I keep thinking I want another light bar somewhere, but I don't want a roof top or one on the hood. Maybe a 2nd 12" below the bumper?

Agreed. Thinking about some actual cb whips and using cb radios for communication on the ride. They all have Bluetooth these days and are cheaper than most any other option.

He was talking about "power" to weight ratio. Not engine size to weight ratio. Time for some calculations.....

The p500 is .028 HP per pound

The p700 is .028/.0255 HP per pound

P500 is 28.7 HP
P700 is 36.4 HP

Weight:
P500 is 1025 lbs
P700 is 1268/1411 lbs

Thanks Joey, I appreciate the tech on that. Now, with a P5 and a P7 in my driveway, the P7 will leave the P5 somewhere back there.

Tigermark probably has the most, but here's a couple I took when we were unloading, had a stop or two and broke for lunch.

I learned about the logistics of having to go on the trail with five men in tow. Basically you have to announce "everyone with a mustache look the other way" then you squat really fast in back of the jeep. Worked fairly well. Don't know how this is going to turn out on the trail for two weeks. I may have to learn to stand lol something I had not thought about until our trip this weekend.

Sounds like our group of girls. They're not bashful especially on night rides lol

Hi I hope your endurance test go's well and u are ableto go with the P7.as for me I am continuing to add expedition up grades to my P500, today I installed my side scid plates and got the front fender flears installed and I'll do the rear fenders tomarow, my 12" light bar came in and I need to install that. I'm in the process of getting a cargo rack built for my ride and strong made makes a front rack for the P500 that I will also be adding as well. I will be posting pics as I go. The Avenger will be a full blown expedition machine.

Love it buddy.

The three speed turbo tranny on the 700 leaves the 500 scratching its head. I have both, and wouldn't take the P5 on this trip.

Right now I could use a margarita, and some margarita weather. It's -3 here in grand forks. This trailer is cccooolllddd

 

[Montecresto]

I'd suggest that anyone traveling on this with 500 or 700 invest in replacing factory headlights with hids so on pavement you can legally see good

Thanks for that. Does the 1000 need those too?

Are you in the trailer?

 

[Montecresto]

Mopar, any ideas yet on the protocol for break downs, particularly major break downs?

 

[CumminsPusher]

It'd be way better in the std version no doubt. Led in dlx is pretty good though but HID with std headlights is still brighter
