I have a 2005 Scrambler 500 4x4 that needs new front drive shafts (CV axles). I ordered a set that were supposedly for this model, but they're too short and impossible to install. I have since contacted several other vendors asking for the overall length of the axles they offer. Even though they claim they're for my bike and are the correct parts, they are all the same length as the first set I received (20.5"). I can't find anyone who has the correct axles for this bike.

Is there a source for these axles in the correct length?

Can anyone give me insight on using the zillas in snow. I like the tread depth on the zillas and the weight. Bad side is I ride some pavement and plow quite a bit of snow with my 04 700 sportsman. My next option would be bighorns but I'm not liking the tread depth on them, would like them deeper. Also the bighorns are heavier as far as i can tell. When I'm talking about the bighorns I am referring to the OG's not the 2's. Next question would be, will I be able to run 27s on this wheeler without any problems, no rubbing and such. Also I'm thinking of upgrading to an aftermarket aluminum wheel such as the ss111,112, or something on that order.

Has anyone ever had water get in the air box from washing just with a garden hose
I did a good wash and clean pulled the seat to clean and check air filter and found water in air box enough to get filter damp I haven't rode in any deep water feet haven't got wet

Can someone explain what that is? It looks like a proprietary mounting system for accessories? It seems like the accessories are very pricey - suggestions for retrofitting other storage (like can you buy the mounting hardware?).

Perhaps he'll wear floaties next time

The Can-Am Renegade 1000 is a superb mud machine, but all ATVs have their limits. By the looks of things, this guy found his. We’d love to be able to interpret the dialogue that’s happening as his friend chronicles his woes to share online.

The 2018 Mahindra Retriever 1000 is a brand new Utility UTV with power and capabilities to challenge the Polaris Ranger XP 1000.

A new challenger for the mighty Polaris Ranger rises up from the agriculture world to vie for dominance in the 1000-class utility/recreation UTV category. Let’s see how the 2018 Mahindra Retriever 1000 compares to the Ranger XP 1000 by the numbers.

If you go to any UTV dealership and ask which models sell the most, the answer might surprise you. While we all like the RZRs and Maverick X3s and give them lots of love in the press, the real star of the show are the utility/recreation machines. These are the Polaris Rangers and Can-Am Defenders – machines that are built to work and play. The line between a work machine and a play machine is getting blurred with each new model year.

Polaris Factory Racing earned a podium sweep at the 2018 King of the Hammers UTV Race with Mitch Guthrie Jr. leading the way, followed by Braden Sims and Mitch Guthrie Sr.

Polaris Factory Racing continued its electric start to the 2018 season with a podium sweep at the Can-Am King of the Hammers UTV Race, the world’s toughest one-day off-road race.

Following Ronnie Anderson’s win last week at WORCS season opener in the all-new RZR RS1, Mitch Guthrie Jr.’s victory kept the Polaris Factory Racing team atop the podium. Guthrie Jr. was joined by fellow Polaris teammate Branden Sims in second and his father, Mitch Guthrie Sr., taking third. With multiple victories already secured early in this season, the Polaris team is primed to build upon its incredibly successful 2017 season.

To the victor go the spoils

Would you scurry through several feet of muck and mud while fending off 20 or so combatants for a shot at winning a Polaris RZR? For these folks, the answer is yes! Somewhere amidst all the mud, sweaty bodies and stuck UTVs was a water bottle with a golden ticket inside that one lucky person could exchange for a key to a Polaris RZR. If that key happened to be the one to start the RZR, they got to bring it home with them. Not a bad trade off if you don’t mind getting a little dirty.

This RZR definitely deserves the spotlight

While UTVs haven’t exactly made it to the big screen yet, they have certainly played a major roll behind the scenes in a number of major motion pictures. Not only are UTVs regularly used to cart personnel and equipment around on set, but they are frequently retrofitted and used as camera cars. This one in particular started out as a Polaris RZR XP 1000 and was stripped down and lengthened by Rhys Millen Racing. You probably won’t see it on the silver screen any time soon, but it will very likely be lurking behind the scenes.
