I am going riding in Utah and was wondering has anybody ever been riding out there. If so, what was it like? How was it having your fourwheelers loaded down with all your gear? How hard is it to rejet the carb and do you have to buy anything to do it? We are staying for 10 days.

 

I was out there in june, and man was it hot. Hope your trip is cooler. Scenery was awesome, and the people were friendly.
Where were you planning on going? What elevation are you riding to?
I think most quads handle elevations to 5000 pretty well, you might notice the power is down a bit, but youll notice that in your truck too.

 

First we are stopping at the Mojave trail then were going to the Paiute trail.

 

Our Rubicon has a 150 jet and it runs great from 4000 ft to 12,000 ft. Never ridden it below 4000 ft.

You will love the Piaute Trails. We like riding out of Marysvale and LOVE staying at Moores Old Pine Inn.

My typical mountain rides start in the valley at 4,000' and end up in the high country at over 10,000', yet my machines are jetted for sea level, because I also do low desert riding. I have posted a bunch of times on my method of doing an "out on the trail rejet". This is an old post where I explain the principle: http://forums.atvconnection.com/mess...word1=altitude Above 10,000', I just pull the airbox lid completely off.

I now use the THUNDER TPI, which is just a sliding opening in the airbox lid (2 per lid). You open it as you ascend, and close it as you descend. It is way more easy than messing with duct tape. http://www.thunderproducts.com/

This method really works will for me! Keep in mind that your aibox lid will no longer be waterproof, so use proper caution when crossing very deep streams.

As for riding loaded, it is something I try to avoid! We tend to car camp from a base camp, and just do day rides from there. That keeps us from carrying huge loads that adversely affect handling.
