It's just the fact of the matter. Sure weaker straight axles do fail it's not on the order of magnitude of CV axles. SXS are s just built so cheesy, yeah the suspension looks so fancy and hi tech, yet it's not fit for substantial offroading. To me it's like they use 4x4 quad steering and suspension parts then they multiply the weight and horsepower.

The manufactures compete on those criteria so that is where the money goes. Unfortunately the average consumer wont pay 120K for an SXS so something else has to be done on a budget.

@@sjsmith801I LOVE unconventional off-roaders. My mums friend (who sadly passed away in a motorcycle accident before I was born) used to have a Toyota Hilux that he took the cab off and put a Celica shell on top of. It was magnificent although I only got to see it in person after the engine had been pulled and it had been picked for parts (some of which were used for an identical concept but it was an old van instead of a celica). Apparently it was so light with the cab swapped that when they put upgraded suspension in it the front end would bounce into the air over bumps and so his favourite trick became bouncing the front and flooring it into a massive wheelie with the rear of the frame scraping on the dirt. Of course he bent the chassis doing this when it came back down so bent it back with a forklift and some chains and welded scaffolding tubes into the frame rails to make it stiffer.

You're never flyin' solo, when Peanut is along for the ride! The shots of Peanut riding in the ATV were priceless... although I was a bit worried a jackalope or gila monster on the trail might cause the pup to jump out to investigate. I grew up with a border collie. She was very smart... except when she spotted any small critter. Then she'd turn off the brain and go into 100% chase mode. We had to pull porculine quills out of her snout and bathe her for getting skunked a number of times each. The worst was when her tail got caught on a barbed wire fence she tried to hurdle while chasing something. She ended up hanging from the fence. She lived to be about 18 years old, in spite of her death wish whenever she spotted a small critter.

We take the side by side on rocky trails all the time. It's definitely a skill issue because we don't drive it like we stole it and don't have issues with all the things breaking. We also *didn't* buy a Polaris, and that likely contributes to the lack of breakdowns.

@johnchedsey1306 14 күн бұрын
I recently got a 2020 Honda Civic SI, which I found to be a sweet spot between older and newer cars. It's a six speed manual, but also has a good touchscreen infotainment system. I really do like having Android Auto for navigation and listening to music. Plus the adaptive cruise control has generally been nice. But thankfully it has a physical knob for the volume control and of course, the manual transmission. I've seen some newer cars where too much is done through the touchscreen, which seems dangerous and bad news if the screen dies. I totally get where you're coming from!

Hey Matt, instead of carrying bolts that can be welded on, maybe carry some small pieces of angle iron. The bolt is harder steel, but angle could give more support around a bigger area, and 2 pieces of angle could fully surround the broken tie rod.

The access point for the "towing eye" or the recovery screw in attachment is that square in the front bumper @ 11:30 (you are almost pointing at it. The Prius makes a great "off roader" with 5.5 inches of ground clearance and traction control that when it detects slippage kills power to the wheel. insuring you are stuck

There are two, one on each side for your nautical eye of recovery. There are caps hiding them, so they might be hard for someone of Matt’s stature to locate.

I firmly believe that the designers of new vehicles are much like the designers of websites. They take a perfectly usable system and play with it until it doesn't work properly any more, or it is so clumsy and annoying you just don't want to use it. They give you features you don't want and don't need, truly believing that they are giving you a better experience. They don't live in the real world and seemingly have no experience as the "user" of a product.

Independent suspension is great for everything, but rock crawling. It is possible to build an incredible bulletproof rock crawler with full independent suspension, but you need to be a great engineer and be willing to spend at least 10 times as much money to do it.

Hey Matt, I don't usually comment but since I enjoy your channel so I figured I would take the time to say thank you and to leave you a little easter egg on the Prius. So, there is a Tow Hook point on the front bumper behind the small center mounted cap. Also, I believe the Tow Hook is located in the rear truck area just atop the Spare Tire. Hope that helps! The Lord bless you!
