P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[Smitty335]

Hunting in North Carolina. This Florida boy is freezing his back side off. Ain't it great. First buck for the year. Not large but it's meat for the freezer. The hoist worked great. The factory hitch is to low for the down support to work. I think I see a Moose hitch in the near future. I could modify the hoist but what fun would that be. Yep. A new hitch for Prudence.View attachment 166845 View attachment 166843

That's slick!

View attachment 166366 I have a beaver on my property. I helped him get a tree down and got a little trophy for me. I think this is ironwood. His choppers won’t last long gnawin through this tough stuff.

I find the busy beavers are really busy this year....

First ride with all-wheel snow chains. Honda dealer was about the same price as online- chains and tighteners $120.

What a difference on icy/ packed snow roads. Yet to use the new winch.

First snow of the year, about 6 inches. Putted about cleaning off the traps (clay bird throwers), and shooting stands. Even with stock tires almost worn down to nubs never had to think about 4WD. Love this little beast.

Did a 39-mile ride - part of the Maverick Trail - with the wife yesterday. It was beautiful, and we didn’t see another soul. I guess we’re hard-core. Nobody else wanted to be in the mud/cold. Mud - I don’t know if Rambo will ever truly be clean again!

What part of N.C. are you visiting?

 

[nctrailboss]

Visited a memorial we put up on a deceased dirt bike buddy's favorite trail today.His ashes are spread there.

Had to look that one up. Hadn't heard of it. We're you on any of the 50" segments?

 

[nctrailboss]

It's hard to beat getting out in the woods during the fall.

 

[greatcsmith]

Thanks Russ it’s coming along pretty well now. Dropped the psi down to 5 today and it’s like having a tiller for tires lol plus made the ride 10x better

Question: when you put those 1.5” spacers on did you get even width on all four corners because the rear tires are wider than the front and the front wheels are pushed out further

I haven’t installed them yet but I wouldn’t imagine it would make much difference.

Yes, there was a long section of 50" that we rode. It's a fun trail - pretty long - lots of scenery.

Where they gates or anything? Just wondering if you fit through them with your tire/wheel set up.

 

[bowhunterbill]

Some Montana mud from elk hunting.
I think it will clean-up at the end of the season.

50" trail in Colorado, my P500 wouldn't fit through with 1 and 1/2" spacers front and rear. Notice the metal posts are bent outwards from about 18" up. This was done after the SXS Club pressured the US Forest Service because the 50" posts were ripping their doors off. As a result, the bootom of the posts are 50" and the top of the posts are 54" apart.

That's what I'm wondering. Some say the gates are actually 52" on most trails...and AZ tends to be on the less stringent side.

@SouthwestORV , sounds like you guys are going to get belted over Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see those snow pics!

Lock her in and give her hell...she’ll fit
