That's the first reasonable trail shot you madman have posted in this thread!

I know a few guys that like to read about near death experiences, but never before have I encountered a whole group that's trying to experience one first hand! :eek:

Hahaha, the machines are far more capable than you think in stock form.

Definitely not a trail. Hell it is nicer than the road I grew up on. If either of the below pass for off road, you are doing it wrong.

Opening it up is more dangerous then the harder stuff imo. Speed kills
You are correct. ITs mostly sand and a lot of straight aways cuz of them being snowmobile trails, there also some articulations to them and wooptido’s all over. Just sayin that you can open it up from time to time if you want to. There are spots you can see if there’s others for long distances. It’s not my favorite way to ride but it’s there

Ya I definitely wasn’t arguing. Just saying a lot of people don’t understand that usually the technical is much safer. I’ve seen people that were scared of a fairly easy technical area yet would parking lot race at 60mph because it doesn’t take any skill. MUCH more dangerous! Especially for a newbie! Speed greatly increases gravity which hurts.

Not too long ago, a popular female rock bouncer was killed in a "parking lot maneuver" when her rig flipped and landed on her. Saw several rigs flip doing donuts.

1.5 in the front and 2 in the rear on 5-2 wheels.. that’s with shocks and lift. I’m pretty close to even. Maybe a 1/2-1” difference
What does that add up to width wise vs stock? Are you guys adding spacers to get close to factory width or adding spacers to be a little wider for stability?

I have people ask me all the time at the gas station, how fast will it run, I reply I don't know and don't care to find out! HA!

With wheels/tires and spacers I’m at 68.5” to the outside of the front tires. I think it was 63-64ish with factory tires/wheels.

Just say fast enough to to be forced to eat from a straw. The 1000 and especially the 5 seat loaded up is sketchy at top speed.

If you buy 6 + 1 for the front and 5 + 2 for the back you will be factory width.

I've got 1" spacers to go on the back when I put my 5+2 wheels on. Havent decided whether to keep it that way or go with 2" in the back and put the 1" in the front.
