It might be mud packed in the mic holes.

The 360 wasn't muffled like the 12, it just has zero audio for those 2 files. Really weird.

It was my first time there, so I'm not sure.

@@Sabretoothkiller won’t do that again 🤣

That's a question for @Sabretoothkiller (below). I didn't get to go on the Cabwaylingo trip. We were supposed to go in August with a larger group this time. Some camping others in AirBnB. But the AirBnB reservation went sideways and we all changed to RideRoyalBlue at the last minute. We're definitely going back for another attempt. We've been to RockHouse & Devil's Anse so far, can't wait to ride the rest of H&M (probably early 2025).

I had to go back and look :) but according to Polaris Ride Command, it's Ivydell. What was it like at WindRock in a hurricane? Did anyone sustain any damage because of it?

⁠@@OffroadVeterans-fk4puno damaged just downed trees fig and a crapload of rain

Fog

Yep, it's still funny!! 🤣

That's another good idea. Where is Glamis?

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu southern California desert where they hold camp rzr

I always just heard of the gas and lighter trick. The ratchet strap and winch ideas were new to me until this day. That's why I prefer to ride with a group. There is always someone with a different, and often better ideas than what I come up with.

The easiest way (currently) is to email us at [email protected]. I'm very close to releasing (beta testing) our web application that I'm developing. With that, you will be able to be a member of ride groups, access event (ride) calendars, etc.

Yep, that was the original plan. Then Dink, the big guy, said we could do this.

@@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu always good to learn new ways to do sh*t...

@@Sabretoothkiller yep. That event caused me buy them for the RZaRd!

im sure they picked it up karen. we throw shit at each other all the time just so the other guy has to pick it up. most the time they catch back up and throw it back as they pass. lighten up. i would bet a group like this leaves with more trash than they brought

@@drewhinkle6310always

😂 no, it was pure shit…and smelled like a hot outhouse in the summer sun

We've only recently started going there. We used to take our Jeeps to the other side off of exit 49 back in the day, before they closed it off. When did Wildcat open up?

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu wildcat been open for years now. I miss the old Livingston trails. I ran rail buggies, 4 wheelers there every weekend. My kids were looking through old photo albums of pictures I have from Livingston. I wonder what it looks like back in there now.

@@Ky_fireman128 Livingston killed my previous offroading life (Memorial Day weekend 2004). I launched my Jeep into that pond, where everyone sits around watching for people to go in it. I had 6.5" lift, lockers, boggers, etc. went through it like 5 times in a row. I was proud of myself lol. I pulled next to our group and dared the rest of them to go in, but they only had Suzuki Samurais and rail buggies, They normally go places that I can't and give me crap for it (all in good fun). This was the first time, I got to give it back to them. Then I noticed 10 minutes later, there was still water pouring out of the Jeep. Apparently, when I hit the water, I pushed the bottom of the radiator back into the fan and sliced it open. To make it worse, I sucked water into the engine and killed it. I do miss Livingston, it was fun going there. I've got some videos of it on my old 8mm camcorder lol. hmmm, I need to see if it still works.

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu I have pictures of some jeeps from down there. One may be yours lol. I used to run a YJ. I miss heat and real articulation but I'm enjoying my SXS. We have my wife's TJ built pretty good. She takes it to wildcat. I've gotten to the point I like to sit back and cruise around. 3 little ones in the back seat I don't tackle nasty trails anymore lol.

@@Ky_fireman128 I had a dark purple 94 YJ, my wife had a black 91 YJ. Always wanted a TJ, especially when the Rubicon came out. But yeah, I won't go back now that we've got SXSs.

yep and Lucas went in there twice lol. Gross!

It smells like an outhouse

@@Rogue308 💩🤮

yeah it is. It's just thin water on top, then just below it gets really thick. That 800 had to be pulled out twice.

@@JoellaMullins , Kentucky and Tennessee

With a little West Virginia mixed in

Yes, definitely. We've got some cold weather WV trips coming up.

@@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu Hi, thank you for your kind reply, may I get your con tact info

@@StarknightMT_official [email protected]

@@StarknightMT_official did you send me an email yet?

Does anyone make cab encloser or upper doors for Polaris RS1? Custom?

Crap, I wish I would've known. Would've went!

Damn You!! lol

100% lol

The White Lion it was unintentional… lol

Check this one out kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXfIZJV4actmrJo it was from 2021

That was the 1st time I heard it. It has something to do with the Front diff. lock, I think. It bothered me the whole time.

Yep. He upgraded a XP 1000 finally. We were just back there at this exact trail (yesterday's video), and we all had to go around it. It's a swimming pool now with a couple trees in it to boot.

There is a walk around of my old 800…I detail what I did to it… They are really good…they will go almost anywhere the big boys go…

Exactly!!

Your right, literally everything squeaks.on this X3. I got it new and it squeaked from day 1. Granted it was a 2023 leftover that i bought in May 2024, but still it was a $30k SXS (MSRP, I only paid $24.5k). For that kind of money, it should've been better than my $17k Polaris RZR XP 1000. The RZR doesn't squeak and is easier to drive. I literally only bought it because it looks like the center of gravity is lower, which I like.

We were supposed to be going to Cabwaylingo, but something happened with our lodging, so we had to bail. We changed to Ride Royal Blue as the contingency.

Ahhhh good call! I'll do that tomorrow, when we're at Ride Royal Blue. I hope that solves it, it's aggravating.

Hell yeah you did! Man you are fearless! I wish we could've got a better camera shot of it. Your front wheels were waaaay off of the ground! I kept thinking I was going to flip over backwards, and kept backing off at the top.

Thank you so much! Gilbert, was a better souvenir than I took home. I just got a hoodie and stickers :). Do you always stay out in Gilbert? Is that the best place to go? We didn't care too much for the place we stayed, mainly because of the lack of parking. The house was fine though.

We definitely like Rush. We've been there more than the other parks. I've had season passes the last 2 years on the RZR. Well, it's almost time for the 2025 season pass. Everyone that we've met there is just super nice and helpful. We usually stop at Smokin Js or the Mexican place (I can't remember the name off it) before heading home.

That's an interesting idea. Hadn't thought of that. I need to do that to my wife's Nissan too!

@@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2rXnnV_atVpaacsi=Xzk0YH_e957Vye1I Hard to reach but it helped mine,don't know if you have the same setup

I learn something new every time I create one.

I've already had to WD40 the doors. That gets annoying quickly. Do you have cup holders somewhere else besides where your elbow is? Mine might as well be a coffee pot. You put a beer in there, and it's boiling in a short amount of time.

Why haven't we been there yet? All my barrels are cold!!

Wow that's crazy! Small world. Even smaller offroad world. How often to you ride Wildcat? We're heading to Ride Royal Blue 3rd-6th October, but the last 4 trips for me have been to Wildcat. Twice with the X3 and twice with the RZR. You've talked me into the portals for mine. After putting the 32"'s on the XP 1000, it needs them.

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu I know it's a small world for sure. We have been to Wildcat twice this year. It's really close so we go for day trips. I'll have to check our schedule, and maybe we can meet up at Royal Blue and do some riding together. I'm sorry I talked you into spending a lot of money, lol.

Thanks! Which one do you recommend?

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu I should have shown you the one I have on my machine yesterday. It was also really nice to meet all of you guys.

@@hellrzr_6158 Definitely nice meeting you as well, hope to see you again. I forgot to ask, how wide is your HellRZR now with the portals?

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu I'll have to measure it tonight when I get home, but I know the portals add 8in to the width

Where's ypk motorsports?

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu there are a couple of them. Jackson ky, hazard ky.

@@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu I live in montgomery county

It's much smaller, not a lot of technical obstacles. They keep expanding it, which is good. They typically have the grills going so you can get a good meal while your there.

@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu good deal. Sounds like it's worth at least a day trip. Appreciate the response.

Absolutely. On this particular ride, I got invited to go by a guy that lives close to me, so I jumped at the opportunity since this would be my first trip to Wildcat. James (in the Dukes of Hazzard X3) and I were the only veterans, but I didn't know James before this day. On all of our other rides we've got GMRS radios and convoy discipline lol. I know to mention it now, if I'm the only veteran in the group. Lesson Learned!

Wow that's nuts!! We normally ride on Saturdays, so we would've been there too. One of the guys had to work on Saturday so we pushed it back to Sunday.

I bet you were surprised when you got home!😬

@@OffroadVeterans-fk4pu man we stoped to eat and saw it on our phones and damn near died the fool had to been getting close when we went buy thank you to Jesus we went unscaved and are home safe,on a lighter note heading to silver lake to ride the dunes this Saturday going to spend 3 days so this should be an epic trip

I literally started building the web application this week. My wife just lost her job, so we're going to leverage her new found free-time to kick this merch thing off. I have a couple other web applications that we were privately using (e.g. SXS Index), but I'm building it all under one application (coming soon to offroadveterans.com) so we can have a place to go to coordinate with others to join us on the trips, sell the merch, reviews of off-road parks, virtual garage to keep track of your upgrades/mods, chat with others about what works and what doesn't with folks driving the same machine, etc. We're making another order for coozies, stickers, and shirts. I'll make sure order some 4x shirts. I'm not anticipating this taking too long since we're heading to Ride Royal Blue on 03-06 October, and we want to have merch available then.
