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

[NTCPrezJB]

Yeah, I caught hell for that one. "Why am I always getting smacked around in your stories"? Then I was getting the hand raised at me the rest of the night, lol.

Did you tell her to "Relax" or "Calm Down"? They've always worked so well for me.

Cool. Good luck with that install. I’m sure you’re aware of the instructional videos to help you along....😎👍

 

[Red500]

Haven't watched any videos yet (didn't think of it) but I'm hoping the instructions are good.

Had to do an extra trip to the horse barn with the P5 last night - having coon problems at the horse barn, getting into feed and making a mess of the place! Ran back home and hauled the live traps back and set them up. Both traps fit nicely on the rear rack and 1 strap kept them there through the hay field.

Installed Badlands 5000 winch last weekend.Put it to work unloading logs off the trailer. Wish it could help cut and split and stack😂 OlYeller will do it’s part carrying to the shed.

I’m sure they are. But just saying there’s videos if you get into a bind, also videos can tell things that you don’t get in instructions....😎😊

Dog-proof coon traps!

Moved my small trailer to the back yard. Had to make some room in the driveway for another project. Today’s project was building another rear basket for my neighbors 500. Now my garage is full 2 Harley baggers and 2 p500s. His machine will going home tomorrow.
If I keep this up might have to make a few extras.

Finally finished the basket for the neighbor. Total time on the build was about 8 hrs. Now I might to build another for 1 of his friends. Money in the pocket. Lol.

Started installing the EMP metal roof, laminated glass windshield should arrive next week. I’m trying to keep the Strong Made front hood basket (well made, bad idea since it blocks vision in front of my P5) on top using the original 2 brackets. Looks like by turning them around it will work and light bar will be remounted.

I could get them inside the roll cage if I want to cut and put slots in the metal roof. Seems outside looks odd but is the lesser of 2 evils.

Before:



Where I’m at. The brackets will swing in the rear a bit when finished. Maybe I need to grind a curve in the bottom.

Looks good! How hard/easy to remove?

When your removing the steering shaft don’t just loosen the bolts and think the shafts will come apart, pull the bolts completely out.......don’t ask how I know just trust me!

Today I used my P500 to spread top-soil and seeds on the grass, works very well, did 4 cubic yards in about 1.5 hours. The spreader is a Ecolawn 50 compost spreader and is driven by the wheels. Only thing is don't turn too tight with the P500 otherwise, the lawn will be really well aerated 😄

 

[Mbradley42]

No more sway bar and did the reverse mod should have done both when I brought it home 👍👍

2 bolts into the junction where front and rear roll cage bolts together. That supports the weight. Not sure what I’ll do in the back to keep it from pivoting around those bolts.

Realistically, once it’s installed I’m not planning to take it off. I only pack light weight/ emergency gear up top for weight and it’s a pia to get stuff in and out. But I have it and figure I’ll use it.

Two new batteries put in today. Cleaned up the battery boxes and the jack, other than being dirty everything is holding up well. Probably put a spit shine on it tomorrow, she'll be ready to ride.
