Hawk Pride 2/2020 Day 1 Part 3 (Not a Good Start- Merlin Trail)

[@outdoorzone]

Hey guys just a tool tip I’ve found that this might help in the future....it’s the Colby emergency tire valve kit! It allows you to replace a damage tire valve without removing the tire!!! It’s a great piece of kit to have!! It could save the day!!! Anyway thanks for the great vids! I love that you notate who’s the POV when playing your vids!!!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Cool. I will have to look into that.

[@outdoorzone]

@@SouthernLandRiders if you conceal carry look into this video I made ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKoXqaPdrBoba8

[@ROCKINRODNEY]

Wow, what a rock garden.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

It was a good one! We went back the last day and finished it though.

[@stuwalton1384]

Great Stuff!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Thanks!

[@benjaminmize7841]

Rough looking trail!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Looking forward to doing it again. Hopefully you will be there next time!

[@IxKLOWN]

I’m going to ignore what you said at 12:28 and ask about how good those Crawler tires are?!?! Hahahaha

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Hey man those crawlers are still #1! 😂 Best tire money can buy! Don't listen to Chris.

[@IxKLOWN]

Southern Land Riders I knew when it happened that either you or Chris was going to have something to say!! But Brian came in swinging with that bypass suggestion!!!

[@charleystevens6227]

Wow that was some serious crawling. I got to give it to you guys great footage of some very technical riding. I have to agree with Chris on the Crawlers. Lol

[@briansmith8505]

@@IxKLOWN everybody gets a hard time for taking a bypass 🤣

[@IxKLOWN]

Brian Smith I know!!!! I was just sitting here at the table PRAYING he had to pull the winch!!!

[@brianmcbride99]

Do you guys disconnect front or rear sway bars at all?

[@SouthernLandRiders]

We all have taken the front sway bar off. We all kept the back one. Chris and I run the walker Evans links on the rear sway.

[@brianmcbride99]

Southern Land Riders cool are limit straps required when off?

[@SouthernLandRiders]

@@brianmcbride99 Most of us do not run them. I think Joey does and that is it.

[@brianmcbride99]

Southern Land Riders cool thanks for the info. I have a Turbo S 4 seater that I’m trying to build up. Enjoy the vids and thank you for the advice!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

You bet. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@captseamus]

What type of radio communications are you guys using? I heard some guys are using GMRS?

[@SouthernLandRiders]

We all use this one. www.sxsradios.com/products/25w-waterproof-dual-band-mobile-radio-bundle-with-ngp-antenna

[@pipelinemechanic731]

Not a trail for someone with Hemorrhoids lol . How big is this park ?

[@SouthernLandRiders]

That would be a correct statement. lol. The park is incredible. It is not huge but they have so many good, hard but doable trails in a SXS. It is a great place for people that like challenging trails.

[@Rcaceres]

How does not having a windshield work for you? Do you feel like you ever need one?

[@SouthernLandRiders]

I won't ever run a windshield. I hate having to always clean it and it makes the videos turn out pretty bad.

[@Rcaceres]

Southern Land Riders I’m going to try that I just don’t like the cold wind in my face. Might look into the rear mesh cover I heard it helps with wind coming into the cab.

[@outdoorzone]

@@SouthernLandRiders I definitely agree! A windshield is a drivers worse nightmare in most cases! I’d rather wear goggles!

[@coreyboothe2627]

Tough break in a tight spot. But I bet you think it’s still better than a “easy” day at work!! Right.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Oh without question!

[@josephlejeune1967]

Nasty trail! I feel like my highlifter would do good since it has the additional 55% gear reduction in low. I just need some tires......not the crawlers.....haha!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

Yeah a gear reduction would have been good on this one.

[@smilfenoffroad9306]

Merlin is a tight and technical trail, not the best fit for the Turbo S gearing when it's dry, let alone wet. Thankful, that's all I've ever broken on it. Thanks in part to the Full skids, Performance SXS bushings & ball joints taking a beating.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

We went back the next day and hit it again. It was one of our favorite trails there.

[@sammcgowen3611]

Already seen everyone’s rzr . I’d like to see clips of everyone’s tow rigs and trailers 👍.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

We will do a video on that at one of our up coming rides.

[@boltactionshooter]

Carry a can of starting fluid or WD 40 to seat the bead in situations like this. Driving out on a flat is pretty much always a bad idea unless it is a dire emergency as you will ruin the wheel. I run Super Swamper LTB truck tires and am the only one in our crew to never have a flat. Crawlers are great too but not as tough as the LTB swampers.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

There was no fixing this one. It was destroyed. I had 4 new wheels and tires and home and was changing them after this ride so I really wasn't worried about messing up the wheel. It was fine though. I am going to use the old 4 as spares. 33" swampers are 11 pounds heavier per tire than the crawlers. That is way too heavy of a tire for me.

Wouldn’t be an SLR video if someone wasn’t plugging Crawler tires

Shut up Jeremy.

By-pass it is!

[@russellmooney619]

I am going there next month. I have no interest in the rock trails.

[@SouthernLandRiders]

You are going to be missing out. Most of the trails there are rocky.
