I think the DTCs this morning were self inflicted. After installing the SOTF cable, I never hooked the air intake sensor cable back to the sensor as I was expecting to reflash the truck with the SOTF software, but forgot it after having to stop after the rain started and then dropping the rocket ship.
We are having a blast buddy. I can honestly say, I am shocked at the SXS experience. After coming to the same area of Maine with quads for years, I never thought a SXS would give the same experience. I, and all of my ATV buddies, wrongfully assumed that there was no way that a machine that you sat in and couldn't stand up while taking the bumps on, would beat you up much worse on long rides. Well, after a leisurely 60 miles today I can say for certain that I will never be going back to an ATV. I finally understand why ATV sales are stagnating and SXS's are red hot. I told Maryann today that it was so nice to be back after 4 years of misery. She'd had it our last two years with the quads and the two years after that we had none. She LOVES the General from both the driver's seat and being a passenger. This is by far the happiest I've seen Elyse on a camping trip too.... and that includes Disney.
Awesome pics Rodney. If i give up jeeping, a razor would replace it. I've been on them in the dunes, and it took me a while to stop bracing myself for impact on whoops and small dunes. It's like a small affordable trophy truck.

Thanks guys. As to a second Don, can't fit two in the TH. So, when Elyse get's big enough to require her own machine, we'll have to revisit our whole setup.... Got a couple years left with her in the center seat to figure it out....
Did about 110 miles today and am cooked. On the way home spotted the site of a SXS fatality earlier this week. 10" tree broken in half about 8 feet up and on the bright white core where the bark was scrapped away, it was still soaked in blood. Elyse is a bit young for teaching moments but did explain it a bit to her so she understands why dad is no fun certain times when she says "faster" and he says "no."
Looks like a blast Rodney! And that campsite looks great. Full hookups even in that seclusion?
Got some work done today. Grassflap chute blocker installed on mower. Need to do a little more tweaking to be able to reinstall flip up belt guard for bagger. But that's another day. Not the easiest discharge design to block off but think I got it pretty good. Raining so I didn't get to try it out.
Little man decided to help out while momma made dinner.
Rodney, what do you think about the SxS when it comes to extreme technical riding? I often find on my ATV that its my shifting of weight on the machine (when standing) that is the difference between me tipping the machine vs making it over the extreme rock face. Most of my riding was out west, but I do know that the only reason I haven't rolled my quad is because of the ability to shift weight.
I have assumed, thus far, that a SxS just means less technical trails. Is that accurate? I'm eyeing the 570 vs my quad.
