P1000 This weekends activities....

[gearguywb]

Bought the 1000-5 a few weeks back to replace my Teryx 4. I use it quite a bit on sporting clays courses and love the ease of getting in/out and the bed being covered by the roof.

Added a bunch of stuff, most noticeably roof/windshield, 5K winch and a second battery system.

First real off road experiment with it this weekend at SMORR (Southern MO Off road Ranch).

My impressions:
Rig did very well overall. Pretty impressed with it given the limitations of tire size/clearance.
Don't have pics or video (too busy trying to save my buddy in his Polaris). He tried to drop into a deep ditch and was about to go over. Got him somewhat stable, used a tree strap, snatch block to get him out of there and save his bacon!

A couple of somewhat small issues:
Doors rattle! Not just a little......
A few squeaks from the bed latching system
Seems a bit "tippy" due to the limited wheel travel and tire size. May try some wheel spacers
Stock suspension worked fine but it is a bit harsh.

Overall pretty darn pleased with how it did!

I used sticky backed felt pads on my doors where the rubber stops hit and fuel hose on my bed latches. I‘m rattle free after about 15 minutes worth of work.

That blue attracts mud! Lol.
I found that it shows scratches really easily too.

Cleans up nice though

Do you have to buy qty 2 for a 1K5?

 

[Russ989]

Do you have to buy qty 2 for a 1K5?

Only if you want to replace all the door bushings. One set will do the front doors.

RB3 well worth the money in my opinion. I agree with Fro, clear plastic fuel line on the bed latches I run a couple wraps of tape around them. Also where the bed rails with the rubber pads set on the frame ( 2 locations) I cut 2 pieces of 1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" foam tape and placed it on the frame as an additional spacer / silencer. Also because I only open my bed to clean and service the machine I tie wrapped the bed release handles down tight. even on wash board roads it does not rattle.

I only did the fronts at first, but did the rear soon after. Do all four, makes a big improvement.
