Love the new wrap and roll cage. Very insightful to see how it's done, and understand the level of effort that goes into planning, designing, an building/applying! Thanks for sharing. At one point on the ride ... the wrap was pure tennessee mud which looked awesome also! Nice team effort and creativity with new york Mike.... gotta be comforting when out on those trails to know that there is such a skilled group to handle the situations as then come! Looking forward to Day 2.
@@regandediana Thanks for the thoughtful comment man. Glad you liked the behind the scenes of the wrap install. Ya, the wrap went from being as clean and mint as it would ever be to about as dirty as it can possibly ever be in a matter of minutes, lol! She ain't no trailer queen!! Crappy situations don't have to be very crappy if you put your heads together and find a solution. We are a team out there and we work as one. Off-road brotherhood for life!!
Thanks for tuning in! I've been workin my butt off to get all caught up and current with the videos and I'm almost there! Hoping that once I'm caught up I can be a lot faster with the videos and upload pretty soon after we do a ride. This is day one of three from our recent trip to Tennessee this past March. The weather sucked and we ran into issue after issue. Sometimes that's just the way it goes off-road though. It's still an awesome time out on the trails with good friends. Stay tuned for the next episode, we head to the Tackett Creek trail system and the weather cleans up. I'm hoping to plan a lot more trip all over the United States and Canada in the months to come. I also want to plan a subscriber ride in the future so we can all get together, ride and film some awesome videos. Hope you enjoy the video.

AHhh hahahahaha !!I just watched the intro. I'm super busy so this will probably be a 2 nighter. I'm sure it's going to be another awesome #TeamAJP video. Thanks man! See ya soon.
Hey, thanks !! We'll be back out. The next day, actually. That stuff happens all the time. It's part of the game. We enjoy doing this way too much for 1 night of mishaps to turn us away. See ya in the next video.
Wow !! I had a bad night. The first one was stupid. I was going way too fast and didn't see how deep the ruts were and fell over. That second one was bad. We hit hard. I guess I got a little upset and I'm sorry for that. It happens. I'm glad my crew can handle these situations because we have them. Side note, the starting issue was a bad solenoid. That just added to the aggravation factor. I may have had a bad night, but I wouldn't trade this for anything. Thanks, Julian for another great video. I can't wait to make more.
Hey brother, no one got hurt, the machine didn't take any serious damage. I wouldn't call that a bad night, just off-roading. We all had smiles on our faces and we all have each others backs good or bad. It was a great night and we had another two awesome days after it! Can't wait to hook up with all of you guys and do it all again!! Always a pleasure spending time with you and Wendy.
Glad you enjoy the efforts. I love recording the videos, I have fun doing it. It definitely adds another level of complexity to the rides. Most the guys we ride with are pretty considerate and understanding when it comes to the recording too. So they don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes for video related stuff.
Thanks so much man!! Appreciate the Super Thanks! Stoked you enjoy the content. The 950 is gonna get a beat down really soon. Got a ton of parts lined up for it already, just waiting to get a chance to install them. We took it out for a good ride a few weekends ago and it's been having some issues since though. Water got into the harness somewhere and it's having all sorts of weird electrical issues I'm trying to diagnose. I'll post an update video on it.
@@sxsoutcast7651 if I can't get it figured out this weekend I'm gonna drop it off at the dealership and get them to prove their claims about "the best warranty in the game" lol. The upsetting thing is that we didn't do anything crazy with it. There were like 20 other machines out and the only two that had any serious issues were the CFMOTO's.

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I'm hoping it isn't something major. Mine has been a nightmare and before I get rid of it I'm taking it to a dealer to get the motor checked out for the banging or random knocking sound. Hope it doesn't cost a fortune to fix. Good luck.

Best, and I mean best, content for trailing on TH-cam !!!!!! I live in East Texas so everything is muddy and I Absolutely hate it. So I literally plan my rides when it is dry as possible. I have only had the starter switch get silly on me if if I let the car sit for a few weeks without starting it. I just wiggle the connection near the master cylinder and it seems to work. Vasoline the connection and have never had that trouble again. I live for night riding. It's "spooky". I have a front facing 30000 lumens and 12000 rear facing. I could literally check you for cancer !!!! LMAO !!!! Again, Amigo !!!! Thank you for all the hard work it takes to post this great content. #1 in my book !!!!! 🙂
Hey Kurt, super pumped you enjoyed this video and all the others. Ya, you guys have some nasty mud down that way. I wouldn’t wanna ride in that all the time. Good to know about the starter connection. I haven’t had any issues on my machine regarding that yet. Hopefully saying that doesn’t change things, lol 😂 appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
We have stayed at that house with Keith there at stinking creek. Great place one of my favorites to stay there. Close to the sunquist unit and tackett creek. Then not far from the royal blue unit and new river. There is some great riding in that area
here in alaska my husky loves to ride in the kymco and yamaha wolverine. we built special seat boards that fit in the passenger side, it allows him to put feet down where our legs normally bend. hook a few bunjee leashes to the frame of the interior and your safe for trails!
Awesome! Had a friend who did the same thing on his SXS on the passenger side. Even knew a few people that build similar setups for their ATV's so their dogs could ride along.
I use this long 1”bolt with a bearing cage and three vice grips to pull out the broken axle inner. Thanks for the content! Love your channel! My tools list and spares parts are because of your channel!!! Thank you!
I've got a set of vice grips I've welded a big slide hammer too that works great at getting the broken axle out of the transmission end. Glad you enjoy the channel!!
Those trails were the best! A little bit of everything. Great job guys! Battlewagon was doing great! NY Mike... you rock!! I'm glad no one was injured in the making of this video 😂😂😂
Like old school ajp. Nice to see James in passenger seat for a trip. Those are not good trail conditions at all wow. Ruts are terrible there. Great video non the less as usual buddy 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Congratulations on the baby also bro 🎉🎉 hope you all are doing well.
Stoked you enjoy the videos man!! Would be awesome to meet you out on the trails. I'm hoping to organize a few subscriber rides in the future so you guys can come out, ride and take part in the videos!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Come on down to central Florida and run through the sugar sand and mud. We really don't have rocky technical ride's, just sand and mud haha
You brought a good point up about tire size. We feel the effect everywhere we go especially in West Virginia cause I ride quads and even more I ride sport quads there the funniest things things to ride in the woods to ride just a opinion though I consider side by sides to much like driving my truck not riding all just a opinion. With that said my wife still wants a SxS and I really like your channel you guys bring it man keep up the good work brother!
You are a real rider Dakota. Takes a big set to hit some of those trails on a sport quad and I tip my had to you guys. I don't think I have the skill to conquer that terrain on a sport quad. The SXS is way more laid back in comparison and when you mess up you just hold on and the the cage and harnesses take care of the rest. I guess we are about as tough as your wife, lol! 😉😆
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd lol no no I don’t hit things like yal hit on a sport quad unless it’s smooth and able to keep my momentum that’s the most important part. You guys are just simply crazy like me I love it! No matter what you ride sxs to a dirt bike that’s something I can respect right there! I’m happy to only live like 2 hours away from hayfield and McCoy I go every chance I get like you said in your videos it like heaven on earth for people that love powersports
Love to see you do a video on the subject of being prepared and equipment. Maybe a UTV load out to include rider gear, recovery gear, tools, spare parts for the rzr guys 😂, and the things that just make life easier on the trail.
Awesome video dude well shot and edited. Hope i get mine to look this good. Plus thx for taking care of my friends NY Mike and Wendy. Glad all turned out well.
Glad you enjoyed it. Not as exciting as some but that’s the way it goes sometimes. We never leave a man down, Mike would of done the same for any of us. Wendy always had a smile on her face, even when she needs to crawl out a window… lol 😂
Great footage, love Royal Blue! Also keep pushing that FinnTrail! I have Waders, boots and jacket and absolutely love how comfortable it is to wear all day on the trails. Best investment for my riding (besides a winch) i have made. Its not cheap, but cheap aint good!
Thanks Darryl, glad you liked the video. We are all out there to have a good time so even when things don’t play out the best we still try to keep it positive. It’s all part of the game.
This is how the majority of our trips go. You really don’t need a lot of tools to completely tear down a machine on the trail. You just need to know what gear you need for your machine and a little know how. A lot of guys are surprised when you do a quick cv boot swap out during a trail side snack break. Sure wrecks a trip if you’re out of commission on day one of a trip because you have to take it to the dealer for repairs.
Ya, I agree. I feel that if you want to ride advanced or harder terrain you need to have at least a basic level of mechanical skills. I don't mind doing trail side repairs when something breaks, I consider it part of the experience. As long as you have the basic necessities to get it done you can easily salvage your day or even your weekend. If anyone in the group needs help and I can assist I always will. Getting things fixed quickly and properly benefits everyone in the group.
I found your channel a week or so ago and it’s has become my favorite. One thing thing that sets you apart is your video editing with how you cut your videos to show 1 obstacle from different angles.
Hey man, happy you are enjoying the channel and thanks for subscribing. I'm glad to hear you like the editing and multiple camera angles. You've got a lot of videos to watch to get caught up, lol. Lot's more new stuff on the way too!
Thanks Don! Ya, the Finntrail was gettin a workout on this trip! We would not have been as happy without it. Checked out a few of your WV videos recently. Looks like you guy had fun too!
@AdrenalineJunkieProd we had a awesome time ! Sunshine for all 5 days we rode actually. It started to rain at 5 o'clock at night on our last day right when we were washing the machines up to come home . Videos are slowly coming from the trip....unfortunately work takes up my time from getting them edited..lol
Rough night for Mike. I feel his pain. Hard not to get frustrated when things go bad. Floped my machine over one day, no big deal. Next day i slipped off a "bridge" and had a pretty hard landing, busted up the machine. I didn't take it as well as Mike did. I got it home patched it up and hey, its just paint metal and plastic. I won't forget that ride anytime soon :)
Ya it was a rough one for him but in hindsight nothing serious happened. No serious or overly expensive damage and no one got hurt. We had him up and running at 100% the next morning like you’ll see in the video from day 2.
Good morning everyone, it's January 1st 2024, yes watching again 😂, Happy New Year to you all. I'd love to do a trip south with y'all 🎉, enjoy and Best Wishes to you all 🎉❤😅
This night ride looked fun, imagine it could be really fun with night vision goggles. I really like riding blacked out at night with them, or with supplemented UV light if no moon. But its also cool to ride with a group and tons of lights and colors
By the way, nice job keeping Mike calm. Question: why didn't you guys install one of those new axles Mike had strapped to his machine, while you had it apart? Was it because of the axle part still stuck in the rear diff? What tool would you use to remove that? Also this was a great reminder to not only carry spare parts but the tools to change them.
Thanks man, it's easy to get flustered after a roll. It's the crews job to help get the person in a tough spot back on track. We couldn't get the axle cup out of the transmission. There is a tool called an "axle magic" that is made for removing them. It's basically a fancy slide hammer. I just have a set of vice grips at home that I welded a big slide hammer too, that works well also. You can buy a set of vice grips with a slide hammer on them but they are a rip off so I just made some. We knew if we kept going we would be asking for more trouble so we just decided to double back since it wasn't far from the road and we fixed it all in the morning back at camp. We usually carry an "axle magic" with us or the vice grip slide hammer cause a spare axle is no good if you cant get the old pieces out.
grt trails n footage!! i lov ridin when its overcast. good job keepn ur boy calm too, as for FT how they treated me was disgraceful. i nned your skills, my front outter cv boot is off n grease is on my rim, that doesnt mean the joint is bad right, just need to re pack n seal? n steering column is clicking......n last if rad is full do i still need to top off the overflow to min? (cold) ty
Hey hey. Stoked you enjoyed the ride. I love riding in bad weather too lol. As for the FT thing that shocks me. They are known for having very good customer service. Was it just one bad incident you had? I’ve never had anyone comment about an issue like that before. What happened? If the boot is off I’d remove the axle and clean the joint out really well. Inspect the boot for damage. If it’s not damaged and it’s just a failed clamp repack it with CV grade grease and reinstall the boot properly. Are you sure it’s the steering column clicking? Could be a bad ujoint in the column. Not much else could be wrong. The rad being full doesn’t mean the level is proper. Go based off the cold fill line on the reservoir.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd hey boss, yea they sent all wrong sizes, ( i aso didnt kno can uses us female sided zippers) that i can live with but not wrong sizes, then were so rude n sarcastic, then i paid to return n was charged! thnks for tech info, i tool wheel off n it seems boot is firmly ON, grease squeezed out somehow, the odd thing is, as i jack it up from center the good wheel remails on the ground the bad one raises up, this is bad they should stay or lift at the same rate, so i assume something is bound up, but wheel spins fine.....wheel on it has a bit of play not sure if thats normal or bearing, wheel off hub has no play....column- u joint is part of that right? i hav NOWHERE to take it where i live...my can chain i think came off on atv n wont run under throttle, n all rad fluid is low on all 3 lol n btw front shocks blew on 1 n rear WE shocks blew on the other after very low miles! done w/ polaris! Polaris CS told me I shouldnt b taking my machine OFF RD?!!?!?
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd cleaned boot n found a tiny slit, clip was still on tight....if joint was bad what does it feel like, grinding n wont turn? grease was slightly silver metalic thought that was bad idk....steering made no clks in the air then when lowered clks loud......but jack in cntr, hood was level n the leaky side wheel was 3 inches higher than the other that isnt good.... to swap boot i havto remove tie rod right? ty for ur help
Release the clamp of the axle boot at the wheel then remove the axle. Drive in 4X4. Then repair. Simple. If you remove the axle nut at the hub it will come apart and need that repair also.
I have to add this about what you said at the end. I ride a 2022 BMW r1250 GSA and an older Gentleman told me after I crashed in the sand, that if you don't have a story, you didn't have a ride.
Thanks! I'm pumped with how the #BattleWagon has evolved, glad you like it. Stay tuned, I'll have some more CF MOTO content comin. We took it out on a good trail ride and let's just say it's got a few issues now, lol.
New cage is RAD, if the ride went perfect it wouldn't be as cool. Night rides are when everything breaks, but like you said, make the stories that everyone talks about around the fire.
Hey man, glad you like the new cage! Yup, it's the mishaps that usually make the best stories and some of the best memories. Like you said, night rides always have a way of spawning carnage, lol.
Awesome content man love your vids. You should get a group together and attempted the Alexander Mackenzie overland trail with sxs. It would be a cool part series
Thanks Ben. Glad you like it. The Turbo R and Pro R models in a 4 seater are just too big and wide for our local trails. They wouldn’t even fit in my trailer lol.
Did I say up? Habit. Your right, the United States are down from us. Hoping to organize some group rides in the future so we can all get together, ride and shoot some video with some viewers.
Just an fyi, i took mine to a dealer in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania and they've taken the motor out and the bottom end is blown. The crank, the main bearings were loose on both cylinders and it destroyed the motor. Then i was asked when i replaced the head? I never replaced the head. I bought it brand new with 0 miles on it and i wouldnt mess with the motor. So now its just a giant paper weight needing a motor. Almost 4k for the motor and 2.4k for labor. Just thought id share this.
Awesome video.. I always reinstall the radius bolts in from the front. That way you don't have to remove caliper to change axle.. and he had 2 axles on his machine.. why not change the axle?
We couldn’t get the axle out of the transmission. We had an “axle magic” back at the house but we forgot to bring it out on the trail. Also, since it broke the way we did we wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bent trailing arm so we didn’t just destroy another axle. Since we weren’t very far from the road we decided it was best to just double back and call it a night and address the repairs properly in the morning.
How many miles are on the battle wagon now? Awesome to see how strong it still goes! Any maintenance advice you care to share for making a side by side last long term like this?
So I’ve been looking at Finntrail. Now I have a birthday coming up and would like to know what you wear and why. Thanks. Plus prices so I know I’m looking at the right outfits please. Thanks again.
Hey man, they mud in these areas is orange. It's orange clay. If you go riding around Georgia its more of a red clay in some areas. Here in Ontario Canada we have grey clay in a lot of areas. The colour of the dirt and mud change depending on where you are. I have a grill like that too, Jason brought me one on this trip. I'm just about to install it. It's custom laser cut. Maybe he can tell us where it's from, his buddy makes them. I'll ask him.
Great video! what's the camera setup for the forward view is it on a gimbal? It looks like a go pro on a ram mount does it have a feature that levels the capture?
Thanks. Glad you liked it. It’s just an old GoPro 7 with hyper smooth stabilization enabled. Any of the GoPros from 7 and up don’t really need a gimbal. The digital stabilization is mind blowing.
@NYMike what is the make and model of your toy hauler and how do you like it so far? My wife and I are planning to purchase one so we can take the buggy with us everywhere. Currently have a 27foot Camper and buggy has to stay home on camping trips that don’t involve a cabin .
I mount and dismount my own tires all of the time. Order yourself a "Beadbuster" Here is a video I made about it. It makes life soooo easy: th-cam.com/video/xBpj95MUiSI/w-d-xo.html I only run beadlock wheels on my SXS's so it's a lot easier mounting and dismounting.
Was wondering how a person could fit in that turbo r 4 seater with such a chopped cage. But I guess if your not wearing a helmet then that gives you more room. I never ride without a helmet.
Ya, being short helps too lol. I don’t ever ride without a helmet either, if I don’t have one on it’s almost like something is missing I’m so conditioned to having one. Goin for a cruise behind your house or doin some yard work is one thing but I never “ride” without a lid. You don’t need a full face helmet but you need at least an open face. Even a minor roll can result in your head hitting the roll cage and that never ends well.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I don’t really push the Patreon. A lot of people tell me I should but it feels like pan handling to me. Been raised to not ask for handouts and I know it’s not really a handout but it still kind of feels like it.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Gotta change the way you look at it man. You’re not the one getting money for free. All of your viewers are getting your videos for free though. Some of us would like the opportunity to show our appreciation, even in some small way like 3.50 a month. 👍

We have stayed at that house with Keith there at stinking creek. Great place one of my favorites to stay there. Close to the sunquist unit and tackett creek. Then not far from the royal blue unit and new river. There is some great riding in that area
Great video. Great job helping each other out. That's what it's all about. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video man! Teamwork makes the dream work! Doesn't matter how things play out, we always make the best of them.
here in alaska my husky loves to ride in the kymco and yamaha wolverine. we built special seat boards that fit in the passenger side, it allows him to put feet down where our legs normally bend. hook a few bunjee leashes to the frame of the interior and your safe for trails!
Awesome! Had a friend who did the same thing on his SXS on the passenger side. Even knew a few people that build similar setups for their ATV's so their dogs could ride along.
Your videos are always interesting and fun to watch. Not only that, but being fairly new to the side by side world, I’m learning a lot too!
I use this long 1”bolt with a bearing cage and three vice grips to pull out the broken axle inner. Thanks for the content! Love your channel! My tools list and spares parts are because of your channel!!! Thank you!
I've got a set of vice grips I've welded a big slide hammer too that works great at getting the broken axle out of the transmission end. Glad you enjoy the channel!!
Guess I know what I’m welding tomorrow. Thanks again, Julian for another great idea!
@@mickelday7557 your welcome! Glad you like the idea! Easy and effective.
My tools are also because of the channel
Sweet ride with all the changes. Another amazing video my friend
Thanks Randy! Glad you like all the upgrades.
Those trails were the best! A little bit of everything. Great job guys! Battlewagon was doing great! NY Mike... you rock!! I'm glad no one was injured in the making of this video 😂😂😂
Thanks Gayle! Takes a lot more to hurt New York Mike then a little dirt nap and a few scratches.
I can tell, he and his wife are a great addition to the videos!
@@gaylebutler5564 WOW !! What an awesome thing to say. Thank you.
Love royal blue great place
Nice rig. Love the new look. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Happy to hear you like the new and improved #BattleWagon V3.0! I'm super happy with how it's evolved.
Nice work you guys! Loved hearing the frogs at some points....
Thanks Bruce. Ya, the frogs were super loud in some spots. I could listen to that for hours.
Yes!! This just made my day!
You comment made my day!
Great ride through Tennessee. Thank you.
Like old school ajp. Nice to see James in passenger seat for a trip. Those are not good trail conditions at all wow. Ruts are terrible there. Great video non the less as usual buddy 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Congratulations on the baby also bro 🎉🎉 hope you all are doing well.
Was good to be out again, trail legs were pretty damn rusty!
@@ohnegative9526 haha i bet!
I've been following you guy's for about a year now and love your vids maybe one day I could tag along on one of your bad ass ride's.
Stoked you enjoy the videos man!! Would be awesome to meet you out on the trails. I'm hoping to organize a few subscriber rides in the future so you guys can come out, ride and take part in the videos!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Come on down to central Florida and run through the sugar sand and mud. We really don't have rocky technical ride's, just sand and mud haha
Awesome video again guys. Truly like the teamwork and leaving no man or woman behind. Great rides!
You brought a good point up about tire size. We feel the effect everywhere we go especially in West Virginia cause I ride quads and even more I ride sport quads there the funniest things things to ride in the woods to ride just a opinion though I consider side by sides to much like driving my truck not riding all just a opinion. With that said my wife still wants a SxS and I really like your channel you guys bring it man keep up the good work brother!
You are a real rider Dakota. Takes a big set to hit some of those trails on a sport quad and I tip my had to you guys. I don't think I have the skill to conquer that terrain on a sport quad. The SXS is way more laid back in comparison and when you mess up you just hold on and the the cage and harnesses take care of the rest. I guess we are about as tough as your wife, lol! 😉😆
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd lol no no I don’t hit things like yal hit on a sport quad unless it’s smooth and able to keep my momentum that’s the most important part. You guys are just simply crazy like me I love it! No matter what you ride sxs to a dirt bike that’s something I can respect right there! I’m happy to only live like 2 hours away from hayfield and McCoy I go every chance I get like you said in your videos it like heaven on earth for people that love powersports
Love to see you do a video on the subject of being prepared and equipment. Maybe a UTV load out to include rider gear, recovery gear, tools, spare parts for the rzr guys 😂, and the things that just make life easier on the trail.
Awesome video dude well shot and edited. Hope i get mine to look this good. Plus thx for taking care of my friends NY Mike and Wendy. Glad all turned out well.
Glad you enjoyed it. Not as exciting as some but that’s the way it goes sometimes. We never leave a man down, Mike would of done the same for any of us. Wendy always had a smile on her face, even when she needs to crawl out a window… lol 😂
Love the content keep up the good work
Thanks! Stoked you enjoy the content. Loads more in the works.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd no problem much love
Great footage, love Royal Blue! Also keep pushing that FinnTrail! I have Waders, boots and jacket and absolutely love how comfortable it is to wear all day on the trails. Best investment for my riding (besides a winch) i have made. Its not cheap, but cheap aint good!
Awesome video and great attitude
Thanks Darryl, glad you liked the video. We are all out there to have a good time so even when things don’t play out the best we still try to keep it positive. It’s all part of the game.
Thanks for the videos and shouting out the equipment and gear that you use.
Great video as usual!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Congrats on the little tricycle motor!
Huh?
That mud riding is what im all about, that and Muskeg. Love it haha.
I hope you dont lose Mike for future rides
I don’t think we could if we tried Mark, nor would we want to lol. He’ll be back over and over I’m guessing.
This is how the majority of our trips go. You really don’t need a lot of tools to completely tear down a machine on the trail. You just need to know what gear you need for your machine and a little know how. A lot of guys are surprised when you do a quick cv boot swap out during a trail side snack break. Sure wrecks a trip if you’re out of commission on day one of a trip because you have to take it to the dealer for repairs.
Ya, I agree. I feel that if you want to ride advanced or harder terrain you need to have at least a basic level of mechanical skills. I don't mind doing trail side repairs when something breaks, I consider it part of the experience. As long as you have the basic necessities to get it done you can easily salvage your day or even your weekend. If anyone in the group needs help and I can assist I always will. Getting things fixed quickly and properly benefits everyone in the group.
I found your channel a week or so ago and it’s has become my favorite. One thing thing that sets you apart is your video editing with how you cut your videos to show 1 obstacle from different angles.
Hey man, happy you are enjoying the channel and thanks for subscribing. I'm glad to hear you like the editing and multiple camera angles. You've got a lot of videos to watch to get caught up, lol. Lot's more new stuff on the way too!
That was wicked ride
We had a ton of fun Jim. Not the most exciting ride to film and not the best weather to ride in but still an awesome time overall.
I hope you guys are ok there. The fire is wreaking havoc on Canada. To our friends to the north, God bless and be safe.
awesome video Julian ! The trails look awesome there ! Looks like you lucked out having your #Finntrail gear on aswell !!
Thanks Don! Ya, the Finntrail was gettin a workout on this trip! We would not have been as happy without it. Checked out a few of your WV videos recently. Looks like you guy had fun too!
@AdrenalineJunkieProd we had a awesome time ! Sunshine for all 5 days we rode actually. It started to rain at 5 o'clock at night on our last day right when we were washing the machines up to come home . Videos are slowly coming from the trip....unfortunately work takes up my time from getting them edited..lol
Your finntrail got a workout on this ride. Good luck washing your machine for border inspection.
New and improved battle wagon is awesome.
Thanks Tony! Glad you like all the changes. I’m really pleased with how it all turned out.
I’m watching your Tennessee video now and it looks great all muddy! Lol! And yes my dog rides with me all the time.
And that’s what trail riding is, ride whatever the trail provides.
Battle Wagon 3.0 looks Sick1 Its was cool hearing that You're an RN. I'm a 14 year RN myself here in Arkansas.
Great job guys
Love the new look but waiting on the cfmoto action!!!!!!
Thanks!! Glad you like it. CFMOTO action is comin!
Rough night for Mike. I feel his pain. Hard not to get frustrated when things go bad. Floped my machine over one day, no big deal. Next day i slipped off a "bridge" and had a pretty hard landing, busted up the machine. I didn't take it as well as Mike did. I got it home patched it up and hey, its just paint metal and plastic. I won't forget that ride anytime soon :)
Ya it was a rough one for him but in hindsight nothing serious happened. No serious or overly expensive damage and no one got hurt. We had him up and running at 100% the next morning like you’ll see in the video from day 2.
WOW!!!!
Sloppy day!! lol!
Hey, we're waiting on some new content. 🍿. Let's see some mud slinging, axle breaking carnage.
When are you going to release day 2 video of Royal Blue ride
First weekend in June is the Pioneer Takeover we go to that every year.
I'd love to go. Maybe next year. We are expecting our little one mid June so I can't go so far away so close to the due date.
Good morning everyone, it's January 1st 2024, yes watching again 😂, Happy New Year to you all.
I'd love to do a trip south with y'all 🎉, enjoy and Best Wishes to you all 🎉❤😅
Dogs are a must. My great dane isn't a utv girl but my blue healer always comes.
This is the kind of crew I want to ride with
For me being a mud guy that looks like a blast
Great content, sir. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Thanks Danny! Glad you enjoyed it. Next episode should be a bit more action backed as we ride some better trails in nicer weather.
This night ride looked fun, imagine it could be really fun with night vision goggles. I really like riding blacked out at night with them, or with supplemented UV light if no moon. But its also cool to ride with a group and tons of lights and colors
Can’t say I’ve ever tried that. But it would be awesome. Guess I need to get some night vision goggles lol.
I've spent my fair share of nights like this in my 570 lol glad all is ok though
Also, if you ever come to Western Canada (ab/BC) please let me know. This is my riding grounds and id love to join you and show you sometrails!
By the way, nice job keeping Mike calm. Question: why didn't you guys install one of those new axles Mike had strapped to his machine, while you had it apart? Was it because of the axle part still stuck in the rear diff? What tool would you use to remove that?
Also this was a great reminder to not only carry spare parts but the tools to change them.
Thanks man, it's easy to get flustered after a roll. It's the crews job to help get the person in a tough spot back on track. We couldn't get the axle cup out of the transmission. There is a tool called an "axle magic" that is made for removing them. It's basically a fancy slide hammer. I just have a set of vice grips at home that I welded a big slide hammer too, that works well also. You can buy a set of vice grips with a slide hammer on them but they are a rip off so I just made some. We knew if we kept going we would be asking for more trouble so we just decided to double back since it wasn't far from the road and we fixed it all in the morning back at camp. We usually carry an "axle magic" with us or the vice grip slide hammer cause a spare axle is no good if you cant get the old pieces out.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd thanks for the reply.
@@Indianahillclimber My pleasure man. It's no fun commenting to yourself, lol!
I know exactly where you were at… I turn over on the bypass where you were at.
GOOD decision turning around and going back.
Great job on the video….
grt trails n footage!! i lov ridin when its overcast. good job keepn ur boy calm too, as for FT how they treated me was disgraceful. i nned your skills, my front outter cv boot is off n grease is on my rim, that doesnt mean the joint is bad right, just need to re pack n seal? n steering column is clicking......n last if rad is full do i still need to top off the overflow to min? (cold) ty
Hey hey. Stoked you enjoyed the ride. I love riding in bad weather too lol. As for the FT thing that shocks me. They are known for having very good customer service. Was it just one bad incident you had? I’ve never had anyone comment about an issue like that before. What happened? If the boot is off I’d remove the axle and clean the joint out really well. Inspect the boot for damage. If it’s not damaged and it’s just a failed clamp repack it with CV grade grease and reinstall the boot properly. Are you sure it’s the steering column clicking? Could be a bad ujoint in the column. Not much else could be wrong. The rad being full doesn’t mean the level is proper. Go based off the cold fill line on the reservoir.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd hey boss, yea they sent all wrong sizes, ( i aso didnt kno can uses us female sided zippers) that i can live with but not wrong sizes, then were so rude n sarcastic, then i paid to return n was charged! thnks for tech info, i tool wheel off n it seems boot is firmly ON, grease squeezed out somehow, the odd thing is, as i jack it up from center the good wheel remails on the ground the bad one raises up, this is bad they should stay or lift at the same rate, so i assume something is bound up, but wheel spins fine.....wheel on it has a bit of play not sure if thats normal or bearing, wheel off hub has no play....column- u joint is part of that right? i hav NOWHERE to take it where i live...my can chain i think came off on atv n wont run under throttle, n all rad fluid is low on all 3 lol n btw front shocks blew on 1 n rear WE shocks blew on the other after very low miles! done w/ polaris! Polaris CS told me I shouldnt b taking my machine OFF RD?!!?!?
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd cleaned boot n found a tiny slit, clip was still on tight....if joint was bad what does it feel like, grinding n wont turn? grease was slightly silver metalic thought that was bad idk....steering made no clks in the air then when lowered clks loud......but jack in cntr, hood was level n the leaky side wheel was 3 inches higher than the other that isnt good.... to swap boot i havto remove tie rod right? ty for ur help
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd where u at bro?
Release the clamp of the axle boot at the wheel then remove the axle. Drive in 4X4. Then repair. Simple.
If you remove the axle nut at the hub it will come apart and need that repair also.
I have to add this about what you said at the end. I ride a 2022 BMW r1250 GSA and an older Gentleman told me after I crashed in the sand, that if you don't have a story, you didn't have a ride.
No matter the law, wearing a helmet gets you home to your mom, dad, wife,kids! Simple as that! JUST DO IT!!!!
Love Royal Blue. Great vid as usual. I'm loving BW 3.0 and ever since you bought the 950 HO EX I'm wondering how it will hold up to the abuse.
Thanks! I'm pumped with how the #BattleWagon has evolved, glad you like it. Stay tuned, I'll have some more CF MOTO content comin. We took it out on a good trail ride and let's just say it's got a few issues now, lol.
New cage is RAD, if the ride went perfect it wouldn't be as cool. Night rides are when everything breaks, but like you said, make the stories that everyone talks about around the fire.
Hey man, glad you like the new cage! Yup, it's the mishaps that usually make the best stories and some of the best memories. Like you said, night rides always have a way of spawning carnage, lol.
Awesome content man love your vids. You should get a group together and attempted the Alexander Mackenzie overland trail with sxs. It would be a cool part series
The wrap came out really good man , so u checking out the turbo r 4 seater for the family lol 😂
Thanks Ben. Glad you like it. The Turbo R and Pro R models in a 4 seater are just too big and wide for our local trails. They wouldn’t even fit in my trailer lol.
You mean trip down there, would love to ride with yall
Did I say up? Habit. Your right, the United States are down from us. Hoping to organize some group rides in the future so we can all get together, ride and shoot some video with some viewers.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd lol is southern folks are only right sometimes, we value those times lol.
great video did you have cell service out there on the trail
Thanks John. Yes, these trails at Royal Blue seem to have pretty decent cell coverage in most areas compared to some other places we have been.
Just an fyi, i took mine to a dealer in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania and they've taken the motor out and the bottom end is blown. The crank, the main bearings were loose on both cylinders and it destroyed the motor. Then i was asked when i replaced the head? I never replaced the head. I bought it brand new with 0 miles on it and i wouldnt mess with the motor. So now its just a giant paper weight needing a motor. Almost 4k for the motor and 2.4k for labor. Just thought id share this.
Battle wagon looks a little different since the last time I seen it Looks a LOT better
I wanna go this trip!!!
Awesome video.. I always reinstall the radius bolts in from the front. That way you don't have to remove caliper to change axle.. and he had 2 axles on his machine.. why not change the axle?
We couldn’t get the axle out of the transmission. We had an “axle magic” back at the house but we forgot to bring it out on the trail. Also, since it broke the way we did we wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bent trailing arm so we didn’t just destroy another axle. Since we weren’t very far from the road we decided it was best to just double back and call it a night and address the repairs properly in the morning.
Where did yall buy the exhaust cooker set I have seen in a few videos
MuffPot
I think it’s time you move to Tennessee.
If only it were that easy lol.
Would love to get in on a ride with y’all if your ever close to north Mississippi only thing is not sure a quad can keep up with y’all lol
Are you all there this weekend??? I will be riding this weekend. I would love to meet you all!! Love the videos!!
Hey Jason, this series of videos was shot in March. Unfortunately we aren't there right now, wish we were.
How many miles are on the battle wagon now? Awesome to see how strong it still goes! Any maintenance advice you care to share for making a side by side last long term like this?
So I’ve been looking at Finntrail. Now I have a birthday coming up and would like to know what you wear and why. Thanks. Plus prices so I know I’m looking at the right outfits please. Thanks again.
We still run stock 25in tires but upgraded the suspension giving about 2in lift with way better ride
What kind of machine are you running?
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd 2017 Yamaha Viking
I had a Viking before I got my RZR. I put the 2" lift on and 27" Sunf tires. It did pretty good.
In this video. Where can I find that custom front grill that says trail junkie that's on the white pro xp?
Also why is the mud that weird color?
Hey man, they mud in these areas is orange. It's orange clay. If you go riding around Georgia its more of a red clay in some areas. Here in Ontario Canada we have grey clay in a lot of areas. The colour of the dirt and mud change depending on where you are. I have a grill like that too, Jason brought me one on this trip. I'm just about to install it. It's custom laser cut. Maybe he can tell us where it's from, his buddy makes them. I'll ask him.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd thank u for asking him about it. Long time viewer! owner of 2022 polaris rzr pro xp.
Great video! what's the camera setup for the forward view is it on a gimbal? It looks like a go pro on a ram mount does it have a feature that levels the capture?
Thanks. Glad you liked it. It’s just an old GoPro 7 with hyper smooth stabilization enabled. Any of the GoPros from 7 and up don’t really need a gimbal. The digital stabilization is mind blowing.
Liked number #3
What took you so long? Two people beat you... LOL! 😉
@NYMike what is the make and model of your toy hauler and how do you like it so far? My wife and I are planning to purchase one so we can take the buggy with us everywhere. Currently have a 27foot Camper and buggy has to stay home on camping trips that don’t involve a cabin .
Hey Big Chili, I have some video and info on the Toy Hauler in an upcoming video. I got Mike to tell us a bit about it.
Forrest River 29ks rouge. Its 36' long, 8'6 wide GVWR11,600lbs
WE LOVE IT !!!
Hey AJP, ever mounted tires on rim yourself? did you use the 5 gallon bucket and some lube method?
I mount and dismount my own tires all of the time. Order yourself a "Beadbuster" Here is a video I made about it. It makes life soooo easy: th-cam.com/video/xBpj95MUiSI/w-d-xo.html
I only run beadlock wheels on my SXS's so it's a lot easier mounting and dismounting.
I bought a beadbuster because of that video. Very handy little tool
Was wondering how a person could fit in that turbo r 4 seater with such a chopped cage. But I guess if your not wearing a helmet then that gives you more room. I never ride without a helmet.
Ya, being short helps too lol. I don’t ever ride without a helmet either, if I don’t have one on it’s almost like something is missing I’m so conditioned to having one. Goin for a cruise behind your house or doin some yard work is one thing but I never “ride” without a lid. You don’t need a full face helmet but you need at least an open face. Even a minor roll can result in your head hitting the roll cage and that never ends well.
he had two axels on his machine why not just change it out?
We had no way to remove the inner. The tool was left behind by mistake. We road easy back to camp and fixed it the next morning.
Hey guys, just found out he has a Patreon. I signed up. Maybe some of you might be interested too.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I don’t really push the Patreon. A lot of people tell me I should but it feels like pan handling to me. Been raised to not ask for handouts and I know it’s not really a handout but it still kind of feels like it.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Gotta change the way you look at it man. You’re not the one getting money for free. All of your viewers are getting your videos for free though. Some of us would like the opportunity to show our appreciation, even in some small way like 3.50 a month. 👍
