Doing well Stephanie, thanks. I wonder how we managed to stay off of your radar for a year and a half? Anyways, glad you found us. How about starting a thread to introduce yourself to the rest of the chapter and tell everyone a little about yourself, what you're driving, etc? I'll approve your join request in the meantime.

No offense taken.

I still do it with my RZR, and did it once with a Toyota truck that I borrowed. Borrowing that truck was the smartest thing I ever did.

I like how the guy in the vid wrapped his front whip with a rag so it didn't scratch anything.

Whoever lent it to you would probably disagree with that statement.

Now thats funny.
Also, at least I had suspension that would handle it.
How do you like your RZR.
Are you talking about the Polaris side by side.
If so, I've got a Rhino
One of the best vehicles I ever owned.

That's why you're not a dummy. I have no doubt in my mind that the guy in the vid would not have made that attempt if it wasn't for the crowd.

We have a Kawi Mule that we used to tool around on the trails with for many years. It's slow, and the FMF pipe I installed makes it really loud, and even slower.



The RZR is like a little rocket compared to that. We've had the RZR for almost a year and so far, so good. It can get you in real trouble if you're not thinking.

During the summer we'll hit some tight trails in UT. I would've gone Rhino for the rock solid reliability, but 50" gates are a concern for us.

Where do you take the Rhino? Is it in Nor Cal or SoCal? I'd love to ride around Shasta.

It's up at my joint in Norcal.
I've been thinking about getting another one and was curious about the RZR.
My Rhino is a damn work horse and will climb a wall.
We flogg it mercilessly and it just keeps on going.
Only replaced a battery.
And minimal service cause every time I'm up there it gets used and put away.
Damn fine vehicle.
