    that is the one loss......

    and honestly the prerunners pull the bitches and drops the panties, more than UTVs do.... but they are much more cost effective and way faster. haha.

    I like my AC, Stereo, Dust free environment. Fuck UTVs. I hate those things and a major of the people that drive them. They will single handily close half the trails in montana and wyoming at the rate they are going.

    LOL, funny, it's added to the list already cause of that EXACT pit! Thanks for the help that night! Hope we didn't wake you!





    And agreed that those 525's are rad bikes!!!! I would love to have a dual sport one along with my 300xcw. I love my 300 on the single track and rocks but it doesn't really like the open desert where those 525's are amazing!

    I like to haul ass :D

    i'm the same, i do enjoy the dust free environment and what not, thats why i got both :) I just don't have the cash to be a trophy truck driver in the prerunner cause i break a $1000 part every time i play trophy truck. :( hence why my truck has been broken for 6 months.....
    racer mentality, in a truck thats not a race truck is no bueno, $$$
    i went from racing dirtbikes, to getting really injured and putting it all in my truck, going slow is too boring for me......

    All relative i think.

    Going 40-55mph on a mountain pass rocky cliff trail vs flat open desert with whoops at the same speed...going to feel slow in the desert, not so slow on the mountain pass cliff road..

    Yeah its not to bad. these rfs engines are pretty sturdy. just adjust the valves, keep oil in it and it will go for a hell of a long time before needing a rebuild.

    I like my ac and BJ's to but I'm getting fat. Need something to keep me active.

    I keep an eye out for sr1 rhinos occasionally but havent seen any deals lately, they're all $15-20,000 and screw that.

    On another note holy crap, I think I just drove a long travel truck for the first time, the revalve/respring on my coilovers made a million times difference, seriously. I knew my coilovers were pretty bad since my old mid travel was smoother but never had time to tear them apart.

    I have brand new swayaway 8 inch coilovers, used mounting plates, and used 500# springs for sale, if anyone wants a deal.

    UTVs are the single worst thing to happen to the desert since quads. Any fucking retard can go finance one with having no idea what the rules are and try to kill his family. I've had more close calls with those abortions in one weekend in the desert then my entire life before they existed. I'm going to start nerfing them this season

    Carlos at Camburg got me taken care of. Dropped off my housing and he got me squared away with upper 4 link tabs. Also got 2.5" wide uniball cups needed for the front of my links.

    Well you are not some affliction wearing 40 year old asshat trying to prove to his brat kits that he is still cool by not pulling over for a 6000lb prerunner coming up at him at 80mph honking and flashing at him while he is getting his ass kicked by little whoops at 30mph

    Much respect! :thumbsup: my little brother is one as well. Fucker drops in from a helicopter in the middle of a fire with only a chainsaw and an axe. You guys are crazy! You do what most people wouldn't dare. Good for you!
