50" trail in Colorado, my P500 wouldn't fit through with 1 and 1/2" spacers front and rear. Notice the metal posts are bent outwards from about 18" up. This was done after the SXS Club pressured the US Forest Service because the 50" posts were ripping their doors off. As a result, the bootom of the posts are 50" and the top of the posts are 54" apart.

Pile up some rocks.... or two parallel logs...

Hunting in North Carolina. This Florida boy is freezing his back side off. Ain't it great. First buck for the year. Not large but it's meat for the freezer. The hoist worked great. The factory hitch is to low for the down support to work. I think I see a Moose hitch in the near future. I could modify the hoist but what fun would that be. Yep. A new hitch for Prudence.View attachment 166845 View attachment 166843

Same problem with USFS trails here, angled dirt entrance causes top of roll cage to rub on tall posts used for 50 inch restriction. Trail posts/farm fence barriers need to be no higher than tire height. Mud buster fenders stick out and also rub. Wish they were just a few inches wider but less than wheel width of next wider class of machine, maybe 58 inches.

Nice little ride down to the creek.Stayed there a while to reflect on the many things I have to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day.

Went on a Thanksgiving day ride. Took my best buddy that was visiting. He was shocked by how well the 500 did. We did some nasty wet trails effortlessly...
Of course I was testing out the new locker. Very impressed it really performed well. I can live with the manual steering for now. Not too bad.

That's what I'm wondering. Some say the gates are actually 52" on most trails...and AZ tends to be on the less stringent side.

@SouthwestORV , sounds like you guys are going to get belted over Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see those snow pics!
Indeed, we got belted with snow. However, we escaped down to the Valley of the Sun and spent Thanksgiving turkey-ing away in Mesa.

I’m not going to tag who’s Talon this is, but you all know who from last year’s take over. I figured I would post this up here first. Now that I’ve got a better Internet service it’s easier for me to upload all my old videos to my channel. Boring video but funny.
