i'm running with a heavy glass Rangerwear windshield on my Ranger XP.  the biggest drawback is that it sucks all the dust into the cab.   i'm just a big dust ball after riding.   it's nice to have when it's raining.....or if it's cold.

btw....i also have a plastic roof.   it's nice having shade in the desert sun when stopping for a break.

although i'm severely "mechanically challenged" i carry a plastic 28 qt. bin with a locking lid (purchased from the `mart for $28) with enough tools to change my belt.  i'm never riding without my vicegrips, duct tape, beer  (oops, i mean water), and portable air pump at the very least.

w-a-u-g-h-h-hhhhhhhh

been followin this thread daily from internet cafe`s.   now in London but still wishing i was in Moab!!!!   have fun kids!!!!

you playing in Little Sahara?   the place oughta be hoppin` this weekend....   i'm tossin the idea around in my head to go down to play.  the weather will be perfect and there's got to be lots of moisture in the sand now.   our sod is still soggy from the 8 inches of snow that fell last weekend.

so......

here's another little twist for you.   The street legal issues is causing confusion at DMV and for us as well.   Yesterday, i was at the DMV in Farmington getting my Ranger's title and asked the clerk if they had the plates yet for the atv's.   She said they didn't have them yet.  (Now get this)  She then informed me that i wouldn't be able to get plates because "You can't ride on any street in Davis County."   She said that only those that reside in the villages/towns that allow them to be driven on the streets will be issued them.

Of course i was getting a bit hot under the collar because of her total lack of knowledge.   So i said to her that i wanted to be able to ride it in areas that did allow it on the streets.   Marysville.....for instance or further south in Hurricane.  Anyways, i'm guessing that i will look for another DMV that hopefully is up to speed with the issues in relationship to side x sides being street legal.

as a newcomer, i've had to adjust to a lot of quirks here.   but the idea of only allowing residents to license them where its legal to ride is soooooo anal.....

grrrrrrrrrr

btw......how many hours/miles you got on this?   can't have much/many with the amount of time spent dressin it up!  i like the way you extended your rear bumpers too.  looks like nerf bars for your box.    maybe you oughta apply for a job at Polaris to become a design engineer.   they surely could use your ingenuity:)

you'd be a bit surprised to see what riding i do these days.  the first UTV rally, i didn't know a dam thing about these toys.  my sphincter doesn't get so tight as it did then on the easy trails.  i bought a helmet too....and although my fear of heights still remains, as long as i can use a rope/cable hold for safety if there's a 50/50 chance of flipping backwards, i'm good for the ride.   it took a while!!!  you kids had atv's to ride beforehand and although i'm still fairly new to this sport, eventually i will have your skills too.
