Just saw this video. You still like armor all?
@@cnetate I’ve never had an issue with it but find myself reaching for 303 more often than not. Thanks for watching!
Hi there how much $ please
@Mike Outdoors. Your large and in charge! Your laying it down! Good luck! p.s. Yapping to somebody in a video then turning comments off for that video so that person can't respond to it is small,spineless and weak! Have a little day and once again, Good luck!
@@johnathenbates2929 not sure I understand the PS part. But thanks
@@mikeoutdoors769 No, Thank you! Your response reinforces my comment! GL!
You're camping, no need to be fancy, Fancy people don't camp LOL. I am new here but I like your videos! I really like the little things you did, the little things make all the difference. You might have sold me on this, I have been looking for one with a sleeper on the inside because I plan on doing some Northern Canada Winter trips. Not to many negatives with this thing.
@@Searching-4-Paradise lol I hear you! This is normally my base camp and I’ll head into the mountains with camp on my back. I’d definitely be staying in it if I was in northern Canada though! Thanks for watching!
I haven't seen one with the pop out kitchen that's neat
Love it Slint
Did you purchase the Timbren axle from Encore? I know you did a video on swapping it out, but your suspension looks several inches higher than the Rogs with Timbrens that came factory installed. I’ve asked several dealerships but they have no clue. Plus, what wheels did you go with?
@@acudak yeah I ordered the axle from encore. This is the 4” lift option. I know encores putting a lot of none lifted ones on their factory trailers so they still fit in garages. The wheels are allied Daytonas. Thanks for the comment and I hope you consider subscribing.
Great review! Why the tire / wheel change? I’m about to purchase a unit and would like ti know the reasoning?
@@AP-zl2wq I wanted slightly taller and wider tires to fit the look of it lifted. I always change the stock tires out on my rv’s though. Typically they’re not even rated for highway speeds.
Thanks for the update!
Why’d ya change the rims and tires? Looks or are the stock that bad?
I just went ahead and spent the money and got a four pack of SC1. ITS expensie! It did look great when i put it on. I ride in some mud. It washed off pretty good but i noticed after washing, it looked just as bad as before i put the sc1 on. Then again, I use the booty juice to wash. It has degreaser in it, so maybe it washed the sc1 off? Idk. Still figuring things out. Im looking for the best and easiest way to wash and look great. I do get my four wheeler looking awesome after riding. Just looking for the best products and taking cost of product into account. I mean the SC1 is pretty pricey!
303. is great
Cool trailer! Looking to purchase 12bh in a week. What kind of keyless pad did you go with?
Carmtek on Amazon. You’ll love the bunk house
If you didnt have kids would you be happy with BH? For us no kids so we don't need the bunk beds. Would you consider 12rk over 12bh if it was just for you and wife? Looking at a 12bh
Can you tell me what brand your wheels are?
remember many of these rigs are painted plastic
Good morning. Thanks for sharing your video. Just wondering where did you purchase that metal with wind deflector on your stove? My rog is the same as yours with glass cover. For sure that will help during windy days. Thanks again and hoping to see more videos 😊
I got it from the camping world website. Search dometic 50236 drop in cook top.
Thanks for your help. About the cup holders you installed. What kind of screw did you use, and how long ?
Congrats on 1.02 subscribers 👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ROG. I'm looking at purchasing a 12RK within a month. The one the RV dealer has onsite has the torsion axle, so they are ordering /installing the Overlanding package (Timbren axle, Articulating hitch). I also want to upgrade the wheels/tires to be able to use the 33" tires I removed from my Gladiator, so I need the 17" wheels. My Gladiator has a Metalcloak 3.5" lift and is sitting on 37" Tires, so I'm hoping to get the ROG to sit higher to better match the height of the Gladiator. Thanks again for sharing, this gives me an idea of the ground clearance I will have after my upgrades. Are your rims Vision D's? What back spacing are your wheels?
That sounds awesome. The timbren suspension is worth it. I’d have to look back at my wheel paperwork. I don’t recall. I did those awhile ago.
Will that roll cage work with the roof and or front and rear windshields?
We run Honda half windshields. They work just fine. I thought krash was trying to put a list of stuff that worked together. So you might reach out to them.
We just bought one also. I’m curious where you got the screen doors from? Great suggestions for upgrades also!
We got them directly from Encore.
@@mikeoutdoors769 I just sent them a message! Thank you. We’ll be following you for more tips and tricks. Our maiden voyage is going to be next weekend. We’re in Washington State.
@@LorieB-xw3tv you’ll love it. What model did you get?
can you mount the inter cooler some where else
You could definitely make custom brackets and move it. It’s pretty darn big though. So not sure where else you could put it.
Do you recall what your top speed is in the dunes? that will help me decide how much it will improve mine
I’m wanting to say around 75. Should actually be faster in real life though since I’m running bigger tires. Haven’t done a top speed run with it though.
@mikeoutdoors769 thank you for responding. That's really good right now I'm just dyno tuned no turbo at 104hp at tires I can only get to 55 may sqeak 60 in perfect sand conditions
@@2MostlyBaldGuysKC honestly the best part about the turbo is being able to just turn up hills quickly and it just builds boost and holds the gear rather than downshifting and reving to the moon. 100% worth it for sand riding.
How’s your heater work in the winter time and does it keep you warm?
Rog is sasquatch proof??
Main reason I bought it! Not a single encounter so far.
@mikeoutdoors769 colorado is beautiful, I'm a retired truck driver, from Maine, wife is from New York, we live in Florida, we love the freedom here and our governor, not the weather or the growing population though, stay safe brother
How do I reset my live valve . I have a 23 1000rs and it's always super stiff. Idk it the system is working
I’m not sure how to reset the live valve. Sorry
My 23 with Live Valve is smooth as silk (in Normal Mode). Best go back to the dealer! Also, bump it to Sport Mode and it’s obviously stiffer. That’s how you know it’s working.
Mike, previous video on axle swap. Where did you buy the new axle. Thanks keep up the great videoes
I bought the axle straight from Encore
Does the kraft werks turbo void the honda warranty
Chemical Guys tire shine works good.
Did u guys adjust the suspension or are there trails for machines over 64 inches wide?
Hey man nice just being out from the house and enjoy the scenery with the kids. How is the Rog. I just bought a Braxton creek bushwhacker It’s nice but didn’t know it compares to the ROG
The Polaris owners manual suggests furniture polish as an alternative.
Interesting, thanks for letting us know!
Sorry Mike the ROG
Hey Mike, Do you think my new Tacoma TRD 6cy could handle this trailer?
Oh yeah, you should be more than okay
Great video. Thanks for making it. I'm going to try the Armor All.
What size Loc N Roll trail side coupler did you get. The tongue on my ROG measures 2 1/4”. Also how much drop on your Jeep side.
I’m pretty sure it was the 506 for the trailer side. I had it pretty level on the jeep. I didn’t have it lowered at all after the trailer was lifted
How do you like the lift? I watched the video. Looks nice. I drive a Jeep Gladiator with 3” lift on 37” tires
@@robertkoch2432 i love the lift. Extremely glad i did it. I did end up trading the jeep in for an f-150. The jeep kept getting too hot for my liking, pulling the long mountain passes in Colorado.
Overall conclusion: cleaning every now and then is better than not cleaning.
Can you do a long term review with the KF kit?
Great idea! I’ll work on doing that! Thanks for the comment and subscribing!
Can you show how the awning is mounted? We just ordered our rog and I’m looking into a 270 awning, thanks!
Great ideas! What type of fasteners did you use for the drink and flashlight holders? Were you able to figure out where the internal framing is or are they just attached to the inside skin? We're looking at either the 12 or 14 Survival with the overlanding package.
They’re just the main flip down cupholders and broom holders on Amazon. They come with 3/4” screws that give plenty of bite in the interior walls. Appreciate you watching the video and subscribing. Definitely go with the overland package!
I have used pledge on my snowmobiles, find that it works good, and sheds the snow and water the best. Never used it on utvs
Thanks man
VERY informative! I was open minded (being a newbie) but have always had good luck with Armor All, so am glad you got a good result with it.
Good vid, blast to ride in snow. Maybe some studded tires. Nice trailer
Holy get to the point making me fall asleep
Mother ceramic wax works great to took my dull faded roof and turned it back to black and been sitting out side for over a year and still looks like new
You need hand and thumb warmers on that and nic rip on the new Polaris 👍
great video
Pam cooking spray ftw, stops mud from sticking the best! The old Honda pro was the best yrs agonew formula sucks
Great video Mike! It makes me want to get my insulated coveralls and join in. Oh that snow in the eyes at speed, brings back a memory of riding Honda 305 to school on a sunny spring like morning and riding home in a snow storm.
Thanks for the video it really helped me on my utvs
