The safety fanatics are gonna freak out when they read this thread

Not wanting a four-inch gaping hole in my leg isnt exactly being a fanatic! But then that's normally the attitude until it actually happens to somebody and then you get that " I should've listened "

It's like motorcycle helmets. Nobody wants them until they get in a wreck and their skull splits open LMAO

Not sure I've ever heard of anybody that enjoys the side nets either. Just another pita pretty much .

That I agree with. Can somebody really explain to me exactly what the purpose of a safety net is what they are trying to achieve?

Is it to stop you from falling out of it and if so isnt that what the seatbelt is for?

I've never even taken them out of the bag.

They are intended to keep your arms from getting crushed in the event of a roll over. First thing I did was take them off though.

This would be awesome to hit the creek with on a hot summer day...

I took my nets of before I ever rode it. Lol

Side nets were the first thing pulled in ours. My daughter started pulling them before I had a chance to tell her too. Hands and feet in the vehicle at all times.

Thanks to @George201074 who mentioned taking the doors off by removing the 4 bolts per door. I just did this and then took a ride. Wow! what a nice change! Here in Tennessee it's been middle to high 90's most of the last few weeks. I have added the under seat insulation offered by @Bayouownbeer and it works great and I would recommend it to everyone. So removing the doors has made a good addition to the seat insulation. I've gotten a lot of great information here and I have not read a poor thread on this forum yet, well, if you don't count mine... lol. Anyway, again I've used information received here to my advantage.

I would love the reduction in heat but the increase in mud and briars shredding me would probably offset the gains from the heat reduction.

This weekend there was mud all over the machine, but not me and no scratches even though we rode through enough briars to have pulled me off my Rincon.

Nice to know it is an option though.

Wife got that for me a few years ago. I've actually had people that have never been to the house stop at the sign and call us to make sure they were on the right driveway... lol

That's the words of youth. I said that too. Then you grow old and after getting banged and busted and your knees are shot and your hips ache and your... Well u get the point.

My body is now paying the price and cashing in on those youthful live dangerously checks.

I'm 55. The days of riding with reckless abandonment are long gone.

I'll be 64 in two weeks... WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just looked at your profile, I'll be, you ARE 64!

Well in my defense, I just said they were words of the youth, not spoken from the youth

Easy cowboy... I'm not 64 till the 26th... lol

 

[CumminsPusher]

64 is awesome. I'm not sure too many people around here that are riding hard like that. I think they grow people tougher out that way.

 

[moparornocar]

Pulled my doors too, too bad it's been sitting for 2 weeks, no time to ride. The trails we ride are wide open and more than half old railroad beds. 12 ft wide and straight as an arrow.

I ride with a guy that's 80, and everybody up here knows how crazy this old boy is in his sxs. I hope I'm still hitting the trails when I'm 80. 21 more years to perfect my skills, and be the old man of legend up here.

Guess I'm the only one that occasionally uses the door net. Wife kept complaining of being hit with branches during pioneer takeover. So I cut the cable ties and put hers down for her. It really helps with that.
