Rock Crawling, Desert Trails, Breakdowns. I come from 4 wheeling Land Cruisers and Land Rovers all over Utah and Nevada and rather than trash what are now collectible cars, I've set my sights on what UTV or SXS can do. on this cannel, SXS Off Road Adventures, where we are doing Trail fixes upgrades, testing the limits of our driving skills and machines, exploring new trails and heading out for unplanned adventures.
SXS UTV product reviews? Yes. Performance mods? Yes. We’ve got something from everyone, RZR’s, Generals, Rangers, Kawasaki’s and Can-ams.
I'd like to show you the trouble we get into, the fixes we come up with while we're out in the wild, and just some good old-fashioned fun with our machines. My name is JP and you will be meeting my entire riding crew on this channel. Bonner, Boomer, Baldwin, Slick Rick and Grampa to name a few. Please make sure to subscribe!
I see your point about energy density. Categorically easier to fill up a gas can or two for the weekend than look for an outlet or set up a trailer with solar, batteries, inverter, and everything else you need to keep your things charging. Having said that I don't really agree with your "more moving parts" point. The logistics are a chore but I'm certain that's the only thing that would be worse about an electric UTV on a camping trip. Our electric car has needed 500ml of fluid in 40k miles. Our ATV that we had needed oil changed, carburator cleaned, air filter replaced. My fuel injected motorcycle needs chain lube every week and an oil change a year. I don't think I'd buy another gas machine for utility purposes or rec. For my use case of semi rural living and occasional utility I'd have the kinetic over just about anything else. Fast, fun, cheap to run, and if I used that I'd never need to run to the gas station just to fill up. I'll admit I'm not going away for the weekend with it but if I did I'd hit a campsite with power available and call it good.
Great perspective, thanks for sharing. I would love an electric UTV. My want list would be lifepo batteries and a 40-45mph top speed. So much heel dragging from the old fogies! Change is coming my friends!
Those tiny electrodes on the factory plug are because it is an iridium plug. Any iridium plug I've seen has that design. They are considered the superior plug technology, and I can see why. My car's plugs made it to 160k and still looked like they had a lot to go, I only replaced them as I was chasing fuel economy gains, but it didn't make a difference, so my suspicion that they had more to go was probably right. If whatever random brand you got has a bigger electrode, I would be curious if it is even iridium, if not, it is likely a downgrade from the NGK stock plugs. Iridium tips are a tougher metal, more resistant to heat, and tend to last longer from what I've read and seen.
And yesterday I confirmed that 😆 I was under paddled and now I need to make a video about it. Still not all in on the diner thing. I ran with cars pushing 450hp on Saturday and was just spinning my wheels
I know exactly where you’re coming from. Everybody buys these rigs. They always have to add more parts better parts upgrade, and they spend so much money to upgrade their rigs and then I’m kind of upset because the cards are so much higher and price.
So no aluminum nor carbon fiber liner, that means that when it does happen again, and judging by how you come across in "this video", it will happen again 🤣, you'll be buying another enclosure...great, makes a ton of sense..🤔🙄😒, so, on another note, to what torque value did you tighten your Primary and Secondary bolts to?...Oh wait, as much as that Cordless impact would take it to...great job!..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..
I love this video for a bunch of different reasons that will spare everyone with. I own a 2023 Max RS Turbo RR 72. My dad owns the 64 onch wide version. Both are extremely impressive. they really are so similar it comes down really to the suspension if comparing both Versions stock for stock. we primarily ride on the trails of Arizona, which are hard pack and rocky with mostly quad trails and jeep trails. To state the obvious, the main limitation of the 64-inch wide version really is its ride height and how quickly you run out of suspension travel. meaning The 72-inch version rolls over larger bumps with ease, whereas you may consider slowing down in the 64 so as not to bottom out. On hill climbs and decents, the 64 does drag its belly a lot. So far, the 72-inch version has not drug on anything yet. The argument really was suze and the concern for not fitting on/in tight trails. So far, I have gone everywhere with ease. I do not regret my decision to go for the wider wheel base version with more suspension travel. I feel it gives you more options and rolls over obstacles much easier. So, in a nut shell, it boils down to personal preference. As an owner of the 72, I have zero regrets. It blows my mind at what these things can do and how easily they do them.
Two reasons I’m considering an electric. 1. Stealth 2. I have a solar setup and grid-tie. I have been converting tools and everything to electric. If gas becomes unavailable or so expensive, I don’t want to lose my ability to work or patrol on my property. If I didn’t have solar, I wouldn’t even think of owning one.
Great video. I purchased a 23 X3 XRS Turbo RR, and haven’t looked back. My buddy has a Pro R and is constantly down for maintenance. 750 hard miles on my X3 and she just wants more!!
Dude never vid, great advice, but please stop using your winch and one back strap to hold that machine down, it's nit legal and your risking others bro. Good 2 inch tie downs are cheap Again nicely done vid, I've seen deaths from poor trailering, isn't worth it. Peace.
So I personally own the new Maverick R and I can say it’s amazing! I have put around 300 miles on it already and have loved every mile. I am literally trying to find any reason at all to hop inside of it. I didn’t feel that way about my past X3 or RZR Turbo. Not even in the same class obviously. Thanks for the video sir!
