Well guys - I'm in..picked up a silver 5P Deluxe on Fri.. Bolted a 4" bilge blower on Sat and that took care of the heat. Took her out to get dirty and she did not disappoint. Very happy guy here..

One quick question on the paddle shifters - should you let off the gas while shifting? Read the manual and did not see anything on it?

I try to let off a little because it will be easier on it but it's not required. If you think about it you'd have let off each shift in auto because it's the same shift either way, one is you telling it when and one is the machine but both are electronic.

Congratulations!!!! I'm really glad to hear you've got one finally!!! But you're not officially in until pictures

As far as shifting, think about the vehicle when in "auto". It doesn't let off, you stay in the gas and it bangs thru the gears! Really cool.

Its not as close as it looks - theres about 5 inches of roof clearance and if I pull it all the way up until the roof hits the side cabinets I have about 4 feet to the door so at least I can get some of the weight up forward over the axles. She towed great - I even pushed it further back once and sill did fine. Colorado ,Utah, Tenn..here we come..

Welcome to the club @txsurfer.
Love the color choice. I think that was everyone's favorite but we settled for red because it was not available.

Thanks - I am curious how the matte black wheels will hold up esp in the sand? Oh well at least UTV parts are more affordable than the boat crap I'm used to LOL..

Welcome and congrats on the buy. They are awesome machines. I see you mentioned Tenn. Give me or @drfubar or @joeymt33 a holler if you do make it over this way. We will put you on some good riding. Do a search for Bull Run to see some videos.
