I checked out a logging operation that started on my property last week. This was the best test to date for my Elka shocks. They really do make these rough logging roads more tolerable.
Right near B.F.E. I believe.

If you don’t have a pressure washer, go buy one / that is all 
I used it to move a bunch of stone I saved when our foundation was excavated (I’m on rock that fractures when the bucket digs down). I did a dry stack around our well and hydrant.

Took it to Eagle Rock Resort. Ride Royal Blue tomorrow.

Stage 3's. Although in retrospect I think for my purposes, Stage 1's would have been fine.

Thanks. Got Stage 1s on order. 4 weeks in.

I think I waited around 10-12 weeks for mine last year. Hopefully they are filling orders faster now.Thanks. Got Stage 1s on order. 4 weeks in.
Took the P5 bear hunting yesterday.
The P5 only got us to the gate- the next 4 miles up and down mountains were up to me.

P500 hauling tree trimmings to a burn pile. Such a useful machine.

For the 500 crowd that isn't lurking into some of the TO threads.
A handful of us went for a rocky ride (understatement) and tackled some pretty sketchy terrain for 50" machines. But this is called V Notch and pure hell to be staring at in real life from the seat of a P5. @lee lead the ride and actually charged up this thing. Those of us that witnessed it still don't know whether the man is clinically insane or just has the biggest set of iron balls on the planet! It was a sight to behold and he will forever have our respect.

I was there. Pretty sure, right before he hit the gas, I heard a voice cry out: The power of Christ compels you!!!
...then the buggy spun around...

Another try at black bear. June 15 in Montana. With the doors zipped closed it was comfortable in the high 20s from engine heat under the seat.

I came down it in the P5 with Ohio4x4 riding the roof at last years TO. Even more impressive to go up it though.

Lee said he climbed it 1 1/2 yrs ago with a locker, stock tires and no help. This time it was dug out too much. That last ledge at the top was as high as the hood on a P5. Several guys and a winch got him up there, only to turn around and come back down bc the rest of us said f*** that!
I'm all for sending it but that climb (as Futzin put it) would've cost me 6 months of damage to straighten out on my machine. Not worth it to me. 🤷♂️
