As I have hinted in the past, I have been wanting a new side-by-side for quite a while now. I was hoping that Santa would drop one off, but it seems he missed my letter. So, I took matters into my own hands. I am so proud that I was able to pay cash for the machine, due to many years of saving. I ended up driving 17 hours (round trip) to get the best deal. I absolutely love this thing. Anyway, pics were promised, and I deliver.

We bought a used Cub Cadet with low mileage a couple of years ago. They're so helpful if you have any amount of property. I get so much more done around here now that we have it.

Crop and rotate?

Download them. Rotate them 90 degrees, then re-upload.

Then, forget to add the snotty tagline, so I had re-re-open it for editing to add "Inor was here". :biglaugh:

Very nice, always wanted one but no room here to ride, you can only go around the house a few times before getting board.

Adopt an 11 or 12 year old, . . . come back in 30 minutes, . . . they'll usually show you anything you need, . . . and mostly more than you wanted.

May God bless,

So get one like this, . . . put a horn and turn signals on it, . . . get a MC plate, . . . and pretend you are part of the newfangled hells angels.

Former owner told me for certain that 700cc jaybird will do 65mph on black top, . . . with throttle to spare.

I just smiled and told him "not with me on it".

Sparkyprep, . . . nice toy ya got there, . . . I'm like you, . . . had to go get my own, nobody could convince Santa to bring me one. Sure wish I would have done this years ago, . . . hope you have as much fun with yours as I do with mine.

Oh, . . . and don't tell the wife, . . . she thinks it is a tool like a tractor to work with.

May God bless,
Dwight

Is that RZR stock Sparky? It looks like it has aftermarket A-arms & Tires/Wheels? Is Polaris making them that way now? Those RZR's ae fast alright, my nephew blew past me with his like I was standing still, and I had my Rhino pedal to the metal. Nice Ride Sparky!

It came stock like that. It is called the "HighLifter Edition" Mud tires, lower gear ratio, lifted, arched a-arms, winch, and SNORKELS!!! All of these things are essential for swamp riding, which is what we have. Even trail riding, you usually encounter a big, sloppy mud hole in your path, or a shallow ditch crossing.

So when are going to see Hot Nursey logging on here?
Inquiring minds want to know,
and Mountaingirl is needing some girl time

I have suggested it to her but forums aren't really her thing. I'll get her over her eventually.

Very nice Sparky, my Rhino has a 3" lift, oversize ITP MudLites on the stock aluminum wheels. Mine is the Special Edition with a full steel bellypan and A-arm guards. Out here where I elk and deer hunt we have huge rocks and boulders to contend with. The lift kit sure helped. Mine is governed to 40 mph top speed.....fast enough for me.

Yep. Sounds like yours is set up perfect for where you are. We have NO rocks to speak of. Everything is fine, soft sand, lowland grass, mud, and water. Think swamp. I've had this up to 65 so far, with pedal to spare, got scared, and backed off. Those mud tires get squirrely at high speeds on hard pack dirt roads. I'm sure it will stick better in softer stuff. I'm already thinking about getting another wheel/tire set for driving around the neighborhood on our dirt roads.

I can put turn signals and license and insure mine and use it on the street. Lots of guys out here do just that. Cheaper than a Prius, and a hell of a lot more fun. I wouldn't want to get hit by one of the 12" lifted, black smoke spewing Dodge....errr...Ram pickups in mine though.

That isn't an option in FL.

I wouldn't want to drive one on the streets in Florida either....from what I hear there are too many old, feeble and dangerous drivers down there that are MY AGE and shouldn't be driving.

That's a good lookin machine, . . . should turn out bunches of fun.

BUT, . . . have to admit the title had me clicking on it so I could see a really nice double barreled shotgun.

What's up with that? Keeping us in suspense for 2 weeks? Not even a hint? Does the surprise use gasoline, diesel or gunpowder to function.

OK, as teased. I just finished (took me almost 3 weeks) COMPLETELY replacing the suspension under my RZR. New A-arms, new trailing arms, new axles, new tie rods, portal gear boxes, and new radius rods. All upgrades to make them indestructible, and allow..... 37 inch tires on 22 inch wheels!

The key to that is short videos 1 or 2 minutes at the most. That way they upload to you-boob quick and then embedding or the link is is no big deal.
