What is the best way to tie down a SXS to a trailer. I'm thinking of using a nylon lifting slings (chokers) around a frame member and ratchet straps tightened to an anchor eye on trailer. Trying not to over think it but want SXS to stay on the trailer. Another question is do I place a ATY in front of SXS or rear.

I use ratchet straps  on mine... leave in gear with park brake on.. place heaviest weight to front of trailer. Too much weight on rear of trailer will make it duck-walk at 60 mph .. very unsafe  And if you have a  top on yours, make sure it is well secured.. Some will fly off at 60-70 mph

      Axis 500 4x4 turns over but no spark
      By D MAYNARD
      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. 
                                    Thank You,

      Best UTV Windshield for Extreme Conditions
      By hetovi
      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      Hello All...
           Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks
