All UTV's Countdown to desert season 2012/2013

[Rusty5150]

With about 60 days until the ISA Convention/UTVUnderground season opener, what do you plan to do to your machine before the 1st big ride? Do you have any typical off season prep you go through? Do you only replace broken parts or do you replace parts that show wear.

Please take a minute and share what you do to your UTV in the off season to keep it performing all season long.

Good thread Rusty!!

I just got done with a full service on the RZR4 XP900 thanks to the boys at IMG Motorsports. I also had them install an XMF shock tower in it so I am excited to see how that works. We greased all the zerks and put a fresh air filter in it from Airaid.

The Wildcat will get picked up from Prestige Motorsports tomorrow. They did a full service on the cat including new belt and oil change. They also tightened all bolts and serviced the power steering. It will go to Walker Evans Racing to get a shock upgrade and then be ready for the SSSS. I can't wait to run it!!!

Eric does "race prep" on all our sided by sides on a regular basis. Seat belts are replaced every 3 years, CVT belt on the play cars is done about once a year. Race car every few races. I love that my husband is a fabricator and a mechanic. I never have to take my car to be serviced!

I still have to pull all my crap out of the toy hauler, but it's only like 112 down here, so that might wait a bit still. All you guys are making me want to get it all ready, but when I walk out side, I turn back around and say forget it.

DITTO. I DID UNLOAD THE RHINO FROM THE FLATBED. THAT WAS ALL I COULD STAND TO DO.
