Gorilla tape is awesome! I had an axle brake on my Pioneer 500 out on the trail during a three day stay riding Hatfield-McCoy and had to remove it to make it back to the campground. I didn't want to ride back with an open hole into the diff so I plugged the hole with a Gatorade cap then taped the crap out of it with gorilla tape. I wasn't able to get a new axle to after when I had to leave for home so I rode two and a half more days at Hatfield-McCoy with my diff taped shut. Got home, took off the tape, and not a bit of dirt or mud got into my diff! I never ride anywhere without a roll of Gorilla in my tool kit...lol.

[@SXSBlog]

Legendary lol

Another great video! Surprised you guys don’t have more subscribers then you already have, what’s wrong with people, heaps of contents here!

No worries Brett! We don't advertise the channel and we let it grow organically so we get quality subs only. Thanks for watching! :)

[@erikjeffery5202]

Love the event posts, but their is just something about the garage videos that had me hooked. Keep it up fellas.

[@TALENTLESSOFFROAD]

I hope the river freezes up. That river ride video looked like way to much fun.

Thanks for the quick mention of are oil drain pan. Much appreciated. How you enjoy your clean oil changes.

[@justinvance2296]

Your channel is great guys! I don't have a SXS but might have to be my next "toy" purchase. Honestly my first channel i have ever subscribed to. Thanks for the down to earth real videos.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks for the support Justin!

[@ROTAXD]

For added sealing, I'd spray the outside of the case where the screws/nuts are with some flex seal or the like. Gotta remember, that metallic liner & the plastic housing are going to expand/contract at different rates & cause the screws to move during each heat cycle. Better to goop the outside of the case up & keep her dry than turning the drive pump into a wannabe impeller when the case leaks.

[@oscarfernandez2028]

Anybody else disappointed the video didn’t end with the 1 tire burnout or just me? But seriously love the vids!

[@davidgustin1850]

Great video, Thanks for the Tex Plex Park mentions. The park has already had several changes and updates with even more for 2019. Hopefully you can make it down for a tour of Texas again. East Texas Mud Parks, Tex Plex and Cross Bar Ranch are all close to the Metroplex area.

[@bitsiphon]

You should check the other portals while you have it down.

[@benjaminsztankovics3418]

Love the flashbacks! Once trimmed, Leonardo must be able to throw these video's together in his sleep. Fun stuff, Liked!

[@SXSBlog]

Takes a little longer than you'd think but garage videos are typically much easier.

[@mrtosh]

Great vid as usual! Change out the secondary bolt when you remove the secondary though. Its TTY. Cab also put a penny or a quarter between the clutch spreader took and the face of the secondary. Saves it from chewing the face up.

[@SXSBlog]

It's seriously tty? We've had the secondary off like 10 times lol

[@mrtosh]

@@SXSBlog lol yessir! I'm sure it's fine😂

[@edwardcullen5705]

I see alot of comments but I was the first thumbs up. Another excellent video guys. Thanks for letting us hangout with you guys.

[@McDoobles]

When the opening shot is a pan of 3 hot and sweaties and a bag of crazy bread... good supper boys. I’m sure there was some more “muddy in the hole”. I use the same husky box, except the shorter version. She fits great in the Rzr bed.

[@780Aleks-AB]

I guess next time you know to pull someone out with the winch hehe. Also if their really stuck just use a snatch block to double up the pulling power. Even though it was just a repair video it was still great to watch keep it up guys!

[@MrMoronification]

Wow, talk about getting in a fight and having your TEETH knocked out! Carnage video!! Good job guys!

[@benjaminsztankovics3418]

I know that Doug (I think) for a career does like mechanic stuff but if you guys can bare with me here I have no idea how you guys (or other similar guys on youtube) just know so much about parts and how to do everything with these units. its incredible that its like a piece of cake in front of you to work on but for anyone else it could be like rocket science

[@markbekkers8364]

I would of never seen the inside of carnage without you guys so I thank you.

[@markursich3305]

Hillarious buds, I literally just bought the exact same Husky tool box for my RC. Fits perfect. I like the LED idea though. I might do that.

[@yfz450ccse]

We love yalls videos! My group and I have been talking about starting a blog as well.

[@brandonschultz2893]

I miss the old videos like this in the battlefield garage and Leo getting his hands dirty.

[@PolarisEricson]

You've got to be fricken kidding meeee. The boys posted a new video

[@nicknolan2152]

You all should post those times that are on the garage door to the blog

[@woofersd2383]

Did you guys discover the issue of WHY? Was there sand in the oil/grease? Water? What took the bearings out? Which probably caused the failure. Just a guess on my part. Maybe when you put this back together, run a thin layer of RTV around the seam? (Front cover to the portal)

[@SXSBlog]

Bearings are ok actually. Possibly a heat treat issue on the gears that made them too brittle?

[@EnabledShooter]

I know you guys already bought boxes for tools and gear. I thought I would share with you what I did. I bolted a truck box on the front of my trailer. I store tools, riding gear and spare parts in it. It's nice that it's lockable for security.

[@SXSBlog]

Yeah, we looked at that option but unfortunately we don't have any extra deck space and the ramps mount on the tongue, so it quickly became too much of a hassle to fit anything up there, lol

[@EnabledShooter]

​@@SXSBlog I thought that might've been the case for you guys. I have 27' trailer and only pull 2 SxS's so it worked for me. You guys should consider doing a video on the items and tools you carry with you. I've seen many lists of recommended items and It can be very helpful for newcomers to the sport. Wait, what am I thinking? You are SXSBlog, of course you've considered this. Thanks again for sharing...👍

Ya haven’t checked there yet. Did call a couple selling one and tried giving $50 with the new cover I got but I guess the dealers didn’t want a free $50

[@japhethwar]

Super atv portals are lifetime warranty aren't they, don't you just send them back and they give you new ones?

[@nathonsmithson3024]

i dont think the portals are part of there lifetime warranty however they are really good about making things right. with this little abuse i believe they would chalk it up as manufactured failure. from what i hear satvs gen 2 portals hold up really well. i would say highlifter will take care of them. they have definitely not abused them enough for catostrofically failing like this. fyi. you have to change fluids way more often when you submerge. water is way thinner than oil.

[@A11ium]

But these are not SuperATV?

[@showtimespeedshop]

Love your videos. Curious what you guys do for day jobs as I know you aren’t full time yet. I know sous’ career. But would love to learn more of the life and times of you three and what you do to support the habit. And where you came from ATVs world wise as i know you used to have banshees and sleds. The newer subs might like to know more too.

[@SXSBlog]

TRU! Dougs an engineer, Leonardo works at a chemical plant, and Sous owns a liquor store. WOOWOO

[@toddsmith4704]

You wouldn't have to screw it if you used 5200 marine adhesive . add he 5200 and clamp it in place for 24hrs and you would be set . It would work for putting air intake back together as well .

[@SXSBlog]

Im googling this shit lol

[@baddazzriderturner3321]
