Only if I had to pay for it. Those things are expensive! Can't buy a 15 year old cheap one like I did with my ATV.

What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

I take my teryx places I would have never dreamed of taking my Wrangler or any of the other 4 4wds I've owned. And I beat on it a lot more in the process without anything breaking...unlike the wrangler.

Also, some utvs have cd players, heaters and windshield wipers. So there!

Plus- around here, utv's can be tricky getting through the restrictor poles.
I also prefer riding "on" the machine, rather than "in" it.
Well...that's a good argument for why dirt bikes are superior, anyway.

If you've watched any of the Soggy Bottom Boys videos, you can't help but think some of the stuff they're doing looks fun.

But my UTV has an 800lb capacity. It would almost hold mine and Scooter's wife at the same time.
