The fender flares are from Mud Busters and I love them. They stop so much mud and water from getting tossed in the side of the RZR. I did an install video a while back and they are a breeze to install. (czcams.com/video/YVqL0kJa7qI/video.html) I still need to get a rear window to help with the dust swirling in. It's basically next on my list but I haven't picked one up yet. The fender flares don't have any impact on that though.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors perfect thank you. Do you still get tons of dust in I have front back window still piles in I’m thinking it’s from need those mud flaps anything would help thanks buddy

@MANIACAL604 Yeah I get loads of dust swirling in without the rear window. I know a few people who saw a big improvement with the dust after adding the rear window.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors I do have the front glass and back plastic window dust still comes in just got told from my buddy to get there check them out

@MANIACAL604 Ah, I get it now. If you get some flares let me know if they help out.

Sweet. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors thanks buddy. Have u had any issues just used it once so far heading out Tom again deff a fun machine

The only issue was a faulty switch that detected both the brake and the accelerator being pressed at the same time. It caused the machine to power down and threw an error code. I can’t remember exactly what it was. The dealer fixed it no charge. Other than that it’s been clear sailing.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors perfect thanks buddy appreciate it god bless and have a good summer

I have an automotive axle strap through the rim and a 3,000 pound strap to the trailer.

We set off from the pulp mill and it was near the end of a loop by the Fire Tower and Copper Lake. I don't remember the exact location as it was my first ride in the area but it would be a little West and North of the pulp mill. I was with the Kootenay Rockies ATV Club and sometimes they'll post full GPS routes on their Facebook page.

I love these fender flares. I did a full install video if you're into that (czcams.com/video/YVqL0kJa7qI/video.html). They're made by Mud Busters (mud-busters.com).

Yeah, it happens.

That RZR is a 60 inch 2023 Trail S Ultimate. The truck is a fairly new Dodge Ram, not sure of the exact year. Good bed measurements will be your friend.

I can't speak to that. I've never felt like the Trail S was anywhere close to flipping over. It always feels very stable to me.

It's the High Coverage Bumper from Polaris.

They are Mad-Ramps and you can find more information at madramps dot com. The tailgate doesn't actually support the weight of the machine. It sits on the ramps with the wheels pressed against the end of the tailgate. I have another video releasing tomorrow that's taken from the side which will show this a little better. The truck is a relatively new Ram but I don't know the exact year. You can hear the tires rub right at the tailgate where it's a bit narrower than the rest of the bed. PS: I like your RZR videos. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do.

No, it does not have a turf mode. The spot where I usually load/unload get pretty chewed up on the regular. In addition, I have driven it into the yard a couple of times and tried to to take long wide turns but I still tore up a few places. I'm not sure how it would compare to your current machine though.

I've thought about it, even tried it a couple times, but didn't sort anything I liked. Speed was not the goal on that evening. I was just out for cruise to end the day.

Now that would be a really cool trick.

I've thought about mounting through a coffee cup or pop can and things like that. I haven't tried though. It makes me wonder if having more moving bits at the hand would cause the AI some hassle. I have stuck it out under the armpit while drinking a soda with the close hand.

I totally agree, that definitely wasn't my best decision of the day. Thanks for pointing it out. I tried a few locations but went with that as my least bad option. It was definitely safety third that morning. Taking this shovel was a last minute addition. I tried to mount it out back but couldn't get it secured. I settled on the passenger handle since nobody was sitting there. I initially had it strapped spade down but didn't want to damage the floor so I settled with spade up. The group requested extra shovels that day anticipating a lot of slide debris on the trails. I keep a small collapsable shovel in the back, but figured a full size shovel would be better on my back if we wound up digging a lot.

I didn't want to be a Karen lol, l know there's a lot time spent editing and recording your adventures, only to have someone be negative. That was not my intention. Love your install vids and your adventures. Hopefully you'll be posting another video soon now that spring is around the corner here in 🇨🇦. Here in the Maritime's we are starting to get alot of days that are in the single digits above zero now. Happy trailing Sir

No worries, your comment was taken in the spirit it was given. I'm actually near the end of editing a ride from last fall. It should have been done a long time ago but I kind of went flat over the winter. I also have a few interesting bits that didn't make it into a video so I may get a few Shorts put together. Time will tell. Glad to have you around.

Yeah, I kind of fell flat on my face over winter. I have one video mostly rough edited but it still has a fair bit to go. Lots of ideas for next season though, can't wait to get the RZR back on the trail.

Yep, no disagreement from me. This was just a chance to head out for a quick spin in the RZR after dinner in the middle of the week.

Sweet! Glad to have you around. I forgot to record my odometer before winter but I did about 1,000k my first season and likely about the same this season.

PS: That's a nice looking photo of your RZR. Good stuff.

I've climbed some pretty steep hills without any trouble. It would always depend on the hill I suppose. Lately I've been running tire pressures of 12 lbs front and 14 lbs rear and I get a loads of traction with the stock tires.

On a related note. The Trail S Ultimate has very good hill descent control. It will keep your speed as low as it can with minimal brakes and sometimes no brakes. I've been impressed by it.

No, there are no selectable drive modes on the Trail S Ultimate. You can choose 2WD or 4WD and then decide whether you're going to smash the pedal to the floor or take it easy.

Yeah, I tend to skim instructions. Overall the install is easy to figure out.

Funny enough, I did exactly that as a back up when I came home Sunday. Even funnier (sort of), I went for a ride Monday to make up for the missed ride and forgot the keys again. Luckily the back ups saved me this time.

Glad you liked it. You'll likely find a place to drop in wherever you camp. There's a good spot on the East side of the bridge. It's typically too shallow for power boats and you'll see a bunch of paddlers most days. Way down South by Sandy Shores Beach is a good place too. The East side of the lake has shade in the morning and the West side of the lake has shade in the evening. Either way you'll likely want to stay away from the middle of the lake when all the power boats are pedal to the metal.

Thanks for the tip. I think they look great and I'm looking forward splashing around and giving them a good workout.

Good to know. I'll run it like this for a bit and seen how everything shakes out. It's easy enough to put on more washers if I need them.

Nice, sounds like a good setup. I also have a full and a half windshield to swap as needed. These flares should keep the mud down which will be good.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors they help a lot, maybe not 100%, but a huge difference. You'll like them.

I'm really looking forward to testing them out with some proper splashing around.

Glad you found it useful.

Yep. It's actually fairly common around here. There's remnants of past forest fires in pretty much every area. It can be decades later and you'll still see huge numbers of dead, burned out trees towering above the newer growth.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors Cool, that’s what I like about being in the outdoors, finding old burnscars.

Agreed, I'm lucky to live here and enjoy the outdoors. The shovel was just a last minute situation and since I was alone it seemed like a good enough spot the day.

It sure is. I love it!

This is one of those times I wish photos could be added to a reply. The GoPro is mounted on the roll cage directly between the seats looking over my shoulder. The mount is called Large Tube Mount. I've been told the Jaws mount is also good and I'll likely pick it up this spring. The Insta360 is clamp mounted onto a spot behind the rear view mirror. The mount is called Smallrig Ballhead Super Clamp. It's good for clamping to almost anything then adjusting to the view you want to capture. The downside is the metal tightening arm rattles sometimes. It's completely ruined the audio on a couple videos when it was attached to the roof over my left shoulder. It will likely become used for a second camera angle when I can use the audio from a first camera.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors after I wrote my question, I saw the camera between the seats as seen from the camera taking your video. Thanks!

No worries, ask away. Even figuring out where it's mounted won't always tell you how it's mounted. Or how well it works. PS: Let me know how your camera mounts work out when you get a chance to try them.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors will do

Nice, hopefully you enjoy being on the trail as much as do. I'm no expert but I don't think there's a hard and fast rule. I tend to look at speed, RPM, and difficulty of the trail. Low gear gives me more torque and grunt on the difficult bits. The extra torque is a bit easier on the drive belt. Plus the higher RPM will help draw in fresh air to keep things cool. High gear is better for cruising along at speed when the machine isn't really being worked too hard. It won't take long to get a feel for how hard the machine is working at the various speeds. I suggest talking more experienced people on the actual trails you're riding.

Nice! I must say that I've never thought of that before and it would be a funky trick. It might actually work for getting a side view from a boat or SXS. Hmmm...

I used the internal microphone.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors Roger, thanks

Glad you liked it.

Nice! The hoodie is my only one but I'm sure their other products work equally well.

@@NorthernMapleOutdoors great one thing since you had this hoodie longer is the battery still working the same?

Yes, it seems to be about the same. However, lately I’ve only been wearing it outside for short 1 or 2 hour bursts rather than long hours in a single stretch.

Thanks! It's good to hear that you found it useful.

I'm glad you liked them. Hopefully there's something in there that you can use.
