Offroad Side by Sides
« on: January 13, 2015, 12:36:45 PM »
I saw a FB posting for a Polaris RZR.  I've never looked at them so pulled up the web site.  HOLY SHIT!  Do people really spend that much for these things?  What are the capabilities?

You can buy a nice used jeep for the price of one of those new.

A REALLY nice used Jeep.

They look fragile.

A lot of guys on hardline will trade you one for a 4x4.  Great for fan work and hunting and racing but not what we do. IMHO

You haven't seen how popular these things are? Lol

I think having a gayzr would be fun, but I wouldn't buy one or get rid of my Jeep for one.

I have seen them go up tee pee. Seen them go up Los primos. They are pretty capable actually. Some people even rebuild them to race in the Baja 1000.

I know. I did!
RZRs are great, but they won't get you to the trail, can't shut the doors and turn on the heat (without spending a lot more money), don't hold their resale, etc...etc...

Plus factor is good power to weight ratio and maneuverability; minus is small tires and short wheelbase.

I think you could have a lot of fun in one built right for crawling, but as said they are pricey.

I figure when I'm too old to drag myself into the buggy I might get one since the doors are low.   //OLDSKOOL//

They are good for going fast through the trails. I would rather have one than have a 4 wheeler. Better seating for sure.
