P1000m5 Traveller II

I didn't think I'd have this stuff early enough to install before Friday's ride!





CATVOS rear arms for someone. I may bring them to Bull Run Friday and see if I can upload them.

So what's the difference between the catvos and satv arms?

 

[joeymt33]

Super ATV has a little bit less ground clearance but moves the tires to the rear one and a half inches.

looks good..I can see where that could have some advantages.

I really don't like seeing the sparkle of metal in the diff oil when I change it. I've seen a slight amount in the sub trans and the rear diff. While I know this is fairly normal for gear cases with out oil, I still don't like it. Why don't we have magnetic drain plugs?

Well, I do now. Neodymium magnets are super strong so I bought some on Amazon and stick them to all 5 drain plugs. I hope it works well, stay tuned for my next oil change to find out.

Great idea Joey!

 

[joeymt33]

I know we've all pulled magnetic diff or tranny plugs and seen the metal powder stuck to it. I hope this does the same thing.

Oh by the way, those magnets are rated for 10lbs. I hope they screw with a sensor somewhere!

I believe you can run a little current through the drain plug and turn it into a magnet...

Up next was the winch, front bumper, and limb risers. The winch was a lot easier than I thought. Step one was to throw away the OEM instructions and do it my way.

What is the purpose for the string from the front bumper over the roof?

Those are limb risers to keep the trees from slapping the windshield and GoPro camera that is mounted on the windshield. It also protect those lights on the fenders.

 

[CaptainGadget]

Ahhhhh that makes a lot of sense good idea

Brought this home today! It's more of a farm rig for my father. My brother may take it out some times on our Bull Run rides but it won't get accessorized and then beat like mine. I'm just excited to have a white one and a 3 seater with the full size bed.

The plans for this are some 28" tires like the Tensor Regulators or something similar that will last longer. It will prob get a winch and "under hood" snorkel. We hope to get a rear bumper and rear panel for it too.

But it won't get lift kit, 30's, arched arms, etc. it may get a skid plate but it's expensive for the occasional trail machine.

"It won't get accessorised" that's what they all say. Lol

You better sell those Catvos a arms quick. I can just picture them on the back of that one!

Don't forget a farm rig needs to be able to work at night meaning multiple light cubes and bars, switch plate, dual battery, and I'm guessing your father enjoys the occasional song...so he is going need a basic radio setup with speakers. Lol. You know I'm right!
