Steve, yes, it's a different animal on the technical stuff. However, after years of coming here to Maine, I have never come across a trail that is too technical for a SXS. It's mostly logging roads with some rugged rock crawling through the woods and the occasional mud pit from time to time. I did't feel uncomfortable on any grades etc.

Looks like a blast Rodney! Glad the little one enjoys it right there with you.

Great pictures Rodney. My co-worker has a Ranger 900 SXS full size and he has gone with me and another buddy (us on 4-wheelers) and we've hit some very technical, steep rocky stuff. I was amazed how that Ranger was able to climb and claw its way up very well. With a full cage, it's also safer, too.

Nice pictures Rodney...wish we had areas to ride like that down here. All we have is thick woods and soft mud! Sold my Polaris XP-850 last year because I finally realized at 70 yrs old I'm getting too old for riding in our conditions. Too much winching out of deep mud. We still have a Ranger that we keep at the camp in Grand Isle for riding to the beach.

I really like my Ranger 900. If I could have two more inches of clearance it would be just about perfect. I'm not willing to make a big change to the suspension with new A-arms and likely new axle shafts. So my added clearance would have to come from taller tires. The loss in power would kind of suck. Mine is mostly stock and in need of a full skid plate. Zero problems. In about 700 miles it's been back to the dealer once for a recall and once because I overfilled the transmission and thought I had a leaking axle seal.

We had some nice trails behind my house until they started building homes there. This was about 5 yrs ago riding with the oldest grandson with his Honda 420 Rancher. I go back to the days of the 3 wheeled ATV's in the 70's!!

Got my two screen doors to the glass place to get my Lexan panels cut and fit. I'm going to do Monty's install with the industrial velcro on the outside. Dave's was nice as it was sectional with tabs but fitment is harder to figure, he had to adjust his mounting tabs, and my inside push bar I added might conflict. Anyways, they should be done on Thursday and I'll have pics. I ordered my velcro on Amazon.

Still not sure on the exhaust diet plan. Monty seems to have his CEL situation sorted with updated tunes and Josh tells me the 17's don't have this issue. If I want it in before Dells, I'd have to order this week. Not really feeling the annual reinstallation aspect of living in MA though...

My running board that peeled was on back order... Like ever other 2017+ part that my truck has needed... Should be in this week though. I'll stop by the dealer on the way to pick up the screen doors to see if they have it yet.

I would like to know how eBay is doing the 20% off. If I was a vendor and I was forced to sell at 20% off my listed price I would be a bit unhappy. eBay must be picking up some of the tab on this.

eBay is picking up ALL of the tab on all their latest coupons like this. The seller doesn't even know about it. eBay supplements your payment through PP.

The more you spend, the more you save buddy!! LOL.

Hey Tom, while you're here, I found a new angle on our iPhone volume to max issue. It would appear it's not only after being connected to the Ford BT. It does the same after being connected to my Polaris too. So, there must be some protocol that other brands use to play nice with our phones that Ford and Polaris don't employ.

LOL! Looks like at least a new set of mower blades, since I'm needing a new set anyway. Surely I can find something I WANT and not just NEED!

You know, I haven't had an issue with the max volume since the latest update. Mine seems to go back to normal after disconnecting. I'm sure it'll screw up the next time I connect it though...

You can use the coupon on multiple items Tom. Just add them all to your cart before checking out. If you check out a single item, the code is done on your account.
