I didn't realize how crazy capable humvees are, it's quite impressive, but it makes sense why our military uses them, I saw one over in oceano dunes, man that dude was ripping through the dunes on that thing, then he jump into this giant 50ft+ tall bowl and he got out of it like it was nobody's business, pretty cool!
Im staying at South Point I'll be heading back home tomorrow, I'm coming back next month, I'll hit you up for a beer 🍺 when I'm back and I'll come check out the rigs! 🤙

Brother don't spend your hard earned money like that, just get yourself about 20 to 25 ft of 30 conductor, run it through the center of the car like if it was an elevator gutter and branch out from there anywhere in the car you want, make yourself a dopesheet and wire everything through a fuse panel, believe me it will make it a breeze to wire anything you want from there on, you can get a fuse panel on Amazon for about $20, the 30 conductor I'm pretty sure you know where to get that from at no cost to you 😎
2 options here if want it with integrated relay, or if you only want the fuses

lol our mod / constructions is fairly dry at the moment so no spools in the shop and limited materials out and about. all good, used what i needed, toss the rest in the van and expense it because i'll use it at work. i essentially did exactly what you said, pulled all the needed wiring and 6 spares (thank god, already needed one for keyed power to the relay box) in plastic loom through the console. heat shrink labeled the wire ends, used ferrules to terminate and boom. i'm not sure how long this auxbeam relay chingadera will
last but i pulled enough if i have to change anything it'll work. if it fails i'll probably go to like an ARC panel or something like that. overbuild all day!

Waiting on front bumper to mount the amber bar and the 5150 whips i ordered but otherwise she is tits money. def hit me up next man we got plenty to do out here. if you need a place to park or anything like that my hood is secure

Sure shit brother I'll pull up with my buddy if you got enough room to park 2 trailers or if you know of a spot where we can park the trailers, we can go hit the trails with you, I'm down, let me what's up! 🤙🤘

plenty of room brother, safe hood with one way in / out. Law enforcement neighbors, no one gripes about riding toys to the desert on the street as long as no one is doing anything stupid. it's a great scene
 



my helper trying her best. i have to keep the dogs in the house when i'm working on this thing or they assume we're going for a ride and refuse to get out.

Only thing i'm sitting on for now is the rocklights (they come with shitty hardware and mounting setups) and some sort
of intermediate white light on the front. Got a custom bumper made
for the amber bar and the 40" bar up top kicks ass but I need more white light in the mid range. Once I figure that out I should be good to go.

Installed a Graves exhaust and ecu is out for a flash. Did the initial break in service this past weekend. Can't wait

Good tunes! 😀👍
 
Some things to consider. The brand at Bass Pro uses the same motors that are in Kawasaki. Ask your friends about things like engine heat, parts availability etc. My friend has the kawasaki, and although its a beast, In AZ with even mild temps the engine right in the middle of the seat almost puts out crazy unbearable heat. I personally prefer a quad over sxs for the more personal feel on the terrain.

Lastly, sxs are crazy expensive and only last under 10k miles. I would much rather buy a used 4th gen 4runner that will have ac and heat, and last for 500k miles.
 
We have a Ranger with over 10,000 miles on it, and it just keeps taking a beating year after year with simple maintenance. And Polaris isn't nearly as reliable as Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, or CanAm.
 
10k miles offroad would take me years. if i get 4-5 good years out of this thing i'll
be stoked. then we'll v6 twin turbo swap it or something

i don't like quads. my thumb gets sore
from the throttle and my ass goes numb from washboard roads we have here. the coolant system integrates part of the cage which is where the heat comes from inside the car but its not enough to make it not enjoyable. not
a single regret with this thing besides not
getting one sooner
 
i guess i have a/c too lol, those little hex holes underneath

Siiiickkkkk!!!! you're going full force on that dammm thing brother, good stuff man... enjoy it, these toys are definitely a blast to have.... you have to come and hit the dunes at glamis one of these seasons
 
FIL just bought some retarded amount of acres, my son is about to be 9, what are the thoughts on just a small offroad gokart? We do have a friend of the family that is selling one of those youth razors.

He has mentioned wanting to pick up learning to ride his PW50 dirt bike so that's a positive but it might be on the small side for him at this point in time.

FiL said we can purchase those but he will not contribute to the death of children/grandchildren. They are hypersensitive (as should) as they have a friend of the family (that we my wife and I do not know) but the kids of that family recently flipped a quad off into a creek and one of the kids got pinned for 10 min and later passed away roughly a few days to a week later from the injuries after resuscitation. I grew up riding quads around my sons age (basically on a mountain in New Mexico) but this isn't one of those hills to die on, but the dirt bike is ok. I just leave it alone, ya know. So looking for amicable other toys.
