The great big off road thread!

[Dunerdr]

I did a quick search and didnt see anything exactly like this.

With the dead time approaching my family and i will be doing a lot of camping and SxS/dirtbiking. I thought it would be cool to have a place to talk about what your riding/driving and places you go.

I wheel a Honda Pioneer 1000 its practical, fits in my dads toy hauler, seats both kids, the wife, and my niece. I've also got a KTM 520 bike, a KLX 110 to play on, and a chinese 70 my 8 year olds been learning on. My dad recently bought a Toyota FJ cruiser that will get some time around Disney Oklahoma at some point.


Share your pictures and stories and thoughts!

Thanks for the info about Kansas Rocks, Radar!
I had never heard of the place, and it has an interesting history about how it came to be.
Always looking for new places to ride, and that's close enough for me to make it a day trip.

Anyone rode st joe state park? Any good?

I’d like to hit Chadwick again but it’s got a maximum width. Id have to take the two quads and that leaves the wife and daughter hanging. Keeping that trip on the back burner for when they have something else going.

I'm all fired up about getting out. I tuned up my ATV's, changed the oil and repacked by cargo boxes for spring riding. The only problem is, the foothills keep getting snow. The foothills got nailed with another 13 inches last week, to add to the stuff that was already there. The mountains where I like to ride, have been getting several feet. It might be a bit longer.

It was 101* real feel on the sand last weekend in western Oklahoma. I can't actually fathom seeing snow right now.

Well the pioneer is on glorified golf cart duty at the lake for the rest of the summer. It’s been 100 or close to it about 5 times already and I’m not that damn commute lol.

Doing work!

I know this threads pretty slow but I snagged up a new project. A raptor 250 I tried buying months ago. Guy hurt the cam in it. Came with a new jug,piston, valve springs, valves and rockers. Tons of aftermarket parts. Was originally asking 2500. Messaged and asked if I’d be interested in a basket case for 500. He needed to get his wife out of jail lol.

I sold my ATV's a bought a Polaris General. I've been hanging accessories on it all winter. I only have the Thumper Fab rock sliders left to hang, (I'm doing that this week) along with grabbing an extra belt. Everything else is done. Come on warm temps and spring!

Let me get it done and I will.

My brother just picked up a Polaris ranger with the same thing as your Dad's neighbor. It's the Northstar model. Heat/AC/ power glass windows, GPS, ect. He's also hanging a lot of Thumper Fab accessories on it. That's going to be a sweet ride.

Mines nowhere near that fancy. LOL I did add a backup camera, a stereo system, changed out the headlights to bright LED, hung on some extra lights, installed a spare tire holder/fold down rack, a rear aluminum box, front electric windshield wiper and reservoir, front fold out glass, rear glass, etc.

I’ve got a similar set up on the pioneer 1000. Windshield,bumpers, winch, stereo and added nets to keep the kiddos arms inside.

I need to upgrade my music situation while riding, but currently own a Sportsman with a storage bin/second seat setup that I bolted on, so there's little in terms of permanently docking speakers (but could maybe get creative).

I've mostly used a JBL or just earbuds, but need something better.

I know next to nothing about off-roading, but Matt's Offroad Recovery on YouTube is a fascinating watch. It's crazy the situations people get themselves into (and that they're able to get them out). Here's a sample:

I'm in the process of finishing up a 1966 bronco. It'll be a fun wheeler when I'm done.

Super proud of my son. Over 55 miles in two days on his little 250ex. Went everywhere without issue. Cruised through 12k acres of private land at Cucumber creek. The owner and his dad gave us a tour. Two guys killed two 30 packs of trail sodas in a day. 10am-midnight.
