I currently live in Rapid City and been in the Hills better part of 30 years. Lots of riding options, and there are trails open year around as well! About the trails.. 50" only is pretty rare in the hills, well the South Dakota part anyway. Most are on the Wyoming side, 62" is the norm. We are always looking to ride so anyone's welcome to join!

FF. Our Renegade is a 800R XXC, It came with the fox shocks. Huge upgrade from the kawi Brute, but complete overkill for her riding style. We have tons of rocky trails and that thing eats them up, and another reason why I love my 700xx. That quad can really manage the rough stuff and some asked if it was a 4x4. As for the fox shocks I have seen them on ebay every now and then and other inferior forums for decent prices. Fox worth it? I'd absolutely buy them for another quad.

The wife fell in love with her can am. We got her a 2013 renegade 800r xxc and the fox suspension made a world of difference for her from her old quad (brute force). She loves to rub in the fact that shes got power steering, selectable 4wd, a winch, snow plow, those fox shocks, automatic and that her quad towers over my "little" Honda 700xx. She wants to put a rack on it and a rear trunk. She's turned her sport quad into a utility atv. Lol, told her she can carry fuel for me then! Having a quality suspension has made a huge difference for her, she rides a lot longer and said she enjoys our outing a whole lot more. I asked if she wanted a 2up (like yours) and said that I'd be riding in the back... so I guess I'm keeping my Honda 🙂

Great pics! Nice toys too!

I only use mine for bike or quad parts so I got a cheap 10l one off amazon for about $140. Works perfectly for my needs. Its been doing the job now for 5 or so years and still going strong

I order 96% of all the oem parts I buy from them. The other 4%? Those parts are either not made anymore or some of the few they don't have access to. Adding up the order history through them totals over $4k... over 6 years. I've never had a single problem with them and play to buy much more. If there was an issue is if you are use to overnight or 2 day shipping you will be disappointed. Think old school shipping. Not terrible, just slow. As for an ultrasonic cleaner for carbs.. they are amazing! And as for solution? Try good old fashioned pine sol. The original, not the enhanced with anything kind. But don't let it soak for any longer than 24 hours and rince thoroughly to remove any extra sol. Works amazing in an ultrasonic tub. Just be sure to remove any diaphragm or o-rings and hoses. Btw, after a water rinse dry thoroughly and spray any screws or other metal bits with some wd-40 or oil base to keep them from rusting. See pic. Bought this carb from ebay. Looked like it sat in a grove for 10 years full of rotten gas. Choke would even move. That pic was after 17 hours in pine sol in a ultrasonic cleaner. No brushes or anything was used. Wish I'd taken a pic of the before but I wanted to see what rusted. Took it all apart and threw it all in the soup (minus rubber parts of course). Normally I wouldn't wash all the screws and what not like this but I was curious.

you need to start a thread just for the rides there, they look great!! I've never been but I've always wanted to go up that way.

Oh my goodness, that looks like months of fun!

I've decided to get another Montana. Going with the 680t again, that thing was amazing! This time I won't leave it on the bike when I pay for gas. 🙄 The display is plenty bright enough for me and its large enough to see when I'm sitting in the saddle. So off to amazon to order another!

Endomondo huh? I'm going tho check that one out!

I have a few chunks of broken synthetic rope so I just take about a foot and a half to start around the spool and the other end run through a loop on the strap and either tape it or I prefer to just put it back around the spool, it just pulls the strap around as you bump the spool. I'll try to get some pictures but it's pretty easy to figure out. I just prefer the strap over the regular synthetic line so I can save wear and tear on a good line and the strap pulls the plow up more evenly

My .02 I always run a roller fairlead, as others have said the hawse just generates too much heat. For my plow I always switch out my synthetic and use and old 2" flat tie down strap. The thing has lasted years with no signs of wear. It's just long enough to raise and lower the plow so doesn't bind up on the drum at all. And I've gone through 3 warn atv winches over the years. All on one machine. Have 4 years on my newest winch and it's a Superwinch, I couldn't be happier
