    Maxxis carnivores

    I think the Carnivores are a good general use/trail tire. I've had them on my Defender for about 2000 km so far. Never needed to patch one and still have lots of tread. Most of the use has been working around home and riding in Crowsnest. I don't ride in deep mud. Running about 7-10 psi on...

    Just a ride around home again. Finding the beavers have been busy this summer.

    Ranger vs Defender

    One thing to add is that snow sticks to a steel plow a lot more than a poly plow. I have been meaning to experiment with car wax and see how that helps.

    Ranger vs Defender

    I had a poly plow for the Polaris General I had and I have a steel plow on my Defender. The poly plow works fine but tends to ride over harder snow. The extra weight of the steel helps dig down more I find. Lighter machines like my old General sag quite a bit up front with the plow lifted up, so...

    Ranger vs Defender

    I like my Defender. It gets the job done. Just about 3000 km on mine and no issues. With proper tires it will push quite a bit.

    What did you do for your ATV today?

    Just a ride around home. Had surgery in March and recovery, so I haven't burnt even a half a tank since then. Getting out more now and it feels good.

    The US DOJ busted a secret Chenese police station in New York a few weeks ago also. "People’s Republic of China, through its repressive security apparatus, established a secret physical presence in New York City to monitor and intimidate dissidents and those critical of its government."...

    SXS wider in front then the back . Can am Defender

    I got a kit of Amazon. 2017+ Ford style lights. That style is smaller than most others. Got them with blacked out lenses so they blend in with the roof when they are off. It’s red neck but I like it. Lol

    SXS wider in front then the back . Can am Defender

    I’m running 6+1 offset wheels in the front and 4+3 offset in the rear. That gets everything lined up nicely. 1.5” or 2” wheel spacers in the rear is another option. I’ve also got the wider fenders on the front only. The wide fenders on the rear just doesn’t look right.

    Chainsaw for use on the trail.

    I have the Dewalt 60V saw as well. While it wouldn't be the best to take down a forest it's great for cleaning up trail, and will go through a lot. Must have for me because my Defender is usually the widest thing on the trail.

    What did you do for your ATV today?

    My Black Friday SLG order arrived last Friday. Not bad turnaround considering they build and powder coat to order. I won’t get the Renegade in for the custom tune until sometime in January so the pipe install will have to wait. However I did get the cup holder in. Install time is exactly 1 beer.

    What did you do for your ATV today?

    I don’t but but almost everyone else I ride the river with does. Makes a big difference. I might finally stud my tires this year.

    What did you do for your ATV today?

    Only -4 tonight so I decided I better get out before the cold sets in tomorrow. First ride on the Sturgeon River north of Edmonton.
