LMAO! @14:25 BattleDad loving it. Totally had "you dumb asses" written all over that grin!!

Thanks!

That sucks the driveshaft is bent. cool video tho. cant wait until u guys start puttin some parts on these new units.

[@2001wj]

i like the jack handle idea..

[@Chevra2448]

Replaced the one on my RZR with the same one last season. The stock ones are junk and have a lot of play in them. My first one was replaced under warranty and then the second one I went aftermarket. Reduces driveline clunking as well.

[@jasong712]

I knew there was a good reason why I didn’t see you at Arkansas Mud Nats. I understand. I don’t like to rush either. I was looking forward to meeting you guys. Mudnats was a great time. Come next year!

you guys do those utv's vs the world and I think u guys should do the new odes dominator vs the world

Sometimes you gotta take a step back and make shit right! Don't feel bad it's all part of the game fellas!!!! We won't hate ya for wanting to be legit,😎

[@stacyreid5077]

If y'all had went to Mud Nationals they have mechanics on duty that work for different companies and you pay them for their labor as tips because they're getting paid by companies. And I don't know about PoPos but for the CanAm Renegades and OG Mavericks and the Commanders you can replace the stock U-Joints with Suzuki Samurai one that is made by Spicer ( DANA )

[@SXSBlog]

Oh nice! Protip

[@stacyreid5077]

SXSBlog.com plus I know that when it was held in Texas HighLifter had people that were driving back and forth bringing parts. I noticed that Ostacruiser didn't make it to Mud Nationals either this year. Might I say there is a Ranger crew with lift here at our local Honda dealership I'd love to get it for the family SXS

[@nicolec7290]

Thanks for your reply

I think the super atv carrier is kinda noisy not having the rubber to isolate it..

[@mikesalois3028]

I've always subscribed to the thought that if you have to miss an engagement here and there it's because you're busy. That's a good thing. If you can wake up every day breathing, the rest is a bonus.

[@SXSBlog]

truth

[@shaunknysh2914]

Put rubber washers between the frame and the carrier bearing that way if it has play the rubber washers will act like isolators.....it will get you by for a little 😉😜😏🤣

[@apascarelliful]

Sucks bros. But you got to do what you got to do.

[@randyg4316]

Hell ya we will see ya here in Minnesota. That's awesome cant wait to meet you guys. In person

oh and i guess you havent heard all polaris driveshafts come bent and unphased. other than the crappy cam chain tensioner its the worst thing about them. fyi the u joints are not not not good either

I'm glad that happened cause now I'll see you guys in Minnesota!

That's 110 for the Battlefield RZR

Best mud tire is 589. Period they are light and have grip and do good on trails

[@michaelserant6003]

yall didn't miss much at the new location for Mud Nats in AK, new park and wasn't ready for the setup and amount of people, river run in Jackson Ville texas was the place to go where they have originally held the Mud Nats. but they had their own event which turned out great.

I kno that mud nats is over but I could have found a polaris dealer an ordered the part as u headed down there an fixed it soon as u get there

@sxsblog.com big thing with subs is that they are not thumping while underwater. Reason why all the stuff I build is all overhead. Water proof is not always water proof. Lol

Definitely going to MN mudnats this year now. Hope to run into you guys there.

Buy a tripod so you can start helping Doug instead of just watching all the time. Poor guy has to work while you just stand around talking.

[@SXSBlog]

We've done it, turns out it just changes the look of the videos too much. I like working on stuff anyways

[@nicolec7290]

The second set of tires you weighed. What are they. Please tell me the name. Thanks

[@SXSBlog]

First weighed was the cut XT300, second weighed was a stock X3 XRS wheel with a Bighorn, third weighed was a custom cut 1450 Desert Trak tire.

Just an FYI.... For tire cutting I use a brand new/very sharp wood chisel and a propane torch. With a little bit of heat it cuts like butter and of course there’s a bunch of different sizes. Keep up the good videos.

[@philipfoster373]

I would think it would be easier to check to see if that grease zerk is functional or not would be to take a grease gun and try to grease it if it will not pump in grease it is not open if it does it’s functional.

[@SXSBlog]

We did find out that it is functional!

Could you just ride around with no front drive shaft will it mess anything up

next time you need a carrier bearing for a polaris look up kb3 racing. doesn't get much better. have doug message me if he needs a deal on their stuff. also kb3 offers super tough drive shafts. best warranty.

[@nathonsmithson3024]

the super atv carrier has 2 holes in the sealed bearing and a channel in the housing going all the way around (in the billet units not sure about the cast ones)

[@moejoeryzen2983]

Except the channel in the housing doesn't line up with the channel in the bearing. So, they are right. It's useless. SuperATV knows they don't line up. They've tried re-working the design several times (unsuccessfully.)
