I just ordered the KFI winch Mount part number 101215, The KFI Snatch Block, And the Superwinch Terra 35 Synthetic. I went with the Super winch because It was $30 cheaper and water proof Up to 1 meter in stagnant conditions for 1 hour. As opposed to the just water resistant KFI. Especially since both are made in China.

You'll need a winch plate to mount the winch. I added a second battery and bottle jack under the drivers seat. It was wasted space as I don't use that area for storage and it helped with the COG. Had to make custom trays for both.
What kind of extra battery did you purchase?

What bothered me about KFI, although a reputable brand was that they advertise that its "Made in the USA". When in actuality their anodizing, plows and a few other items are made in MN, but ALL of their winches are made overseas. The fact that the super winch is water proof, clockable and cheaper pretty much decided it for me. I'm not really into the bright YELLOW winch line though.

So, not being the most mechanically inclined person, one might say I'm Mechanically declined. I'm gonna be studying everyone's past posts on adding all the accessories. I'm more concerned about electrical stuff more than anything.

I still need the Honda wiring harness, Turn signals, rearview mirror, Fire Extinguisher kit, Extra Battery, Glove Box, ....? Still need to figure out the rear cargo area but may go with the Hartigg case Idea until I can do something different. How important is a rear bumper? ...

So, a 4,500 S is overkill? Maybe go with a 3,500 or is a 2,500 enough? I like to be prepared for any situation but can I get away with a 2,500 S that'd certainly save some funds for other upgrades.
I'd consider buying the non s ((cable) then buying synthetic line you'll save 80$

should've read further before posting. You're moving so damn fast!
When I sold my trailer, I wanted to utilize that money towards the P5 upgrades sooner than later and since I'm leaving for the west in a month or so, for upwards of 3-5 months depending on everything that comes up, I just wanted to be ready for any situation that may arise on the trail.

I still think that's so damn cool. Lucky man you are!

Die Hard Gold lawn and garden battery. Way cheaper, bigger and better warranty.
You said before about getting the Honda Accessory Harness for cheap from a dealer but I'm only seeing harnesses for $300+. Can you send me a link? Thanks

My 25" X 8 &10 X 12's Maxxis BigHorns arrived today so I put them up alongside the stock tires for comparison. There is no comparison. Thinking a Double Dually would be cool looking though! Gonna have them mounted at local tire shop and I'll fill them with quad boss myself.

BA Gnome! You won't be disappointed with those.
There was a guy back in the day that posted a pic that looked like he had done the dually's but it was BS! He was on for like two days and then never saw him again.
