.

Had something to do with the railroad I think, as this was along the rails to trails. There’s 4, maybe 5 of these in a row, this one seemed to be in the best shape. I’m going to do a little research to see what was on this site.

I love it! What tracks are you using and where did you get them from, please? I'm thinking of getting rid of my snowmobile and buying tracks...Any front interference?

Thanks! I'm running the Camso X4S model. It's for smaller UTV's, very happy I went with it. I got them from my local Honda dealer, who is also a Camso dealer. They got me a good price, better than anything I found online. However they order a fair amount of track systems a year!
There could be some front interference when while turning sharp if your inside track pivots downward, causing the rear of the track to come up, and/or that corner suspension compresses. They do come with steering limiters to help compensate for this. Also, I run an air shock system and keep good pressure in the front so it doesn't compress much at all. I've definitely put them through the tests and have had no interference. The sprockets are 14", so just keep that in mind for calculating speeds (53% of a 26" tire not accounting for tire pressure).

Cleaning out the garage on a rainy day and loading the P500 for a trip to the barn. Should have bought a P700 or P1000 for a bed.....NOT! Wish for it and it will come. LOL

More like: wish for it, then make it happen! well done . . .
Today I attempted to install the Moose 2" receiver. It fidn't dit, of course. Gotta decide to hack on it or send it back. I'm no steel worker. Two out of four bolts is acceptable, apparently. Another is close; the fourth, well . . .

A new product! Somewhere in a bar a lonely mailman just watched this and ordered another scotch.

Checked out the flooding and downed trees In the back yard. Hoping there is still a boat dock under the water.
My Moose reciever arrived Monday. I started the install Wednesday. The mfg. of the reciever was outstanding. Fit and finish was above par. Now for the down side. The bolts furnished to replace the lower, through the a arms, were SAE and not metric so the nuts you retained for re-installation did not fit the new furnished bolt. The shoulder, shank, of the supplied bolts were approximately 1/32 under size and made for a loose fit. After I screwed up the bolt threads attempting to put the retained metric nut on the SAE threads. Can you say air ratchet. Lol I went to the local Ace hardware store. Taking the replacement bolts and the stock bolts removed from the sxs and purchased the proper fitting bolts and nuts. 20 minutes after arriving back at the farm it was installed. Would I buy the reciever again? Hell yes, it's great and what I needed. Just pissed about about the poor quality control, the incorrect bolts, for what you pay for it everything should be correct. Just read the above post about the fit. I guess I got lucky there and maybe I wouldn't buy it again.
Yup, buyers of this should not expect a quick bolt-on experience; that will be the exception. I had to run get the proper nuts as well.
Glad you got yours on; I'd say now that they're installed we will enjoy having them when time to hook up.

Mine came with the nuts and the bolts. The ones for the top would've worked too but I have the Honda rear bumper which has welded nuts on it so I had to order longer bolts with the correct threads. Had it not been for that, it would've bolted right on my machine with what was supplied. I have nothing to complain to Moose about.

Evidently calling the Mfg like I did had no effect, but still everyone should call to share a piece of their mind, and put review on google maps and any site they have, web, Facebook, etc. Their Contact Us link. Send us a Message – Moose Utility Division
