My new Toy

[mbogosia]

Well, the jeep is gone as of Friday. I had fun with it, but just wanted something different. Ended up getting a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. I have been riding it all weekend and this thing is a blast. I plan on still wheeling with you guys with this now. If you will allow it. :( Anyways, here are a couple pictures:

you should probably change your sig then. :confused1

[rredalty]

Atleast you're lokced in with a membership...

[mbogosia]

Sig changed biatch!

[trail rate this]

With a little fender trimming I bet you could fit 31"s.

[mbogosia]

Its got 25's. I would like to go to 27's. Might need a lift though.

[trail rate this]

Those racks would be great for carrying coolers. You can be the beer biatch.

[Mr.Shrek]

Hey you could be just like one of those carts the have at the golf course. Cigars, beer, etc.

[mbogosia]

I'll even carry tampons for you guys as well.

[mbogosia]

Oh noes. Look what I found: http://www.rubberdowncustoms.ca/polaris.html

Ugh... i cant stand pullurasses... Lol, too much plastic for me. But, to each his own. I used to have an ATV, I didn't like it, parts are through the roof, and you can't go everywhere a jeep can. I have saved a ton of money be selling the 4 wheeler and wheelin the jeep and truck.

And I don't like Toyota trucks. Pieces of junk. But to each his own.

[trail rate this]

I still say it's on craigslist within two weeks.

[mbogosia]

After I spend $1k on lift and tires of course. :)

Of course, that's usually how it works.

I'll trade you a Power Wheels yellow H2 for it.

[mbogosia]

Yeah, but I always come out on top on my trades. :)

[High2by]

I got a '87 XJ Wagoneer I'll trade ya...

[Mr.Shrek]

Wow looks like I wasn't the only one enjoying to many hurricanes that night.

[mbogosia]

Damn! How did you get that picture! I'm riding the bull. I was in a groove.

[JeepAddict85]

hahaha...classic man...classic

cant wait to see the 4wheeler in person.

you should change ur pic up there to 'Only on an ATV'

[x2elite]

I sold my quads a couple years back.... just couldn't justify the extra cost. Seemed like they never get ridden. My XJ, however, get used for everything. Best part is that for the price of a quad you could have a pretty well built XJ.

[Achmed]

[PacificEd]

Be glad they did. Those pics are scary!

[JeepAddict85]

no he traded in the old one for a new atv...i meant pics of that one...

[Mr.Shrek]

WHAT...he already got rid of the red one?

[PacificEd]

WHAT...he already got rid of the red one?

Would that really surprise you? He goes through XJ's and 4 wheelers like I drink cokes. ;)

[mbogosia]

Yeah, I am outta control. In a good way. The Polaris overheated on my second weekend so I rigged it up and traded it in. I sensed it was going to be a troublemaker and didn't want to deal with it. I got $1500 for it which was my initial(old jeep) investment value so I was fine. Picked up a brand new 2007 Honda Foreman 500 with power steering.

[PacificEd]

Are you planning on making Aetna? If so, PM me and well get a meeting time set up.

[trail rate this]

Haha! Yeah, I'll carry the coolers. When are you getting one?

[$700later]

congrats on getting a honda. i'm glad you saw how the polaris was going to turn out before it lost value. $1500 is pretty good for trade in, i have an '07 honda 420 and they say only $2000 trade in for it.

[ladywolf]

[$700later]

I will get another SUV.

And yes.

[PacificEd]

Mr. Shrek,

I think we have a bunch of quitters in here.

[trail rate this]

I love my XJ. I love to wheel it. I hate fighting the same problem for 2 months and being affraid to drive it because of that problem.

I really don't want to get rid of it. I want to drive and enjoy it. Lets have a wrench fest and fix it so I can keep it.

Sorry for the highjack.

Fixing the power steering. What ever weekend someone is available.

[Mr.Shrek]

Mr. Shrek,

I know right! I finally get my xj to a trail worthy point and people start bailing on their jeeps.

Eric start a thread listing everything out with your problem. That way everyone is on the same page and we might get the dang thing knocked out.

I give it 6 months and it will end up looking like this....

Its doing great. Went on a ride with 3 other guys on Sunday at a place called Pickett state park.(Blackhorse mtn) We did 50 miles and never saw the same spot twice. Lots of creek crossings, mud holes, and rocks. It was awesome. Did get any pics though.

[MELKORsXJ]

[mbogosia]

Couple of mods completed. LOL

You need to trim the fender.

[High2by]

Na, he just needs to bump stop it a little...

[trail rate this]

I thought this is an XJ forum not a Honda forum.

[mbogosia]

I named it LIL XJ! I think I am going to trim the fender a bit tomorrow.

[High2by]

What ya gonna use to trim with?

4 1/2" angle grinder or razor blade????








Just givin ya a hard time.

[mbogosia]

HaHa! Man I would cut my steak with the angle grinder if my wife would let me.

[trail rate this]

He'll probably use a concrete saw or a plasma cutter. Good luck.

[JeepAddict85]

Lookin good matt

[Cnickgo]

Woot for Maxxis! They have always been great tires on my bikes and XJ. Great traction/ride on my buddies tow rig, they just didn't last long enough.

You will still get wet. And now muddy.

[mbogosia]

LOL! Yeah your right Ed. I am still wanting to hook up with you guys again. I saw some of those pics from Windrock and realized I might not be able to go down every trail you guys do. Hopefully I can find my way through the woods.

[mbogosia]

Yeah, I really think I like mud. Its just fun to try to get out. The mud in that video was way lighter than I was hoping.

[Mr.Shrek]

I take it that was you in the other video where you almost got stuck in the mud? I liked that one more. Glad to see your still out on the trails.

[mbogosia]

No that wasn't me. I went through some deeper stuff, but didn't get it on tape. I really need a helmet cam or something.
