[QUOTE="creepycrawly, post: 548837, member: 9808"] So here are my thoughts. I'll try to keep this concise, but it will likely be a book. In no particular order... I own both a Jeep and a RZR and the latter has definitely seen more trail time lately due to convenience. With that being said, consider a few of these things. I bought my rzr brand new. It doesn't have a fancy light bar or loud music (or any music for that matter), or wake the dead loud exhaust on it. I put harnesses in it, a cage on it and skid plates under it. Other than that, it's stock. I've put 250 miles on it between Hot springs, Choccolocco and Morris Mountain. Haven't broken anything. If I do, it has a warranty. In fact, I haven't turned a wrench on it. I paid the dealership to do the break in service to keep the warranty intact. Other than that, gas and go. Yes, there were a ton of rzrs (including mine) at RBD. It is advertised as the "biggest wheeling party of the year". You didn't really think that was the weekend to go trail ride and not have a crowd did you? Would anyone complain if there were as many showtime 2.0 buggies as there were rzrs? Nope. So other than the $$, what's the difference? Yes, some rzrs haul ass down the trails. I absolutely do when there aren't crowds of pedestrians. Did you see the bouncers on primos or RBD? Yes, they were hauling ass too. I know those are obstacles, but the trails are obstacles too. Everyone paid the same price for admission. Wheel where you choose to. I'll do the same. Yes, tons of rzrs seem to park in the middle of the forking trail...you can't fix stupid. Don't do this, regardless of what you drive. Yes, the rainbow lighted whips and stuff are gay as aids. But, it doesn't hurt me. Don't go putting your mouth all over it and it probably won't hurt you either. Yes, rzrs are keeping the fabricators in work.
