    Arent many around here anymore, since the side by side craze I am really one of the only ones left. Everyone else decided to bury themselves in debt for a toy. I on the other hand want another house lol

    haha yeah tons of side x sides around me to. I dont see the big deal with em, 16K+ for a well equipped model, when you could get a suzuki sidekick and build it up with more power, more tire, etc. and WAY cheaper.

    I got a 350 dollar 79 bronco I have way more fun with than a side by side, plus they break all the time. Seems they are always taking them to the dealer

    haha yep.

    People try and convince me I need a side by side, I just say nope. I got the ranger if i wanna go wheeling. It will do a hell of a lot more than any side x side will, and I dont have to pay an extra 18 grand to do it.

    I can see the point of the work ones, with the bed and hauling capabilities. Great for older folks on a farm or something. But strictly as a fun toy, dont see the point. at least with a quad or dirtbike you get to move around, and do some fun ****. side by sides you just sit there with a steering wheel. no different than a car/truck!

    A lot of my friends will admit they miss their bikes/quads. But its a little tough to get back out from under them.

    We have a ranger (Polaris type) for farm use, its nice but my vote was for a broncoII instead

    haha yeah a bronco II would be a badass farm rig.

    I wanted to cut the rear top off and flat bed it sort of.

    Hey in other news I have a blown head gasket in the ranger

    ****ty deal on the ranger.

    I almost bought BII a few weeks ago. Had the back chopped off, and a mini cap built to make it look exactly like a full size bronco. its was like a 78/79 bronco, but mini.

    That would be sweet, I love my 79

    nah not a bad deal. I think this gasket has been bad since I did the swap. I am kind of excited to see how it runs with full power, and also a manual t case swap so I am not losing half my power through that AWD case

    Id do a 6 speed auto, and a 4x4 tcase right from the start. wont happen for a while though. gotta kill the 4.0 first
