As far as I know, this machine was a mud buggy before I got it and it was pretty poorly maintained. I tend to stay away from mud but my little buddy loves it so we’ve got to hit a few puddles every now and again. Mostly it’s just rocks though. I’ve only popped off the left side stuff but the bearings are dry. Can’t believe, well I can, that Polaris calls these sealed bearings.

Ours a 17 with almost 3k on the clock, only needed a new fuel pump o ring. We sold it last winter.
Bearings arrived already. Props to superatv for the fast turn around.
Just in time to avoid costly repairs
You mean you can't just run 32"+ tires on these and never do anything to them? I am not a rzr fan.
My '08 Rhino has had a rear CV shaft changed due to my ding dong 15 yr old doing donuts in the snow but other than that pretty much nothing but yearly maintenance for like 6,200 miles. It does currently need a belt real soon though. Yeah it's slow and not fun like a rzr but I do mostly mountain trails and hunting with it.
Glad you're having fun!

My parents rangers are beasts. Nothing but oil changes and get ridden hard and put up wet and just keep trucking. The rzr is more like an italian sports car. Lots of fun but maintenance hogs.

size tires is the key, I'm guessing. We never up sized, or chaged rims.

Exactly.
Stock isn’t something that registers in my vocabulary.
I took out a Maverick RS 4 seater with the 1000 turbo engine. It had 200 miles on it. I couldn't believe how bad the squeaks and rattles were on a brand new, expensive machine. The engine was so loud it drowned out some of the squeaks. I will stick with Jeeps and Chevys, I guess I am just not a SxS guy.
Hence you need to find the equivalent of a d60 to upgrade if you want bigger tires
PRP 4.2 harnesses installed. That was a thing. Now just skid plates after my son’s belt test and then load it and be done.
Looks like our arrival time will be this afternoon
Ok. We are about 30-35mins out. Let me know when yall get here.
Saw yall pulling out as we were coming in…are yall coming back tomorrow?
Ya I saw yall. Unfortunately no we won’t be able to come back tomorrow. Got told I’ve got to many honey do’s to take care of.
Dang sorry we missed y’all. We left our other campsite a little later than we wanted. I was kinda worried we wouldn’t make it here by 5.
No worries bud. We’ll catch ya on the next one.
