I looked at those prices years ago and just bought an old, beat up (but reliable) Ford Ranger pickup to run around the property in. Cost me $500, still going strong.


We bought a Suzuki Samurai around 2005ish and sprayed the inside with Rhino liner and used that for hunting and riding around the property. That thing was awesome

Every person I know with one is a someone that has a job but still lives with their parents and doesn't have kids.

Normal working people that pay all of their bills can't afford these things.

My former town did as well, they’re not supposed to use the highway though but you have to in order to get to Kwik Trip for a cube of Busch Latte.


Tons of people drive them in my neighborhood and to the store. Makes me want to get a new one but they are just too damn expensive.

Saw one the other day with cheap 13 or 14 inch car tires on it. The off road tires don't last to long when you drive on pavement all the time.

No but I’ll be at my place tomorrow and can take some pics.

It’s basically an old school bus seat with square tubing and some shelving.

My email is my username 23 at yahoo.com.

Everyone in our hunting camp has them. I have an old Jeep. One of them asked me why I had the Jeep instead of the side by side. I told him I could drive home in my Jeep and it's cheaper than your side by side.

The machines that cost $20K+ have almost 100 HP, or have heat and air conditioning. If you don’t want that stuff, don’t pay for it.


HVAC rigs are in the 40-50K range. I got me one!

The SxS is cheap compared to my airplane.
