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

[grease monkey]

Wished somebody made a box tailgate extension for a P520 like for the larger SxS but found nothing for my P520, so made my own. Just times I need a little more box space.

I joined the packout club today.

Hey Hoosier1960- is that just the Milwaukee plastic tray that you hooked to the rack for locking the pack-outs into?

I'm thinking of joining the pack-out club too and trying to decide what to use for the pack-out connection point. A friend has a trick aluminum tray custom made for his Talon. I've been trying to decide on what to go with for the mount tray for a while now.

They are the Milwaukee Packout mounting trays. Something like $29.97 at Home Depot X 2

Thank you sir.

Ironically, I ended up looking at Milwaukee tools at the Blain's Farm & Fleet last night - ended up buying a M18 angle grinder for they had it on sale and got a free 5.0 - M18 battery with it. But right next to the grinder display they had the Pack-out accessories and found they make 3 different size trays - the $29.97 being the "mid-sized" one. Looks like they are pretty sturdy so might hold up OK to banging around on the trail.

I knew they had 2 sizes, didn’t realize they had 3

 

[MI-Trailblazer]

Yep, there are 3 sizes:

Finally installed (with ALOT of help from @futzin )my spacers today. It feels very stable.

 

[The Green Goat]

What size are those?

 

[KyGal83]

What size are those?

1 inch fronts and 1.5 inch rears.

Should make it harder to flop, but I will still mange to flop it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have 1.5 inch both front and rear. Feels much more stable.

 

[Red500]

That should help a lot. Make sure you torqued them down good.

I hand tightened with this socket and extension. That should be good right?


(It’s a joke. They should be good and tight. I think? 🤔)

I did that to the wheel lugs… all good right?

Did you tack weld them on?

 

[KyGal83]

Did you tack weld them on?

No, welding smells funny and burns my eyes… so I used a hot glue gun and a little bit of J-Bweld.
