P700 Wooden Wheels. Turning Amish?

[Travispiz]

Wow 😳🙄👍I'm speechless!!!

So you put your thinking hat on. Ingenious. 👍

Cool, maybe cut some notches for traction going up the ramp. I have to use 4 wheel drive to get my p500 up ramp. I was faced with the same clearance problem shopping for a toy hauler that my p500 would fit in. Letting all air out of tiers only resulted in lowering roof 3/4 inch. The greatest result I got was ratcheting down the suspension at each corner, got about 3 inch additional clearance. All in vain as I found the Prime Time Avenger had more than enough clearence.

I had my cage chopped 6" to fit into my enclosed trailer.

This is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pictures.

I almost bought too small of a trailer,glad I measured first and bought a taller one. Honda’s are a little tall for my liking.

I was going to do that and then I thought if I did I would not be able to buy glass windows later on

Hey all,
Just thought I'd share this method for fitting your SXS in an enclosed trailer. I've got a 16' enclosed and my 700-4 has a roof and 27" tires. Needless to say it didn't fit in the trailer even with the tires aired down and the roof removed it still wouldn't fit. What I did was buy some 12" diameter wooden disc and drilled them to fit the bolt pattern. I slapped these new "amish" wheels on and now have plenty of clearance to load it in the trailer. This might not be a great method for someone trailering to their riding destination every week but I have a cottage about an hour away and my SXS lives there most the time. Either way a jack and a cordless impact makes this a 10 minute ordeal. Not a big deal. Total cost was about $25 for the wood and took me about 30 mins to drill them. Maybe this will help somebody out.

Great idea but I bet it really lowers the top end. And probably not so great in the mud cheers

So how have they been holding up? Still on the first set?

I think they would look good painted red .

And for sure they would be faster, right?

 

[KevP700-4]

Well, I was thinking about Tusk Terrabites. Now you got me thinking there's other alternatives. Are those run flats?

 

[KevP700-4]

You do know the grain is running in the wrong direction. Dah!

No. Just carry a bottle of wood glue with you

 

[bumperm]

I dunno, I'm thinking a lift kit and wine barrel lids. Getting a woody just thinkin' about it!
