New clear back flap for rain. Gun travel ready. And finally put that bumper on. Let’s go hunting.

Got links for both mounts? Thx
Hi,

I used a company called Smallrig for two bar clamps and what they call a "Magic Arm".

The first one is the clamp/arm combo:


The second is the same clamp, (not included with the tablet mount) but has a Jobi flexible arm and a Jobi tablet holder:


Even though I used the flexible arm from Jobi, you could use pretty much any arm that had 1/4" screw on both ends.

Looks nice! I ordered that same KFI bumper last evening... and I have that same Cabela's gun case.

Is there any drilling involved in the installation of the bumper?
nope, no drilling. pro tip I got here on this board, only put one bracket on at a time. the bed bolts are pretty tight, and you won't want to have them both off at the same time...

I was lucky enough to get some time to take my P520 for a ride in the forest today. As I was heading back home I began smelling something burning. It was a faint smell, nothing overpowering. Strangely, it smelled like a wood fire, nothing mechanical or electrical.

I slowed down and started looking around trying to find the source of the smell. As I slowed down I heard a slapping sound from the 520. I stopped and jumped out to examine the UTV and found a stick had wedged itself between the muffler and the heat shield and was burning on the exhaust. Mystery solved. I had gone over several fallen trees and must have picked up some debris at some point. I removed the stick and all was well.

That was my excitement for the day!

On a side note, while driving my P520 (stock wheels/tires) at an indicated 40 mph, my GPS is registering 37 mph. I've read about the factory speedometer being a bit optimistic and my experience (in addition to the other examples) appears to confirm that theory.
