The ATV/UTV (side-by-side) Thread

I'm guessing that there are a lot of you out there that own and use ATV's and/or UTV's (side-by-side).

I think it's time that we have a main thread to show them off. Not only your ride, but also some of the great places that you are able to enjoy due to their unique ability to take you "off the beaten path".

I'd like to see your ride in most of the pics, but that's not a hard requirement.

I'll start us off with a few:

    I think this thread is a great idea.....should spark some common interest among those who savor this lifestyle. I've got to warn folks though. You listen to Randy long enough and before you know it, you're down at your local dealer for these things. I know....he got me.

    BTW...be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hey Pard,

    We'll expect to see some pics of your new rig, shortly!

    And BTW, keep it under your hat about my bad influence. Not everyone knows that yet.

    We would sometimes go 100 miles a day up in the mountains. I'll assure you, that's further than my boots can take me.

    OK, I'm doing my part here. How bout' a little help.......................... Post em' up!
    I came this "||" close to buying a UTV back when moved to Arizona. But after a lot of research and soul searching, I decided that one of these would be better for my purpose. It's kind of a UTV, but maybe not what you had in mind. mwink.gif

    It was stock when I bought it, but I soon replaced the entire suspension to make it more capable.

    That's a great looking Rubi Joal!

    I had an 06', wish I still did.

    I tell folks that a RZR is like a cross between a Jeep and a go-cart. It can zip over rocks that I had to crawl over in my Rubi. For me, it's really not useful, just fun!

    Oh good, I'm glad you're not mad. :) This is a 2005. It was amazing off-road. I had friends in town will all manners of ATV/UTVs that I used to ride with. Even pulled them up a hill or two.

    I think the Rzr's had just come out and I found out about them after I bought the Jeep. That is the one UTV that excited me the most.

    That's Kingman, AZ, where I lived for five years.

    I did a hell of a lot of exploring out in the deserts and mountains with that rig. Sold it when I moved back to San Jose. :cry

    Does this count?
    Don't have an ATV/UTV but here is a shot of a friend's 4-wheeler. That's my brother riding it; he was trying to make the leaves swirl enough for me to get a shot but it proved harder than we thought. It was fun anyway. This one was taken at Shin Pond in Northern Maine, Oct 2011.

    You bet it counts!

    Looks like a pretty area. Nice to be out in the fall.
