[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Now: Rat's Honda P700-4 deluxe thread. AMA

Posted: 10/6/2021 1:44:21 PM EDT

I've only been waiting since like April.

I had originally ordered a Pioneer 520, to be delivered early July. Then late July, then August, then they said 'fuck if we know.' I then switched over to a Pioneer 700-4 Deluxe, because one was already on the schedule to ship 9/30. I called yesterday, and there was an * next to my Pioneer on Honda's shipping order. My dealer checked, and the trucking company cancelled the shipment, now due to ship on 10/28.

First world problems I know. I'm not mad at Honda or my dealer, but the whole massive shortages of everything situation.

If its in a container coming thru a port then its anybody's guess. It takes us 8 weeks from the time the ship arrives to get our stuff on the railroad.

Just got a call, my p700 has arrived!!

Still in a crate though, and they got 16 in. Not sure if I'll get it yet this week or not

Just got my Pioneer home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is dark and snowing, so no pics until probably tomorrow.

The headlights surprisingly don't suck like I feared, so while I'll put a light bar on there, it isn't a huge priority.

I already have the cab heater and windshield in (had a factory hard roof put on), the cab enclosure won't ship until early next week. Still, in these temps, windshield and some heat blowing on your will feel good. I'll probably install the heater/windshield this weekend.

Please post how the install goes!

I'll get there, I'll get there. Weather has been nasty here. If the snow holds off, going to put at least the windshield on and take it for a spin today.

Got the heater (inferno brand) installed today, that went ok. Took about 2.5 hours taking my time. Seems to work well enough.

I don't have the cab on yet though, ran out of time today. Maybe tomorrow, depends on weather.

OEM headlight performance. Really, not bad. I set the camera to 1600 iso. Tonight is dark, so good time to test it.

I wanted better illumination, but don't do a lot of night riding. So I didn't want to invest in a light bar. Just yet anyway.

I bought some BEAMTECH LED replacement bulbs for my RZR. They do a great job! Easy plug and play replacements for the OEM bulb.

Been riding daily, almost all at night (taking to kids around) and I like this machine more and more.

Of course, my only UTV experience prior is a '07 (?) Yamaha Rhino 660, and then Polaris ATVs of various pre 2010 vintage.

But man, I'm happy with this machine, and the deluxe version is so worth the money. I really like the transmission, I like the paddle shifters, the seat is very comfortable for me, I think it rides very nicely. It has plenty of power for me (I wasn't looking for a racing machine), and plenty of low end grunt. I was worried the 3 speed would leave me wanting, but it does fine.

Hit Black Oak for cyber Monday, got a 10" white LED bar, and also a 940nm IR pod so I can run blacked out with nods

How's the cab? Wife decided we need one now lol.

Pacificeagleutv.com is where I got mine.

I'll give it a 7/10. The fit isn't perfect, but I got it on there. Seems like one side was a bit short, but again it worked. The build quality seems good, no issues there so far. One huge issue is the self adhesive Velcro doesn't stick to the plastic, at all. Now I did put this stuff on at about 55 degrees, and directions said at least 60, but it had no issue sticking to the roll cage.

Another issue, not their fault, is my Honda plastic roof and other brand plastic windshield leave a big gap between them that scoops in air. I fixed that with some HD contractor plastic bag material and duct tape.

Keep your expectations realistic: this won't be like hopping in your truck. However, I can dress in a light coat and be comfortable cruising around in temps in the 20's. There will still be gaps both around the enclosure and the machine itself. Light gloves and hat are needed for high winds or speed or colder temps. Keep in mind, this is with an Inferno heater installed.

It’s too bad Curtis doesn’t offer a cab. I like the one on my JD Gator and my Kawasaki mule.

I do and did! Gonna put a plow on it so wanted the power steering and paddle shift for sure. Really wanted the 520 but the wife decided that we needed a bigger seat for the grandson.
