Isn't it a shame to have to apologize for what brand you chose? Personally, I like that one better as well.

Looks like Rambo is about ready for all those sequels!
Yes, there are a lot of gentlemen with deep pockets...I’m younger, so it takes me longer to save up. ;)

You are supposed to be less wise since you are younger and spend like crazy. Plus the sooner you get done the quicker you can start saving again.

I got it really muddy. Problem is, it's clay-heavy mud, so it doesn't just rinse off. Lots of work going to be required to get this one clean! But, it was worth it for quality time with the wife.

Hello friends! This past Saturday my 13-year-old son and I met up with my riding buddy David and my brother and we rode the Sunflower Mine Loop in the morning. We also rode the Sycamore Creek Loop in the afternoon. Back to the Sunflower Mine Loop...wow, pretty serious rock crawling. But! Rambo showed his true colors and didn't let us down. The roughest parts I didn't even get on video - with stock tires, this loop would not have been possible. Very glad I have the Ricochet Off-Road A-arm guards installed, as they took a serious beating. The SunF 26x9-12 tires make all the difference in clearance and capability. My son and I had a blast and I can't wait to explore more areas like this. Here is a short video of one section of the trail.

I do not have spacers. I think the machine did very well as-is with the Delta wheels offsetting a bit to the outside over stock. I would like to try it again with sway bar removed.
Offset wheels work. You can disconnect the sway bar and leave it in place for a test run.

Here is another short clip from some of the rougher sections of the Sunflower Mine loop trail in Arizona. This trail was gorgeous, and pretty gnarly. As always, the Rambo impressed, and got us there. Love this little P500 - and the ability to take my son along for the ride.

Where in AZ are you riding, it looks awesome and I have been thinking of hauling my rig from NorCal for a vacation. Love your videos

Thanks Leep! I'm riding in a area that is a little tough to describe (how to arrive) if you don't know the area well. But, never fear. I you come down this way, I will happily line you out on some amazing/fun AZ trails. If you come during the WARM part of the year, I will recommend high-altitude rides, like we have up where I live in the White Mountains. If you come during the cooler months, there is endless riding down in the lower elevations. When do you anticipate you will travel?

You can do that for a short test run to see if you like it (you will), but the bar WILL hit the a -arm if you just do one side. Take off both sides.

Nice videos, by the way. Looks like a fun trail I need to hit.
Thanks DG! I plan to test it soon, I appreciate the advice. This ride is fun, travel north/east on Beeline HWY till you top out at at the Mt. Ord road/pass. Then go north.
