If you go with bigger tires, think about changing your drive clutch Springs and weights, Loma at Heel Clicked, been running them on my Polaris ATVs since 2004

Yeah, the prices are NUTS...I'm looking to order a PRO R in the very near future...it's literally stupid priced!
It's amazing what they can do though! Even the bone stock models climb like little billy goats! My first RZR was a 2014 Polaris 2014 RZR 800 XC - it was nothing special from a speed / hopped up machine but it was very nimble and took good direction....I remember many people *trying* to follow me up technical trails...."man, that guy is nuts!" LOL!! Yeah, I will take the LONG way to avoid mud! Climbing and trails are my thing! Also, short course racing is on my horizon....
Regarding mods - the more "stock" you can keep things the better the reliability / longevity, in my experience....once you start replacing this then that becomes a weak link and so on and so forth....a winch is definitely a very good idea! Keep on having fun!!
If I get anything, I’m almost positive it will be a Can-Am Maverick Sport. Maaaaybe the Sport RC.
I like the Polaris lockers better, but the price jump from Can-Am to Polaris seems a little crazy. The Sport RC comes with an upgraded locker similar to the Polaris setup. But apples to apples The Can-Am Mav Sport is about 6K cheaper than a comparable RZR. Main difference seems to be the locker style (Polaris lockers are instant, Can-Am needs about a full wheel turn of slip) and the maintenance is a little easier on polaris according to the internet.
The Sport RC just has some factory upgrade to make it a little better for crawling on rocks.

Stopped by a dealer today hoping to sit on one so I could compare it in person to a RZR though and look for anything to change my mind. Unsurprisingly they didn’t have any and the wait list is 2 months long. It they took me in the shop and let me look at a customer ride in for work. Getting GPS installed in the dash. I don’t know if there was any stock hardware left on it, guy said it was up to about 250HP and original cost plus mods was somewhere at or above $50K!
This is my current ride, it’s crazy fast. Only 144 HP… LOL. Jumps and handles like a dream. The new Pro R is CRAZY nuts overbuilt, on steroids…to quote my wife: “ours looks like the suspension components are sticks compared to the Pro R”….200 HP too…the downside is the OTD price is $47k….and that’s with no dealer markup…some dealers are adding to it…

My wife says if I get anything else it should be a 4 seater. Idk, they are stretched like a bus, lol.
Doesn’t matter too much. Any ATV is about as common as hens teeth right now and I won’t be making any investments until I can plant my but in them and see how they really compare. Then I gotta convince myself it’s really worth it for me. With their were more good trails or parks nearby.
That’s a nice ride.

Thank you! It’s hard to beat the nimbleness of a 2-seater but bring the family and a lot of supplies is really cool in a 4 seater. Definitely trade offs for sure! There are both 2 and 4 seat units in stock - where do you live? I’m right in the middle of DFW.

Off-roading in the SoCal deserts is one of the few things I miss.
The only SxS game in town back then was the Yamaha Rhino.
They made 24hp stock…which is what my ZTM makes LOL
My Rhino was built pretty nicely and it made all of 53hp
I will say our off-roading enjoyment took a huge turn for the better when I started modding and mobbing my trucks compared to SxS’s and quads.
Plus a day in the dirt meant my wife would burn thru half our fresh water just washing her hair LOL

Google Little Sahara State Park and you’ll be inundated with more info, pix and video than you care to read/watch . i have not been yet, someday soon. Friends have. What’s cool is that you can ride your machine from the campgrounds to the park, town etc. The town and mayor get it!

All of my ATV's were Street legal when I lived I. AZ. I could legally ride from my house across the highway in to the forest..It was nice.
I was in Phoenix on business back in April, I took some extra time and hung out with my car chief (team is based out of WI but the guys fly in from all over for races, etc) as he lives in the area - he's a desert rat! So, he got a few of his buddies with their machines (Toyota truck, Baja buggy) and we had a desert day! I rented a newish RZR XP4 Turbo out of Wickenburg, totally street legal...it was VERY cool to ride it around town and then we hit the desert - AWESOME stuff!!
As an aside, Texas has the "Off Highway Plate" and I have one on my RZR...I run it on the roads around my house every now and then...so far, no run ins with the cops....if you read the info on it: it basically says within 2 miles of your house, no roads over 45 mph, something about a golf course, etc...there's a facebook DFW UTV/SxS group where a bunch of folks have reported ZERO issues driving the OHV plated RZRs ALL over creation in the DFW area...usually in the outlying areas there....so, take that for what it's worth....there is one guy that went through a bunch of loopholes and registered his RZR in another state as a motorcycle (which you can legally do apparently) and then that made it street legal there....you then register it here in Texas using that title....and presto change....you're driving a street legal "motorcycle"....he's ridden it legally from DFW to MN and back...as in Minnesota....he's gotten stopped a few times but has the legal paperwork etc showing that he's legit...I'd love to legally be able to cruise around at will on mine!
Damn. I cringe any time my ranger tires have to touch a paved surface. Just don’t like the extra wear and hate buying tires for anything.
I live far enough down gravel roads that ATV/UTV driving is pretty much ignored. You’d have to be getting real stupid to draw enough attention that the sheriffs office would bother.

Looked in to a RZR, but with the current market and interest rates I decided I don’t have that much motivation to get one. Though resale on my Ranger is ridiculous right now. Worth more than I paid for it new.
I did finally get my back ordered winch. Went with a RoughCountry 4500lb kit. Came with all the wiring, contacts, and switch. Ground wire could have been 6” longer, and wiring from contacts to the switch were way more than needed. But overall it’s pretty good. Probably never actually need it, but nice to have.

Winches are definitely a GREAT thing...especially if you trail ride with just your rig (as opposed to a group). I highly recommend a winch accessory kit (Warn sells them, the ones I'm familiar with are for Jeeps / trucks but the same principles apply: tree saver strap, shackles, snatch block, recovery chain for hooking onto odd points etc).
