Great stuff!

Where is Winnemucca (and how do you pronounce it?)

great pics! My wife is really looking close at those Rzrs.. do you enjoy yours/ recommend buying one? We're in a 2.2 ecotec buggy now (too much car for her), and a Rzr is a big step down, but I've heard they're lots of fun and easy to drive..

winnemucca is a couple hours north of reno nevada. I live near boise idaho. and it is 3.5 to 4 hours from me headed south. the rzr s is my buddys. He originally bought the regular rzr last year. then the rzr s came out and i talked him into swtiching. the rzrs is a much better unit with factory longtravel. better tires and mmore power. It drives very easy and the suspension is very plush. It is to soft for aggresive jumping even the mild jumping i was doing was bottoming it out. but my buddy and his wife are not as aggresive as i am so it works good for them. I have a ridge runner that i love. the only upside the the rzr s over my buggy is the 4x4. but it is a very rare occasion where that is a disadvantage. the snow and mud is usually it. every once in a while we run on trails that have loose hill climbs with out a run at them and have to go slow. then the 4x4 helps. but on the whole they are both capable machines in the right hands.

Nice pics, I've spent many a day out there waiting for fires to break. To bad I didn't have my buggy out there with me. Looks like the sand was in great shape.

Hey, great pics. I just recently purchased a 2005 Ridge Runner and see where yours has side panels on it. I am looking for some pics of how yours was enclosed around the side bar that opens for entry. At least mine does. I want to put sides and front cover on mine and was wondering if you have any pics of how your's is done. Any info is greatly apprteciated.
Man I love this buggy. We took it to Little Sahara this last weekend and could not be happier.
Thanks again!
