Good morning & Merry Christmas to all.
Looks like Santa upgraded his sleigh to a SXS this year.

Finally put the new wheels/tires on last week. Looks much better.

Dune Life - October to MarchView attachment 240190View attachment 240191Good old dumont how's the weather over there right now?

 

[AFTRSHK]

Weather is great, dunes are destroyed. It was a wet November / December, dunes wrecked from December Buggy Round-up (high horsepower sand cars) and the large number of bigger SXSs (Mav R's and RZR Pro Rs) since then. Gonna try riding this weekend, but seen preview videos and there appear to be many new witches' eyes and rough ridges. Here's one of my night rides from New Years.

Need to get larger tires now that we sold the camper. Polaris Ranger BC XP1000.

I just put the Maxxis Carnivore RT 30x10x15 on my Can Am, so far they have been amazing. Added 2” of ground clearance over the stock tires. I changed out the A arms to move the suspension 2” forward and gain additional clearance in the front to accommodate.

I went with the Methods andTusk Terrabite 32x10x15 on my Can Am with rear spacers. Have stock suspension and added cheap Dirty Teeth 2” lift. Worked out great so far. Rocky Mountain ATV had a great deal on them and very fast shipping.

I have 28” Terrabites and love them, just need bump the size up.

I have 35” Terrabites. They’re okay but my sidewalls are getting blasted. I’m wondering if there’s anything beefier.

I'm on the 3rd set of tires on my Talon. The BFG KM3 have been, by far, the longest lasting and most sidewall puncture resistant tires I've used. The traction is slightly less than the Maxxis tires that were OEM (but they lasted only 1000 miles). I'm at 1500 miles on this set of BFGs and they are only about 1/3 worn in heavy Mojave Desert and Utah use.

Let's ride!

Let me add that I had three sidewall punctures with the Terrabites before I switched to BFGs.

Likely the direction I’m going after this set wears out

I have been in some gnarly terrain here in Idaho hunting and no sidewall issues.

 

[TMartinLVNV]

I love trucks, but SxSs are amazing too. This is the biggest hill climb on Sleeping Princess Trail between Kingman and Bullhead City AZ.

I was about to post in here about shock therapy - anyone used their services?

Yes, decent work.

I used Vital Performance up by LVMS. They did my shocks and replaced the springs. I am very happy with their work.

 

[Camarox2]

I was about to post in here about shock therapy - anyone used their services?

Yes, I sent in all four of my shocks (Which are big, heavy and cost a lot to ship) from my 2021 Can Am Maverick RC. Very happy with the results- new springs & revalved. Shock Therapy does good work, but they are bit pricey on their services.

Your can even make an appointment with them, drive over and be done that same day.

I used MTS Off-Road and was amazed by the difference. I have the live valve Fox setup, so I waited, thinking springs and valving wouldn't make much difference, but it was one of the best investments I made on my RZR.

BTW, there is a big SXS event coming up in Moab, April 23rd-25th, if anyone is interested. Guided trail rides, vendor events, and big raffles.
