I bet you were going crazy to have someone else working on your stuff, but looks great. It is impressive the RZRs are such capable crawlers and offroaders.

Wow, 400horse? That is insane!

Your ride looks awesome now! Ready for the mud bogs! Those tires ride rough with those lugs?

The rollover was scary, but I'll bet it easy to right it and get going again (compared to a full-size)

How do the 4-seater RZR's do crawling?

Be honest now, tell us how you really feel!

Have you seen those baja style races for the UTV's? Pretty cool!

Mike, the easiest thing to do is PM Entourage and say you want to become a member (free). Then check out this thread in the "members only" area:

Chad this gives you an idea how capable they are in stock form. These pics are from Independence trail which is rated at a 9 on a 1-10 scale rating for Jeeps]


Not to steal your thunder but those pics are from liberty, not independence. It is considered the independence trail system but technically that trail is called liberty. Still a tough trail, just not quite as tough as independence or patriot. I don't want someone to look at those pics and think they can run all of independence because a rzr did it just to find out the other trails are much harder! Liberty still rates 7-9 out of 10 though... http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=141

I think the holes are too big to run any of the other trails in that system with a razor. Coffin Rock for example:

Yeah, Liberty is no joke! And it'd be a challenge for ya.

Here's the exit to Patriot:

Guys with wheelbase and 40's are generally the only ones who don't have to winch out.

Obviously Liberty is doable, but my advice is to plan on going back out Liberty. Take the time to walk the others and watch tho. It's fun to see!

They removed the railing at the exit of patriot and made a ton of new lines! I drove it last time with my 37s and short wheelbase. Much more fun now! Coffin rock has been moved back to its original position as well so patriot is easier now than it has been in probably 8 years.

When I was looking for my Bronco, I was deciding between a Robby Gordon Ed. 4-Seater RZR and my Bronco. I think I made the right decision, but it is so cool to see how capable those UTV's are at Crawling.

Agreed, the Bronco was the right choice. A rzr wouldnt look as good parked at Costco.
