| Installing a few more parts over the weekend for next weeks Men's Offroad Trip out to Barnwell Mountain Rec Area in East TX. Installing new 4340 chromoly axles, high clearance A-Arms up front and high clearance radius rods in the back. I had already replaced the stock 29" tires with new 32" tires and beadlock wheels. Installed a pair of 6-point harnesses in place of the shoulder belts. | |

| Nice upgrades. I haven't ridden one of those since in a while. Much has improved. My goal was always to buy a used one with lots of upgrades. Then I learned there isn't much open area around me. It was so much easier years ago. Maybe I need to convince the family we need to move.

| Are the ozark yeti clones from Walmart ? I was wondering how they hold up , they look pretty sturdy and actually affordable . | |

| The Ozarks are from Wal-Mart. They hold up fine. No problems with mine. Cant be beat for the money | |

We go several times a year out to Gilmer in East TX, bit NE of Tyler. Haul the camper and RZR out there for the weekend or make a long weekend out of it. Going again over Easter weekend. | |

| No one broke anything this year. Too damn slick to get any grip, the axles were never in any danger of being twisted. | |

| These are far, far easier on the back than a Jeep. Lots more forgiving on the bumps. | |

| Jeep is out of the question for her. I figure she'll need surgery before too long. L5 disc gone and L5 vertebrae is 1/2 the thickness of a healthy one. | |

| Nice. Looks like a lot of fun. We would have to go out of state to ride. ____________________________________ Don't believe everything you read on the internet- George Washington.

| Yes, looks like lots of fun!
Friend in Michigan UP tells me the DNR is FINALLY clamping down on atv/utvs with loud aftermarket pipes. Imagine snowmobiles too. | |
