Seriously ... great job! I may get around to doing this, but not sure I want/need it with all my Packout storage.

That's such an awesome pic, @Robobrainiac

Being a Michigander, I see future trips to Drummond.

That's such an awesome pic, @Robobrainiac

Being a Michigander, I see future trips to Drummond.

My wife has a house on La Pointe island with a family trust. My wife has been there multiple times from as far back as she can remember. My first time there we were not married yet and I was 20. Since then we have been there together over a dozen times. That picture was our second trip to Drummond with the pioneer, and the first trip down marble head with the pioneer. The first year we walked down it. The second year we had more courage.

Putting A Stop To It: 05-19-23

Today I installed the highlifter steering "stop". I also "stopped" the heat from coming in with the Awesome @Bayouownbeer heat shield! Also courtesy of @Toolmaker67 I "stopped" at tractor supply and gathered up the last of the things I needed for the under seat fan mod. The 2 previous tasks are semi self explanatory. At tractor supply I grabbed a 1.25"x36" thin plate and fasteners. I made a bracket and used existing holes on the pioneer to Install some riv-nuts and then created my bracket. I think it turned out great. The fan was an 8" fan from Amazon. The color red is my camo secret power of where it will get it's speed from. Last but not least, I put a "stop" to the annoying little red flashy gizmo that limits your speed by using the most amazing club store seat belt bypass plug.

P1000 - (Hot Seat) 7" fan install P1000-3

I installed a 7" radiator fan under my seat to help with the HOT sest problem that Honda doesn't seem to care about addressing. Installation was fairly simple. I made a "L" bracket at work and mounted it to the cross brace under under the seat. Installed a rocker switch plate in the dash. It...

Last Minute Additions: 05-25-23

I installed some pod mounts and cheap led lights. I got the bolts from tractor supply. You replace the ROPS bolts with longer bolts. I used washers to space between the mounts and ROPS.

I installed the rough country 1.5" wheel spacers to the front.

Not pictured is a set of plastic tinted sun visors I installed to help with the sun glare. I drilled a hole thru my 12v sockets I had on the swamp donkey and used a rivnut to attach it to.

Day 1: 05-30-23
We rode out to trailhead 13 today. I forgot to prep the tablet for the maps and ride tracking so I stuck myself with using the Polaris ride command. I couldn't get it to track us right. We got stuck once. We used the winch to get us out. We were stopped by a ranger who checked us for our registration, he seemed nice and we talked a bit. I can't remember what trail it was but a fresh tree had been laid over across it. We did not have any means to cut it. A group came up behind us before we could turn around. They did not have anything to cut it with either. They pushed down the hillside and made a path to get across and around the tree. We followed them down thru it and lost them at some point with our cruisin/land admiring speed. We took some drone phootage in a couple of places and just overall had a really good time. The only hiccup; after we got back to the cabin we decided to take a look at trail 27. At the top of the hill the machine bogged way down and acted powerless. 1 was displayed on the gear range and the check engine light was flashing (this happened in H;auto;4WD) I did not get the chance to count flashes as I was attempting to get it going again and did a quick engine off and restart. The machine went back to normal. I didn't get many opportunities for pictures.

Day 2: 05-31-23

I didn't get any pictures today. I lost track of doing that. My wife and I went up trail 27. It seems Ride Royal Blue has had the trail cleared. It is still challenging in a different way. The last time we were here it was rocky challenging, this time it's more mud/slick challenging. We were heading down the trails to find LA Follette. Sometime in the early afternoon we met a group of riders somewhere that I don't remember the area of and we skipped La Follette to take a trip to the top of the world. We got to meet alot of cool people and found some TakeOver attendees that we are going to ride with tomorrow. The machine did great. It was an adventure filled with opportunity to show and prove what the pioneer is capable of. We used Orux with the provided map overlay we received from the last time we were here and it worked great. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. My wife and I ended the day driving out to dairy queen for ice cream.

Day 3: 06-01-23

My wife and I took a trip with a group thru Tackett. We got to see alot of cool things and meet some really good people! It was a long and fun day. Thank you @Scoop for letting us tag along with you! Thank you @Adam490 for leading a great ride! Thank you to everyone we got to meet! I am terrible with names.

Day 4: 06-02-23

We had an awesome day/trip today. Thank you @JACKAL for a wonderful ride! My wife and I were able to cross the last area off on our Ride Royal Blue list today. The prison run. It was a lot of fun and we got to meet many more great people. Stay safe @Koolaid man.

 

[GovtMule]

A true Prison. Hate I missed it, and hate it’s no longer in commission!

Day 5: 06-03-23

We rode with @JACKAL again today. Thank you again for a great ride. I did not get any pictures. We had an eventful ride. It was fun filled and no one was hurt. We hung around the staging area in the evening and listened to the band. They were pretty good. My wife and I purchased some raffle tickets and did not win. We had a good time during our first TakeOver. Thank you to EVERYONE who made for a great trip. We met a ton of cool people, and made some good new friends. We said goodbye to everyone we could see that we had met. For tomorrow we head back home. We enjoyed our stay and definitely look forward to another RRB adventure. Thank you again to everyone for being just awesome!

Back Home: 06-04-23

We made it back home. We stayed in the Trails End Suite during our RRB visit. It was nice to have an upgrade from the Hoot Owl Cabin. The truck ran great and the pioneer did awesome. The fox shocks were a huge improvement over our last visit. Very much worth the investment. I need some more pre load on the rear. After being loaded up it sagged a bit and it bottomed out a couple of times. We had a fantastic time and look forward to getting to ride again. Depending on schedules we might try to go to Drummond in September or August. We will have to see what work has in store for us. Now it's time to unload, unpack, and clean up. Then it's back to the grind. Thank you to Everyone who made for an Amazing 2023 TakeOver!!

 

[GovtMule]

Glad you made it back safely. It definitely was a good time and I agree on the Fox shocks. Big improvement

The C-fabs paired with Fox’s are a good combo? I have C-fab arms already, but I need some shocks.

Yes they are. I have swapped coils on mine as well. My wife and I really enjoyed them.

On a side note
Rough country has a new offering for the pioneers. They offer shocks with and without the external gas reservoir/chamber.
