Way back in December of '24 I bought a Viper Machine shifter for our RZR Turbo R but life and a move got in the way. Six months went by and I have to admit I also procrastinated this job a few times knowing what a pain it was going to be to take the console out.  The other day I was perusing through threads on rzrforums.net and came across a post by user mikwallace that showed how to do this job much easier and faster by drilling a hole in the shift tunnel panel and filling it with a...

Before my trip to Moab, I had to get my machine street legal so I could drive to and from all the trails. My go-to has been WD Electronics for the last few years.

A few weeks ago, our riding buddy Todd experienced an unfortunate event up by Red Cone in...
