What have you done to your SidexSide this week?

I have been looking for mirrors for a long time, I tried the Siezmik...truly a POS, they didn't last one ride. While surfing Ebay a few nights ago I ran across a set of Chrome Mirrors for a Sand rail, only they were for 1 1/2" bars. I started searching the sellers other items and boom there they were for 1 3/4" bars, and less than 1/2 the price of the ones UTV CRAP sells for over $300. I would bet they come from the same source as the other guys they look exactly the same. Only problem was they were Chrome, I could fix that easy enough so I placed my order....They showed up today, I am impressed they are a heavy metal casting with screw in Convex mirrors that can be replaced fairly easy.

So with a little sand paper, ebow grease and Paint I think they turned out pretty good!












The finished product...

Got mine cleaned from the Blue Holler ride a few weeks back. I hate it once the mud gets baked on from setting in the barn to long.

got my tony toys rock sliders with tree kickers put on today not as impressed with the quality as i thought. more really about the way they mounted not as secure as i thought they would be.

I got my bendix replaced and did a little driving today and no problems so far. I ordered my Super ATV S kit today with complete axles. Should be in tomorrow. Makin trax springs should be in friday if they got shipped today. Looking like I'll have a "like new" ride for spring ride.

Power washed, changed ballust for front light, put in new dc outlet old one went bad, polished the rims , hopfully UPS Man shows up tomorrow with my shocks.

Started to tear down the front end and figure out why my clutch is sounding funny but still running perfect. Also ordered my audioformz top we are gonna use it for the shop angels as well so they are giving me their one thats tricked out beyond all reason. Pretty flashy lights, built in light bar, 500 watt rock fosgate, and 4 kicker 6x9s.

Hell who cares now if im stuck or not ill be jammin my ass off!!

lubed mine up today and played around the pasture a few minutes getting ready to go to aetna this saturday if anybody wants to go.

DOG I might be up for it.....I'll let you know a little later on.

Just finished the latest additions to the Mistress....

Installed a set off Pro Armor Slam latches...I likey!

and a New Warn XT 4.0, hope I never have to install one of these again. Absolutely the worst instructions I have ever used!

got a new cvt belt cover on. ordered one for a sportsman. its half the price and has drain plug.
put my old aluminum skids on and the stock plastic skids on together. i have to get be a few longer screws and drill a few holes to finish it up but i think it will work great.

Finally got the Teryx to the dealer for a complete service. Also picked up a couple of extra air filters and filter oil. I plan on having a prepped spare filter onboard for all our lrides from now on.

Complete service= All fluids changed, new filters, inspect/adjust or replace drive belt, tune-up.They are also replacing several screws that have come loose in the last two years,including the top bolts I lost at Brimstone.

Should be ready for the next group ride, whenever that is

p.s. I sat in one of their Teryx 4's, neat doors, new parking brake (nice), very comfortable seats

he i noticed the tow rings you have on that bumper are those just trailer tie down rings? how do they work mounted to the emp like that? i guess what i mean is are they strong enough to hook a winch cable to or to be yanked on?

Yes they are Standard D rings. I got them At TSC, I had to squeese them in a bit to match the holes in the bumper. That made the rings loose and they rattled and drove me insane so I took them off and lined the inside of the bracket with 1/8" thick rubber and that eliminated the rattles...as to will they hold up to pulling...They will hold more than that POS bumper will!

thats what i was wonderin ive been debating on bumpers and i like the looks of the emp i just hear some bad stuff but then i hear good stuff about it. i want a bumper i can depend on when i hook a strap to it and and it gets the hell yanked out of it.

If I had it to do over it would not be on my machine...I will be replacing it at some point with a real Bumper...most likely a RACERTECH...

yea i have been talking to a buddy of mine quite a bit that builds roll cages and buggys about building me a bumper and i havent decided which rout i am goin to go. more than likely get him to build me one that will probably be stronger and cheaper than buying one.

Got the top on, and was ready for my parts to be here today to wrap up most of it wash it again then tinker on the diff making it perfect for this weekend..... but somehow it takes 5 days for parts to get from knoxville 2 nashville and nothing showed up today. Im not a happy camper. Its gonna be a long day wednesday.

Finished putting together my stereo setup, replaced front a-arm bushings, installed my new Twisted Stitch seats and Crow belts, and plan on installing my EMP park brake today after work. I also got to take my little ones for their first ride in the 4. My little one is only 18 months old but was in the back clapping and smiling as we cruised through the neighborhood.

Slow leak in the left rear tire that couldn't be found. So today I pulled the wheel/tire off and hauled that bad boy to town and had an inner tube put in it. Hope that is the fix.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!! To bad you couldn't get a pic of that!!!!!

Well lets see..... Played bumper cars with chip. Flipped sideways into a 4 foot deep mudhole. Broke my arm. And backed into a truck (thank god for insurance) Oh and scared the shit out of some guys with the new police lights. Tee hee Hey they did come in handy when I was hauling my buddies dirt bike to clear a path. And also used it to have a hell of a weekend with some great guys and plenty of beer n food at the best place to ride in the country. Pics to come

Matt. did you really break your arm or am I being gullible? If you did I hope it's not too bad

lol no i finally went to the hospital this morning. Got x rays and they put me in a big splint and wrapped it up but I had a shoot tonight so no cast, gotta go make some money. Got bills 2 pay, I just took a ibprofin and powered through it with the splint which ended up being a bad idea. Gotta go back in the morning for my final results and what they want to do. Its not horrible fingers still work just cant turn it good, its still swollen after it happened friday night, and there are some mysterious lumps on my forearm lol.

That swelling went down, I thought it was fine. That sucks.
