I think the later in the day it gets, the worse the judgement gets. I ran out of room on the memory card before we got to the gnarly shit, which is a good thing. We tried for an hour to get up a rock trail, with no success. 1 bent A-arm on a Ranger. 1 factory skid plate on prowler, toast. Also shredded a valve stem and scratched a black SS108 all to hell around the edge on my cat. But axles held up superbly. There were several near misses as far as rollovers go.

Well Codog, the story goes like this. We iced all of our beer down......Do I need to go any further? Drunks + SxS's = Pissin' contest. Never fails someone does something nobody else has tried and then everybody thinks they have to give a shot. Higher climb, deeper mud, bigger hole, you name it we try it. We usually look out for each other as you will note by my spotters in these pics.

You Need Doors On That Thing. Your Legs Look A Little Exposed. Codog Knows About Those Pissin Contests. He Hangs Out With Baja 63 & Butthead.

Kanonball, those factory skid plates were the first thing to go on mine. Only made two trips and they were gone. I built some out of some .125" sheet metal same weekend I built the roll cage. So far so good. Doors are next. Dont need any broken legs. I will post a few pics later.

It's been going everywhere we have been going. i think its a 2003 model. He is going to be purchasing a SxS in the near future. He's gonna wait and see how the "Big Red" turns out this summer. I told him it looks like 20 lbs. of shit in a 10 lb. box. He was sold on artic cat til I started breakin axles.

I use Crow 5 point harnesses...you DO need doors for leg safety.

Id recommend a helmet if your going to do any BIG jumps...occasionally the headreas of the seat will smack you in the back of the head. (saw stars once hitting a small 10 footer at Lake Elsinore but just didnt land it smooth...BAM...)
