UTV coming Thursday

SxS's are a lot of fun and useful. I had two and sold both. Just not enough use in my case to justify them.

You will regret not getting a cab in the winter. My Polaris 850 was next to useless in the winter but you Kubby is heavier so good luck!!

If you like older Ford OBS trucks (in mint condition), I can understand that. It's a 97 F350 4x4 crew cab with a built 7.3 and a built E4OD. 99K miles, never seen snow (stays garaged all winter). Bought it new in 97. Great truck. Farm truck in the summer and hauls our truck camper too.

You are supposed to be looking at the Sidekick, not the truck.....

My 2000 F250 7.3L has 260K miles and is rusted down. Bought a replacement Saturday. 2002 F250 7.3L 130K miles Texas truck. Excellent condition.

Thanks for the update on ur Sidekick. Anxious to hear useage reports.

UTV is too hard to look at with that shiny paint.

Not planning on wintertime use other than maybe a bale of hay once in a while. I have cab tractors with heat for winter.

My wife bought it, not me. It's her's, not mine anyway.

That truck will be in my will. Until then, not for sale. Just switched insurance carriers to one that will insure it for actual value, not what the NADA book says it's worth. I insured it for 20 grand, not the 7500 NADA says.

Not about to even consider a new truck for 80 grand that has all the EPA mandated garbage on it. My 97 has no emissions garbage at all. Not even a crankcase recirc system. Took that off and did a road draft tube long ago. 21 highway and with the TC in the bed, 17 highway.

I have a 1985 CJ7 ..long story behind it but it痴 insured with Haggerty for stated value ( 25k ) for 400.00 a year... if it was insured normally with full coverage it would be close to 1k a year and covered for book value... probably 4500.00

I went with Collectables instead. Have some of my high buck guns with them too.

Fords are prone to the wheel wells rusting out. Even though I don't drive mine during the winter, when I wash it, I always wash above the wheel arches on the undersides of the fenders. I use Fluid Film on it every other year. Good stuff.

The Sidekick is doing field duty today, pulling the tine harrow to set the seed and fertilizer in the hayfield out back. Put the winch on, no big deal but running the power cables was (used welding cable). Had to take the entire skid pan off as well as the right front tire to access everything.

I've always wondered about Fluid Film. I'll try some. Thanks for the tip.
