i cant remember what i ran the first day of the rally 1 1/2 ago.   it was the one up a little further then moab rim and on the west side of the ride.

has anybody ever ran "behind the rocks"  on a sidexside???

i like hells revenge and fins and things and always like that as a welcome to moab ride lol   thats allot better then starting out on poision spider with everybody.

heres what i think

friday
hells revenge - fins and things
saturday
semi extreme day
golden spike to the crack or a new trail like behind the rocks
sunday
relax day or short day
possible run on moab rim.

i dont think you would want to plan to do poision spider to the crack then over golden spike.  we did that one time and it was a long day and alot of miles.  i think you would be better off doing it out and back from either side.  I havent done golden spike for a few years but really enjoyed that trail and think it is a little easier on the body/machine then the start of poision spider.

well we had another awesome trip

and once again i broke my rzr the first day.  i bent a tie rod doing nothing major, we straightened it and then went out and took it easy and bent it again doing nothing hard.  made it 2/3 of the day then we limped back to the trailer.

the next morning we sleeved the tierod with a plumbing pipe and we where good to go.

time for some pics.

i think they changed the gen 2/3 a little

i have a gen 2 that i was able to install a odessy 925 with very minor modification.  it fit in the factory box

#10 Re: The X Spot » Which UTV is best for me???? » 2008-11-21 09:40:04

RMD

i would recomend a kawasaki teryx

HUNTING and hauling ok right there you will not want a rzr because it is very limited in the cargo.  i owned a rhino and a rzr at the same time.  when hunting i drove the rhino and left the rzr home.

the teryx would be a excellent machine.  it is the best engine out there right now.  it is really sporty for a utility based machine.  the stock suspension is also the sportest of the utlity based machines.

here locally we have dealers selling the 08's for less then $8000  the 08's are carb and the 09's efi but i wouldnt be afraid to buy a 08  is it worth 2-3 thousand more for efi??

second choice would be a rhino great machine just not as sporty as a teryx

third choice would be a ranger xp,  its big and can haul ALOT of stuff  but hey its big

update

many people saw and heard my awesome front diff in moab

drop it off at the dealer they took it apart and found this
p_00017.jpg

the center plastic part of the diff just exploded.

this same part is still used in the rzr s

dragon fire makes a replacement piece and it is alluminum and should never break

once again the rzr's just are not built well enough for the amount of power and speed they make.  all the other sidexsides are utility based and handle alot more abuse.   

i would recomend only using 2wd on a rzr if you drive it like a sport machine.  then use 4wd when you need it.

RMD

it is the +4 kit

the biggest pain is the axles.  but i would recomend running gorilla axles in the rear atleast.  i have a extra set of brand new ones i need to sell.

the brake lines are the next hard thing.  but overall the rear axle suck to do according to there instructions.

i wonder if polaris will get off there butts and sell there s kit for owners to install on there standard rzrs

#15 Re: Goin' Riding... Who's with Me? » WERE IN MOAB!!! » 2008-11-19 15:59:58

RMD

i am getting a brand new front diff smile  turns out i damaged enough stuff they are replacing the whole thing.   this wasnt new damage from this last weekend it was from my 700 miles of nice easy freeway miles
