P500 Who wants a diff. Lock ?

[JWB]

Great video!

So much for my theory on the purpose of the springs

Hate it when that happens......!

It was 115 days ago that I first contacted them (8-7-17) about making a locker for the 500 , just in case anyone is counting the days............lol

On october 9th they said two months... December 9th I will have no choice but to pester again.

I don't follow, I am a bit lost....?

After every mod I do I say that I'm done. He knows I'll be jumping on this locker when it becomes available and is just pointing out the fact that it's never done.

Count me as a P500 owner who would definitely buy a good diff lock, if made.

 

[Redrocket]

Yes I'm in

I emailed them a few weeks back. They said it would be a few months, which probably means a year.

"Cora" at Torqmaster just e-mailed me back (12-2-17). Her exact words: "We are currently working on a locker for the Honda Pioneer 500." I sent her back an encouraging e-mail, advising that I know "many" 500 owners who would buy it.

Just spoke with them today. (12-4-17) Still a "few months out", no metal has been cut yet and they have the 3D printed portion complete. This does not excite me in the least. Being that it is "Build season" around here I hope they are aware that some of us do not like taking apart a rig in the springtime.

Here is the prototype FYI.

That's disappointing... and that's not what I really want to say.

I can tell ya that if they wait till April it wont matter for me. I was already thinking about making new Forward A-Arms or relocating the frame tabs to stretch the wheelbase this winter since my lift will be free, but all of that is pointless without this one cornerstone piece.

Great minds think alike..... I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Been looking for a wrecked P1000 too..

That blows...but we've waited this long and at least they're working on it. If it takes a little longer to make it bullet proof then I'll wait. Gonna be a little shredder with all four biting.

HELL YEA IT WILL BE A MONSTER SHREDDER.

Reckon I could send my diff to them and have them install it? I don’t do gears...

This is excellent news for the P500 clan.
In 4 months time they went from a request to proof of concept on the table. I'm excited.
A 500 would make a great creek runner around here but it needs diff lock to do that.
