I love mine. Use it more than I do my Jeep anymore. Just a lot more places to ride them sadly.

Really? I didn't know there were still atv/sxs only parks around. But, I guess I wouldn't...

Are there enough to start a "Places to ride a side-by-side" thread? Might be nice here in the new subforum...

Ohio, maybe not so many but down here in KY there is a good selection of pay to play parks. Even more in Tenn.

Ohio has several state ATV parks but the maximum width is 50". Think this is common in other states also and why most manufacturers offer SxS models right at that width.

I would love to have a SxS but not ready to give up my fullsize trail rig yet and can't afford both. It would be a heck of a lot easier for storage and hauling around.

This is why I'm selling my rig and getting a sxs. There are atv trails everywhere. I hear the Hatfield McCoy trails are awesome. I can't wait to get one and hit Harlan and Winrock.

That is pretty much what I did. Picked up a 18.5' enclosed trailer and finished out as a toy hauler camper. Fridge, stove, sink, ****ter, 4 beds, and TV. Keep the RZR in the back, show up at Windrock or Brimstone unload and go ride.

Hope to catch you guys on the trail. However keep one thing in mind, these are no cheaper than Jeeps.

As far as width restrictions, those are usually only on state and federal trails.

It's gotta be cheaper than hauling around my full size rig. The initial cost is high, but should be cheaper to maintain and haul around than my dedicated rock crawler.

A lot of states have the 50" wide rule as more of a weight limitation to help protect the trails from premature wear and breakdown. Could be wrong but I think I remember reading that PA was one of them.

Only the government would try to limit weight in inches...

Here is a pic on my rzr 4. We mostly ride Rush Offroad, East Lynn, Wv, and hatfield Mccoys. I gave up on Wayne because of their permitting system and the 50" rule. Last i heard, wayne was going to widen their trails but only to 54".

Pros:

My wildcat 4 does great at hill climbs. Its crazy stable. I do some rock crawling. Only real drawback I see is going over a sharp hump with the length you bottom out in the center easier. I am going to make a lift for it and think that help. It really feels the same as my two seater driving so much that I kept clipping trees with the back tires turning too soon lol
