A narrative of each picture would be most appreciated, the flat ribbed panels and storage tanks especially. I'm assuming you are catching dew and storing it in the tanks, how do you control the water level in the troughs?

No problem. Just had my friend drive his pioneer around that mud pit, and pull me on through. It’s always more fun getting stuck when friends are near.

There is three different style drinkers shown.The cement drinker water level is controlled by that metal box to the left it has a float valve in it ,it is use w the cylinder tall tanks.the larger metal drinker built w the 1/4” metal is used w the large flat tanks that are shown,this is our newest design ,there is no mechanical valve to worry about.The tanks all have to be set level one another,the drinker is 2” deeper in construction to the tanks.We set the drinker top 1/2 “ lower than the top of the tanks.That way once the project fills it overflows thru the drinker,and flushes it out .The third drinker shown has the float valve built into the end of the drinker box.The metal apron is built out of metal decking.These projects collect rain water.We also build shallow dams at the bottom of slick rock draws and canyons to collect water.There is over 100 of these projects built in southern Nevada.Most of them were built by flying supplies in w a helicopter.So mostly by manpower pick and shovel and hand power tools.ur limited by how much the helicopter u rent can pick up.

Finished up the OutKast A arm install yesterday. Figured out a way to make the Strong Made a arm guards work too. Tore some of it back down to paint, holes that were drilled and raw hardware. Looks pretty BA and hopefully I'll have some pics for you guys tonight. ;)
Nice. What’s the running tally $ on that sxs now.....JK. 🤣

I’ve recently gone on a buying spree and picked up the rack tray and the rack bags for the p500. Now I have all of the rack specific accessories on my list.
The soft bags are huge. I have been using an Ogio ATV bag. It was ok but didn’t go all the way across. The honda bagsare not at the same quality as the Ogio but I have several other ATV bags and they are similar for fit and finish. But, no one else makes bags for the p500 so what can you do.

The bigger bag will easily fit helmets and coats ( and my wife’s Carharts ). The smaller bag is easily the same volume as my old ATV bag. I really haven’t seen too many of theses out in the wild so I have something that fits, is a little rare and will do the job I need all in one.

Water proof as in submerge the vehicle - no.
But like any soft ATV bag it will take a driving rain.
The lid is one piece with a lip that overlaps the side for about 2".
Remember it's not going to see rain pushed by a 60 mph wind, they don't go that fast.
Well I had this ole Scout, 55 MPH was all it was good for, one day I found myself coming down a mountain and kicked into nuteral and hit 80 MPH! HA! True story!

Our gov't has put in a state of emergency to stop this virus, and has closed all the woods to ATV use, except for work. Period! And has made it illegal to drive your car unless it is for important matters, and has specifically said that it is against the law to go to your camp. So, I didn't do anything with the P500 yesterday.... or today, or tomorrow...
