Seems the companies leave these UTVs unfinished, I call lack of mud guards, roof etc. missing parts. I'm sure their answer is it lowers the price of the UTV, yea just like selling a truck without a roof or wheel wells. Seems the price of a new UTV equals a small new car, heck just take off some parts from a new car, sell the parts and you have what's left as a cheaper UTV but with stereo, wipers, turn signals, horn etc. Just jack up the suspension and paint it camo! Am I crazy or is this true?

Yes at $800 I'll take five or six accessories to start. They have A/C for larger cc engines, heated steering wheel, you name it they've thought of it and had it made. A fully accessorized UTV would cost double or more than the UTV itself!! When did we stop using an old P/U truck with no doors or box? Or that old Pontiac sedan less its doors to run down the fields? They cost little to nothing and were built tougher and easier/simpler to repair.

Just to add, with some of the remaining Lexan I made windows for the small cutouts directly below the roof and secured them with ShoeGoo. No sense in having a windshield and roof and still have cold air blowing in on your face. I'm trying to reproduce something like what they have here: https://www.utv-mudbusters.com/ranger-1/31zrwdbggw5jwtl4m7eolxpwz5a349 They look simple enough that a cutter and heat gun is all you need

Pics taken this winter/spring from living room, turkeys about 85 yards out. Roof is 1/8" aluminum and rear window is Lexan, easy to cut and shape/edge with a 4" grinder with sanding disc.

Always nice to use a rifle that's been in the family, seems to give a hunt more meaning.

Thanks i'll give them a try.

I'm looking to make mud shields for the Polaris, the UHMW plastic is far too expensive. I was told rink board (stops pucks) could work but comes in white color. I'm sure 50 gal plastic drums can work if you can flatten out the plastic. Could also be used for skid plates under a UTV. Too bad no one sells templates for skid plates, don't want to flip mine over to measure.

Great you got a good deer. Gut shot or not you got him and he didn't die hidden away. I find a deer stand the best, and a bag of cracked corn. I'd like to get some coyote but they are very wary here, only hear them well after dark howling. Only one evening they came out before dark, got two with a .223 Winchester Model 70. My Polaris has a 500cc engine, a single cylinder and liquid cooled. My older Sportworks became difficult to find parts and can't get a front gas shock for the strut. I'll have to match one up, they most all have a 1 1/2" tube diameter but any shop here won't try to match them. Seems a 7 year old is obsolete in the world of Chinese made utv's. I'm told it's Chinese and only assembled in the US. Soon as I find a shock i'm selling it to help pay for the Polaris. It's tough as nails but so is the ride comfort.

Those racks look like they give you quick access to your rifles. I've gone to a .17 HMR from a .22, no need to adjust elevation for longer ranges and it shoots minute of squirrel. I hunt deer, moose, turkey, geese. Virtually no grouse since fishers cleaned them out so a friend and trapper gets those.
