Pick up my new machine in WV Friday a.m. Dealer sent me the below pics with my accessories installed - windshield, top, winch, rear bumper. Will be taking her over to family farm in VA for the weekend where I'm hoping she'll give me many years of service. I've had my Rhino there for 11 years so hoping to get at least that out of the Pioneer.

Plan to ride some trails, attempt some very steep grades that my Rhino was not capable of handling, and do some work (tree cutting, moving firewood). Will get some pics and report back - will be off the grid until Tuesday. Minor mods planned for the weekend - heat shield, bilge blower, switch pod and fuse block. Hoping for a trouble-free weekend.

That's a great looking rig. Congrats!


CP: This group looked for anything rough and had a great time. It wasn't all about who was the best or correct line just some good ol boys with a beer and a 4wd.

Congrats. I hope you have a ball with it.

But please let us know about how the new I4WD works. There have been several people who have gotten the LE but only one person has really given any feedback on how it works and that wasn't very detailed.

Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Please tell me you backed out of your purchase, your in for weeks of misery at work, all you will do is think about going riding, and may have a nervous break down and while in recovery at the hospital, you'll go through the same mental process, best thing to do is quit your job and go riding! HA!

I will do that. I'm anxious to know if it is going to be able to handle my steep grades that have prevented me from using/hunting about 50 acres of property and accessing the national forest behind me (I have a handicap that prevents me from being able to walk/climb it). I have lockers on my old Rhino and my built jeep so am also anxious to see how that might work auto-magically. Hill-start, good engine braking will also be tested this weekend. Rain will have things a muddy mess, which is good. I will get some pics and try to write an objective review. Certainly expecting it to outperform my old Rhino 660.
