lucky you. i want a wife like that when i get older.

 

 

thank god its not the renegade 800. they are extremely ugly. im not a can-am fan, im really good freinds with the people at my local Can-Am/Suzuki dealer and there are nearly new outlanders and renegades in there all the time for service. those rotax engines have an awesome sounds though, sound like a V8

 

but i can't argue that the Can-Am's are the best performing... i wish Suzuki/Honda/Yamaha would come out with something to compare to it, they all new bigger engines and maybe some nifty gadgets like the can-am to compete. but not with a near $10,000 price tag like the Can-Am

Sick machine.... I had a 2008 800 in camo, the gorilla rad relocate is a must on these machines! ....... Let me know if you are interested in some skid plates for it if you don't have them already, I have the number for a guy that makes some thick ass aluminum full skids and cv covers!

awesome. that came out the year after i got my mud pro- otherwise i would have gotten that one (since it comes with the radiator racked- i had to rack mine myself). congratulations, now you need to get it dirty!

 

im curious how the silverbacks hold up though. i know theyre amazing in mud, but hows the trail?

Yea she is a keeper, and I think the wife can stay around to.lol It is not the XMR it's the outlander 800r XT single seater with XMR snorkles and radiator kit installed extra, 1.5 front lift, back shocks just tightened up, ss212 14"rims with 30x9x14 silverbacks. The tires pull great in the mud but they will dig you a grave, on the trail they do good but on a road 40-50 MPH they have some wobble to them, wish I had the wides in the back but thats alright. It has been dirty but I keep it clean, had it up over the seat last weekend dose realy good. I've had a lot of atv's and this one is top of the line, I thought it was to much to pay for one but hell the price of the others compared to this one, lil more money = more 4wheeler and I love it.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
