[QUOTE="creepycrawly, post: 493283, member: 9808"] While I certainly didn't have a rig that was on par with yours, I went from a stretched TJ on 42's to a RZR. I bought the RZR then sold the jeep before I rode the rzr. I immediately realized they fit 2 different needs and accommodate 2 different riding styles. It sounds like you have the go fast covered with your current rig but you also have the ability to crawl. While you can certainly build a rzr to crawl, they don't crawl and go fast well on the same setup in my opinion. I also sold my diesel and 18' enclosed when I sold the jeep. That was a big reason I wanted to downsize. I bought a new Tacoma and a 10' open trailer to pull the rzr and they work fine so you are correct in that regard. What I found was that while the rzr is a blast to ride, it is not a replacement for a crawler so I bought a streetable TJ. I would say you will probably regret going from the buggy to the RZR, based on my experience plus what you put here. My advice would be to do one of 3 things. 1. Borrow or rent a rzr for 2 separate weekends of riding. I say 2 because they are fun for a while and the second weekend will have a little less novelty to it. 2. Buy a RZR BEFORE you start selling stuff. Ride it stock for a little while. If you don't like it, sell it and you'll take less of a loss than selling your buggy and tow setup and then trying to get into another one. 3. Find a nice used RZR and keep both. In my opinion, the turbo setup stupid HP RZRs break parts faster. There isn't the plethora of aftermarket support for them like there is for buggies. Axles can be had but it moves the weak link to the diff or trans. Not a ton of support there that I am aware of. Just my .02. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
