good news/ bad news.

Got it home, kids loved it, having their own seat in the back was awesome for them.

Bad news- went to put it away in the shed, had about an inch of room to spare between the top of the frame and door opening. So there goes taller tires

Sounds like you are a candidate for a cage chop! I'm starting on mine this evening...

I have the same problem, but I have the roof on to, luckily my in ramp is on an angle. This allows me to sneak in with the roof on as the pioneer is pitched back on my way in over the door jam.

An issue is either I cut the roll bar or buy a tall enough trailer if I get into an enclosed.

I'd cut it IMO. #1 You beef up the cage in the location you cut #2 It very cheap to do #3 You don't have to buy a new trailer, unless you want one ;)

I don't have an enclosed yet, although I want one, filled and tow it around the country with an RV. Kind of cousin Eddie style all the way :)

I'll have to cut my Lexan windshield also.

Man I'd love to have the same eventually!

I'm cutting mine 1.5" in the front 3" middle and 4.5" back so I can keep my windshield. I'm mainly looking to level it out and bring the back down. I don't mind the front it's the back that is way too tall.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, there has been many of us with this problem. I was going to build a shed for the utv, but I actually did it backwards. I bought the utv in the spring and built the shed around it.

Just a couple of trick I've read on this forum. You can let some air out of the tires to lower it a couple of inches. Or you can use a ratchet strap (or similar) to compress the shocks. You might even load some blocks or sacks of concrete.

None of these are permanent solutions, but they might get you in and out with a roof until you can get her chopped.
