P500 William's "hunting Buggy" Build

[William]

Added my badlands winch this week. With a strongmade bumper it is not easy. Waiting on another light bar mount and KFI extended winch wires to come in.

Would you reccomend another winch?

Would you reccomend another winch?

I would research a few first. I learned the hard way that the cables weren't long enough and no one around town has battery cable. The bolt too short issue wouldn't be a problem without the strongmade bumper, but I love my bumper. The winch itself wasn't the problem. The cables would probably be long enough for a p700... the KFI extended cables are only $45. I'm happy now that I'm about done with the install. it has a 2 year free replacement is why I bought it. I can take it to the harbor freight 15 minutes away and get a new one instead of having to ship it off. My favorite winch is the Kfi branded but I couldn't spend that much right now.

I like your setup man mine is headed that way. Do you have wheel spacers?

Thanks. Yeah I have 1.5" spacers. I also have mudbusters fender flares which make it hard to tell I have spacers.

That radio flyer makes that Honda look like junk. I remember riding around on one at the zoo when I was a kid. Now I'm dragging my son around the zoo on it thinking sh** This sucks. I look back he's got his shades on just cutting them eyes at all the good looking moms. Wait no that's me.

That's the new plastic radio flyer the millennials came up with. I had a metal one as a kid. This one is ok at best. We have 2 year old twins and they think it is hilarious when I jump in with them and ride down the hill in front of our house... I'm scared the wheels are going to fall off...

My son is about to turn three. When its just him in that wagon it's not so bad. It's the crappy plastic one as well.

$45? Damn that's expensive! I ordered 15' of red and 15' of black 4 awg welding cable when I installed the second battery and it was $40. Really nice stuff and very flexible. Rated to 600 amps.

Cheap for premade cables I don't have to mess with. Two 11 ft cables with ring ends.

Finally found a place for the other winch switch. Perfect place so I can steer and winch in .

Put 27” maxxis zillas on bc I felt the mud lite xtrs were a little too tall and heavy. Xtrs measured 28”... I have tested the zillas a little now and like them.they don’t ride quite as good but that was expected. At 8 psi they are fine. They do pull so much better in mud though! And they do measure exactly 27”...

What size winch? I put the Badlands 5000 on my 700 . I had it sunk in the creek and it pulled it out with no problem.
