What impresses me the most about this machine is the fuel economy. My Polaris 850xp 4 wheeler will go 1 day and my Teryx will go 3-4 days. The Kawasaki is very fuel efficient. Tough as nails too.

Have to agree on MPG.......have not actually clocked it yet...... but seem awful darn good.......my riding territory has no fuel stops..... so I've been dumping fuel in from a 5 gal jug...  latest addition.....my welder fab buddy designed & built this spare tire carrier......have since painted & installed on machine.. fits like a glove & very solid...tire size is 28-10x14 all four corners....... Broke the 1K mile mark today too ! oil/filter change next week ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/WBytfln.jpg)

Boy I'd love to come out there and do some riding! Are there places that would rent a SXS for a day or two out your way?
I like the spare tire idea. Where do you carry your jack and tools, do you have some kind of bin in your storage box? I wish there were more storage room on the TeryX4 but it is what it is.
Also just out of curiosity, did you do the fuel tank breather mod on yours?

JT we have a local guy that rents ATV or UTV...also jet skis Rental is $200 something daily for his Teryx4...... Carry a bottle jack & a MTM plastic 50 cal dry box with asst tools You're right....not much storage.....I've found some roof racks for $150ish may get one......accessories for these things will run you broke........

Great job on the tire carrier and the way its mounted. Smart idea to carry a spare and tools like you do, since you go so far back in them there Hills.
I just wished I had the places to ride like you do, since I am now retired I would be gone riding at least one day a week..

just turned 1K miles...65 hrs...so fresh oil & filter (3rd time) whats nice...it holds 4 quarts....$23/gallon jug...$9 Wix filter Also changed front diff gear lube...first time for it..just short of a qt Rear diff also houses the rear brake system...wet brake fluid...really just a glorified tractor hydraulic fluid...changed twice already..I'm an oil fanatic..... Plan is to change every 500 miles or so.....even gave the ole girl a bath ! Sleepin' in the garage waitin' for cooler temps... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/dWhbL9P.jpg)

Tikka one never tires of these pics.
I passed through Utah going and coming to/from a Washington bear hunt and the smoke haze was very bad. Overnighted in Ogden and came out the next morning to find the truck and windshield somewhat coated with the fallout. Has that improved any along the 1-25 corridor at all?
Keep the pics coming.

Keep the pics coming. I-15 ? fires & smoke have been very bad this summer weather system moving in this week...big high pressure system moving finally will allow T/storms to move in along with winds coming from the south smoke will get pushed elsewhere.....pic...'out my backdoor' normal skies in Utah ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Jdlelhj.jpg)

Yep, I-15. Took I-80 from east to west.
A nice rain would knock that smoke down some.

Pretty sad about the truck driver, probably fell asleep maybe, forced off of the road, had a suicide wish, or medical emergency like a heart attack? We may never know for sure.

Tikka, Great thread and pics! Nice looking machine too! I also just purchased a SXS. My first one in fact. It’s a Can am Defender 1000 3 seater. I’m pretty excited about it. Wish i was closer to you because i would love to take off on some of the rides you go on! Some beautiful country for sure. Not many places around New Orleans area to ride. I bought mine mostly for chores and such at the hunting camp but would love to go on some rides like i see you have. I hope mine serves me as well as yours has! Keep up with the thread and the pics as I’m sure I’m not the only one drooling over them! Randall
