Hey, I added an backup camera to the bumblebee and leave it on all the time, it really adds to the ability to see what’s behind me when going down the road/trail. Purchased the backup via Amazon, wireless one for $80.00. Also added the EZflares to the front, which allows me to maintain the 50” width and it reduce the mud and water by 75%, with the cheap automotive mud flaps to the front.
I came back to your channel to source a cargo box for our trails. I thought that I had previously seen a Husky tool box in your unit, but I could be wrong. I was disappointed to see that you had a Ryfab box in the back, but thats my opinion. Aside from the kings ransom they charge for it and after the horrible experience I had with Ryfab products and their go F yourself customer service, I wouldn't cross the street to do any business with them or ever recommend them to any atver I might meet. Anyway, I totally agree about the Terra Bite tires. They are awesome all around performers and a good value to boot. The mud flap addition is a must. It doesn't take long for the tail lights to get encrusted with crud and the mud flaps really help with that. Lastly, the Seizmic Mirrors are a must over the poor Can-Am mirrors and those folks stand behind their stuff.
I never had a husky box. I bought the Ryfab box as soon as it came out back in 2018. Back then they were “reasonably” priced compared to other options and their quality was outstanding. Fast forward a few years and their prices skyrocketed, their quality went to shit, and their waiting list was ridiculous. I haven’t recommended Ryfab for years because of this. But at the time and the price I paid I would buy this box again. It’s amazing. Ryfab is no more. They closed their doors a while back. There was talk of RMATV absorbing the brand, but apparently that didn’t happen. Supply chain issues, personnel issues, among other things killed of the brand, along with many other self inflicted problems.
Thanks for the video, started watching all your stuff. Me and my wife are looking at getting a side by side and live in Utah. Your videos are helping down the rabbit hole
You've done a great job on accessorizing your machine. All very practical, yet look great. Couldn't help but notice the oxidation on your mirrors. You may already know this, but there's a product called "Wipe New" that takes that oxidation off and makes your plastic look new again. It lasts for quite awhile and leaves no residue. It's not a silicone product, so it doesn't collect dust either. It smells like ammonia when you open the bottle, but after you apply it to the plastic, it smells like bubble gum - lol. I've even used it on my colored body panels and it made them look amazing! Good video. Thanx for sharing.
Great video and an even greater channel!!! I am a newbie to the SXS world at age 65. Your informational videos and your adventures videos are absolutely top shelf. My 2022 Maverick Trail 1000 arrived yesterday after a wait of over 2 months since I put a deposit on it. After watching your videos, I feel like I’m not going into this adventure blind or alone. Thank you so very much. As soon as my garage warms up a bit, (it’s a tad chilly here in the Treasure Valley) I’m going outside to do my first mod on it. Rear splash guards! LOL.
That is so cool ! Congratulations on your new machine ! If you're on Facebook check out the group "Can-Am Maverick Trail". There lots of helpful people on there that can help you spend your money on accessories. 👍 We appreciate you being a part of our channel, and we appreciate the kind words. Welcome to the SXS world.
Great video and information. Stumbled onto your channel a year ago. Found an 800 trail up for repo auction. Bought it very right. 100 miles on it. Quickly did the battery upgrade and O'riellys mud flap modification (best $15 spent). Pandemic hit, someone wanted the rig waaay more than I did, so I sold it. Needed any extra time to do a complete home renovation. Now I'm ready for 1000 trail. Anxious to see the side by side of the 2021 machine. Keep up the great work. Appreciate your style and integrity. Big Cat
Thanks for the listing. You have upgraded your rig the right way, at least I think so. You have given me the inspiration to buy the Can Am Trail over the Polaris. I bought the 2021 can am trail also this November. Thanks again for you time of putting your parts list in this video.
Thanks for the great videos. Had a 2019 X3 XRC turbo R, sold it and picked up a 2021 RZR Trail Ultimate. Reason is the 50 inch trails are the best trails. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for these videos! We found your channel last fall when we bought a 2019 Maverick Trail 1000 DPS. Lucky for us the previous owner had already purchased the Ryfab storage box! We absolutely love it too! We also have their fold down window and love it as well! I've picked up the Rotopax arms from Ryfab, but haven't bought any of the rotopax accessories yet. We still have the stock tires and they are junk like you say. We need to replace those too. Anyway, I just realized while watching this video we live in the same area, I drive past Ryfab everyday too! LOL Crazy! Anyway, keep up the good stuff!
That's awesome ! Thank You for watching 👍 If you're on Facebook check out the "Can-Am Maverick Trail" group. Lots of good folks with helpful info on there. 👍
Glad to see your machine is holding up so well. Just got a 2021 800 DPS. I have spent 3 weekends adding all the accessories I wanted. Still deciding if I want a roof rack or not. I got the aluminum Dragonfire roof and it's not flat like yours. Makes the roof rack more of a challenge.
Thank you once again for a very informative video! Love all the mods on the machine. I’m so looking forward to owning a MT. March 12th is moving day to Utah from Illinois...😉
Hi again, you mentioned the tube diameter of the roll cage for that install of the Tusk scissor jack. Did you have to get a different size clamp other than the one that comes with the jack kit? Thanks
If I remember right there were a few options for the clamp size at purchase. I just got the one that fit. I don't remember which one, but I had to use the rubber piece between the clamp and cage to make it fit (the rubber piece came with the clamp). It was installed a few years ago and hasn't budged a bit, very solid mount. I did wrap a big zip tie around the mount and Jack just to make sure that it wouldn't fall on my head if the Jack came out of the mount. It hasn't, but the zip tie makes me feel better.
Great review! I am thinking about selling my 2016 Brute force atv and buying a 2023 Can Am Maverick Trail 1000. It would be for 80% hunting and just 20% trail riding. I like the 50" model and the comfort of an enclosed cabin. I am just wondering if i would miss my atv. Any opinion?
I still really enjoy riding my ATV. The Maverick Trail is way more comfortable, and long 100 mile days don't beat me up nearly as bad as a long day on the ATV. But I really do enjoy riding my ATV now and then. I guess my answer is that you'll love and appreciate the MT for its comfort and capability, but yeah, you will miss your ATV occasionally.
Are your tires stock size? I'd like to upgrade in size, but also want to keep it at 50". I've seen some of those tight trail gates you need to squeeze thru!
Great channel, started watching last year when we got 2019 800 trail. We really like your setup. Couple of questions when you have time, will ryfab cargo box fit with the can am rack extensions that we installed? Did tusk tires need spacers don’t want to push the 50 inch rule and have you put a lift kit for clearance or thinking of it. Thanks from your neighbor in Montana
Not sure which extension you are talking about. The one that tilts up, or the one that attaches to the rear of the bed (like a tailgate)? If it's either of those it won't work. Box is too tall for the flip up and the rear extension will kind of fit, but will block the latches to the cargo box. Not sure if that answers your question... My tires are 27x9-12 on all 4 corners with stock wheels, no spacers. Did not increase overall stock width, it just moved the widest point to the front axle instead of the rear (front is now about 1/2 inch wider than the rear, no biggie). Have no issues getting through 50 inch gates here in Idaho and Utah. No lift kit. Most of the lift kits are shock bracket style lifts and from what I hear it really stiffens up the ride. I prefer low and soft. Best way to gain lift without sacrificing ride quality is go a larger diameter tire in my opinion. 👍
Ok thanks , the rack extension just goes along the edge of box doesn’t interfere with the interior I think ryfab box would mount. Thanks for responding
Water packs are 1 gallon each. The storage bag between the seats is a Can Am accessory. I actually really like it, more than I thought I would. Links for everything is in the description. Thanks for watching !
Great info on your Maverick, both on the accessories and on its performance in this and other videos! I watched your Wallace 3 part and have a question what happened to your dog? he was in the trailer but not in the Can am? With the back rack on your Trail would a large dog, not as big as a German shepherd but close, have room to ride back there?
Our rack is always full as well as the cargo box, so we just don't have room to put her. She doesn't have much interest in going anyway. She'd rather just nap all day in the trailer.
My machine came with them. I believe starting in 2020 they started shipping without them. My sons 2021 did not have them. We did an install video for his lights here: ua-cam.com/video/llGyMyAa6zM/v-deo.htmlsi=WDX4UoI5TJTtWf9P
Several reasons really. We wear helmets and goggles, so a windshield isn't necessary. They create a negative airspace behind them that pulls dust into the cab. People buy them to reduce dust, but I think they make the dust worse. They also make the cab hot in the Summer. I have considered many times getting a fold down windshield (Ryfab, Tusk, or Razorback Off-road) just to have a windshield that I could put up when it rains, but leave folded down most of the time, but really just don't need it. I hear a lot of people complain about the dust, the noise, and the heat and in every case they have a windshield in their machine, removing it solves all of those problems.
Thanks much for all the details. At 8:32 you show but don't mention a wrap of rope on the front. Looks like a significant length so what is it? Thanks!
Long answer:So, that goes back to our ATV days in Moab. We all had lengths of rope tied to the front. Going up and over a steep obstacle we would string out that rope and others would keep it tight as the machine went up the obstacle. Not to help pull it up, but to keep tension to keep the ATV from flipping over backwards. We used it for other things here and there, but that was the primary purpose of it. When I sold a few ATVs I had the rope laying around, so I just tied a piece to the front of the MT. We've only taken it to Moab once and really didn't need the rope, but now it just seems like a handy place to store a length of rope. Ya just never know when you might need it. Short answer: just a piece of rope just in case I need it. 😆👍
Back when I had the 27 inch tires on my MT (like it is in this video) I had to remove the spare tire carrier completely to get it in the garage. It's not hard to do. Remove two nuts and pull the pin and it comes right off. Now that my MT has 29 inch tires it won't fit in there at all, even with the spare tire carrier removed, so I just haul it on a trailer towed behind the toy hauler. It's easier that way for me anyway since I don't have to remove or modify anything. Jr's machine still fits in the garage, so that's usually how we haul them. His machine in the garage and ours on a trailer towed behind.
@@MyATVlife Hey I really appreciate your reply and honesty on your channel. I have a 10' garage in 5th wheel so your reply helps with selection of options! Hope to run into you all on the trails in the future!
I really enjoy your videos, I do have a question. I've added the rock sliders below my doors and wonder if the machine will fit through the gates on the trails that you like to ride. Thanks!
On the Paiute trails I'd say no. I have around an inch of wiggle room through most of the gates and no wiggle room through a few of them. Rock sliders put your machine at around 54 inches, I'd guess most of the gates on the Paiute are 53 or less. Arapeen system also has a few very tight 50 inch gates. I'm around 51 inches at the widest point, and there were a few gates I could barely squeak through.
@@MyATVlife thanks, not a problem to remove, I've ridden a couple of trails in NC where I could have used full skid plates. The sliders saved my frame. Again thanks!
Enjoyed your video. I have a rzr trail. Looking at new machines. Heard you reference rzr in your video. Why did you choose BRP (and son) over rzr? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I liked the seating position of the Can Am better. More low and laid back. The whole cabin just felt bigger and more comfortable. Also the MT just seemed to have a lot better fit and finish. If I was buying a new machine now I may make a different choice now that the new RZR Trails are out, hard to say.
Mine is electronically governed at 62 mph. I've only had it that fast once, just to see if it'd do it. It's capable of much faster, but the engine just cuts off power at 62 and won't accelerate past that.
I do 👍 Several people in our group run them on their 800's. They are a bit heavier than stock, but barely noticeable. You may notice a tad slower acceleration, but unless you're really concerned with your 0-60 times I don't think it'll be an issue.
I feel ya there. I still really love riding my ATV. If I could only have one I'm not sure which I'd choose either. Biggest benefits for the Maverick is that you can carry two people together in one machine and get about the same fuel mileage as an ATV. And riding in the MT for 100+ miles I don't feel nearly as beat up as 100+ miles on an ATV. But ATVs are just easier to maneuver, and get out of tight spots than a SXS. There are still some trails that I won't take my Maverick Trail on that I'd do on my ATV no problem. We're hoping to add another ATV to our fleet soon just cuz my wife does miss her ATV, but she does love the MT. Seriously tuff call, but you really can't go wrong either way. 👍
@@MyATVlife I have a Grizzly, an Outlander and a Viking. Selling the Outlander, possibly trading in the Grizzly for the XTP Max because Grizzly too short and keeping the Viking for the three seats.
27x9-12 tires on all 4 corners will fit on your stock wheels and will give you about 1/2 inch of increased ground clearance. I'm a big fan of my Tusk Terrabites. Over 3400 mikes on them now and still perform great. If you want to step up to a 14 inch wheel you could fit a 28 inch tire easily. 30's will fit, but will rub at full lock.
I also have Tusk Terrabites on my RZR 900 S. I hear a lot of comments being made about "airing down" when riding rough, rocky, trails. My tires are normally kept at 10lbs (F) and 14lbs (R) which might be on the too firm side. What pressures do you air down to during most of your rides?
I've found 11 front and 13 rear gives me a good balance between decent traction and even wear. Traction does improve quite a bit with lower air pressure, but I can't stand the sidewall flex, so I keep mine aired up a bit. I have a lot of weight on the back of my rig now or I could probably get away with 12 or 11.
Apparently Ryfab is going thru some type of transition right now. We ordered our Maverick Trail in sep 2020 and just received it 2 months ago and ordered the roof when we ordered it. Very impressed with the quality of ryfab. We have now placed an order by e-mail for the cargo box and storage rack
Hard to say. I know they've pretty much given up on answering their phones and email. I think they're so far behind and are having a hard time getting and keeping employees that they just don't seem interested in taking on more work. Just my opinion. I hate to badmouth them because I love their products, but their prices have gone crazy and their customer service has just disappeared.
@@MyATVlife yeah,that’s what we’re experiencing. There quality is awesome. We placed a large order and got confirmation in June and was told 12 weeks. I’m trying to get any shipping info to work with travel plans as I want to be home for the shipment as there is a porch pirate problem in my area.
I wish I had better info for you. From what I hear orders are being sent out eventually, but nobody can get ahold of them for updates. To be fair, if they did answer the phone it would be tons of people every day wondering where there order is. All I can say is it's coming, just no way of knowing when.
@@MyATVlife Thank You for that info,We just hope we get a shipping notification when the order ships. Hope to join you on one of your trips. Great videos. Take care, Bob & Jule’s
No link because I don't think they show them on their website, but their made by Ryfab. They are specific to their cargo boxes for each machine. If you have a Ryfab rear cargo box you can probably contact Ryfab directly about getting some Rotopax mounts for your box.
@@MyATVlife wow... That is impressive! Any plans on updating to a new ride or you going to keep going with this? I actually had the same yr as you and did some install videos but sold it.. now I want another 50" but I don't like that they removed the toggle switches and turf mode.. been looking at the new rzr trail ultimate but Polaris makes me nervous lol.
I don't plan on updating to a new rig any time soon. We're hoping to add another ATV to the fleet soon, but no plans on getting rid of the MT. The fact that the rear locker is gone is a huge deal to me too. So much so that I would consider a RZR Trail before a Maverick Trail again. We've had several Polaris ATVs in the past and they've always been very reliable for us. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Polaris.
Much appreciated. Do you know if you can order direct from them? I tried calling their number but no luck. Keep up the great videos! Just purchased a used 2021 Maverick Trail and your videos are really knowledgeable and helpful!
They haven't accepted orders directly for about a year, it's all been through RMATV. I've heard the business is up for sale. If it doesn't sell it will close soon, at the end of the year is the rumor.
And we subscribe to you. I enjoy watching you Southerners ride. Gives us northerners something to look forward to while we're snowed in. Congratulations on the new machine ! Can't wait to see your adventures with it. 👍
Tooooo Muchhhhhh detail! A little less detail would make the videos more interesting. And yes Ryfab makes some very good looking products. iam waiting for my dealer to get my trail model in sometime in June.

I have considered many times getting a fold down windshield (Ryfab, Tusk, or Razorback Off-road) just to have a windshield that I could put up when it rains, but leave folded down most of the time, but really just don't need it. I hear a lot of people complain about the dust, the noise, and the heat and in every case they have a windshield in their machine, removing it solves all of those problems.
The Sedona rock a billy looks almost the same as terabytes?
Did you look at Rick a billy too?
I did. But they didn't have the size I was looking for. The Rock a Billy tire does look like a great tire though
Thanks much for all the details. At 8:32 you show but don't mention a wrap of rope on the front. Looks like a significant length so what is it? Thanks!
Long answer:So, that goes back to our ATV days in Moab. We all had lengths of rope tied to the front. Going up and over a steep obstacle we would string out that rope and others would keep it tight as the machine went up the obstacle. Not to help pull it up, but to keep tension to keep the ATV from flipping over backwards. We used it for other things here and there, but that was the primary purpose of it. When I sold a few ATVs I had the rope laying around, so I just tied a piece to the front of the MT. We've only taken it to Moab once and really didn't need the rope, but now it just seems like a handy place to store a length of rope. Ya just never know when you might need it.
Short answer: just a piece of rope just in case I need it. 😆👍
@@MyATVlife - Thanks sir!
Curious, when you haul in the 10 foot guarge in you trail do you remove the spare tire carrier or just remove the tire.
Back when I had the 27 inch tires on my MT (like it is in this video) I had to remove the spare tire carrier completely to get it in the garage. It's not hard to do. Remove two nuts and pull the pin and it comes right off. Now that my MT has 29 inch tires it won't fit in there at all, even with the spare tire carrier removed, so I just haul it on a trailer towed behind the toy hauler. It's easier that way for me anyway since I don't have to remove or modify anything. Jr's machine still fits in the garage, so that's usually how we haul them. His machine in the garage and ours on a trailer towed behind.
@@MyATVlife Hey I really appreciate your reply and honesty on your channel. I have a 10' garage in 5th wheel so your reply helps with selection of options! Hope to run into you all on the trails in the future!
I really enjoy your videos, I do have a question. I've added the rock sliders below my doors and wonder if the machine will fit through the gates on the trails that you like to ride. Thanks!
On the Paiute trails I'd say no. I have around an inch of wiggle room through most of the gates and no wiggle room through a few of them. Rock sliders put your machine at around 54 inches, I'd guess most of the gates on the Paiute are 53 or less. Arapeen system also has a few very tight 50 inch gates. I'm around 51 inches at the widest point, and there were a few gates I could barely squeak through.
@@MyATVlife thanks, not a problem to remove, I've ridden a couple of trails in NC where I could have used full skid plates. The sliders saved my frame. Again thanks!
Enjoyed your video. I have a rzr trail. Looking at new machines. Heard you reference rzr in your video. Why did you choose BRP (and son) over rzr? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I liked the seating position of the Can Am better. More low and laid back. The whole cabin just felt bigger and more comfortable. Also the MT just seemed to have a lot better fit and finish. If I was buying a new machine now I may make a different choice now that the new RZR Trails are out, hard to say.
What is your top speed ? The pioneer is only 45 miles per hour , well the 700 , no idea on the 1000 pioneer speed
Mine is electronically governed at 62 mph. I've only had it that fast once, just to see if it'd do it. It's capable of much faster, but the engine just cuts off power at 62 and won't accelerate past that.
Do you think those size tires would well on the 800 Trail? Thanks.
I do 👍
Several people in our group run them on their 800's. They are a bit heavier than stock, but barely noticeable. You may notice a tad slower acceleration, but unless you're really concerned with your 0-60 times I don't think it'll be an issue.
@@MyATVlife thanks for the reply….
Not sure if I want a Maverick trail or the Outlander XT-P yet.
I feel ya there. I still really love riding my ATV. If I could only have one I'm not sure which I'd choose either. Biggest benefits for the Maverick is that you can carry two people together in one machine and get about the same fuel mileage as an ATV. And riding in the MT for 100+ miles I don't feel nearly as beat up as 100+ miles on an ATV. But ATVs are just easier to maneuver, and get out of tight spots than a SXS. There are still some trails that I won't take my Maverick Trail on that I'd do on my ATV no problem.
We're hoping to add another ATV to our fleet soon just cuz my wife does miss her ATV, but she does love the MT. Seriously tuff call, but you really can't go wrong either way. 👍
@@MyATVlife I have a Grizzly, an Outlander and a Viking. Selling the Outlander, possibly trading in the Grizzly for the XTP Max because Grizzly too short and keeping the Viking for the three seats.
Stock tire are poor as you point out---and about 25". What can i do for tire size increase and what tire do you prefer?
27x9-12 tires on all 4 corners will fit on your stock wheels and will give you about 1/2 inch of increased ground clearance. I'm a big fan of my Tusk Terrabites. Over 3400 mikes on them now and still perform great.
If you want to step up to a 14 inch wheel you could fit a 28 inch tire easily. 30's will fit, but will rub at full lock.
Rock sliders?
Rock sliders would make my. Machine too wide to fit through most of the gates I need to go through.
What size rotopac’s are you running on your brackets off your cargo box?
Just one gallon packs
@@MyATVlife will those mounts handle the 1.75 pacs? Trying to communicate with RyFab has been challenging. Thanks Bob
You would have to drill new holes for the pack mounts to position them a little higher, but it works. I've seen it done. 👍
I also have Tusk Terrabites on my RZR 900 S. I hear a lot of comments being made about "airing down" when riding rough, rocky, trails. My tires are normally kept at 10lbs (F) and 14lbs (R) which might be on the too firm side. What pressures do you air down to during most of your rides?
I've found 11 front and 13 rear gives me a good balance between decent traction and even wear. Traction does improve quite a bit with lower air pressure, but I can't stand the sidewall flex, so I keep mine aired up a bit. I have a lot of weight on the back of my rig now or I could probably get away with 12 or 11.
@@MyATVlife Thanks. The sidewall concern is one I didn't think about. I think I'll stick with my current pressure.
Where did you get the mounts for your rotopac water jugs off your ryfab cargo box?
I mentioned that in the video. They are made by Ryfab and are specific to their cargo boxes. 👍
Apparently Ryfab is going thru some type of transition right now. We ordered our Maverick Trail in sep 2020 and just received it 2 months ago and ordered the roof when we ordered it. Very impressed with the quality of ryfab. We have now placed an order by e-mail for the cargo box and storage rack
This thing sent while editing, I can’t find those mounts on their website.
I don't think they are on the website, but they do sell them. You may have to call or email and ask.
They don’t do anything that I can see on the phone at this time. I’ll just wait till they call me for payment info. Love your video’s and info.
Say, what person to person communication devices are you using? Thanks!
We use SENA 20S to talk between my wife and I, and use just cheap Motorola GMRS radios for car to car communication. 👍
@@MyATVlife Sena 20S Thanks!
Hi, would you happen to know if RYFAB is still in business?
Hard to say. I know they've pretty much given up on answering their phones and email. I think they're so far behind and are having a hard time getting and keeping employees that they just don't seem interested in taking on more work. Just my opinion. I hate to badmouth them because I love their products, but their prices have gone crazy and their customer service has just disappeared.
@@MyATVlife yeah,that’s what we’re experiencing. There quality is awesome. We placed a large order and got confirmation in June and was told 12 weeks. I’m trying to get any shipping info to work with travel plans as I want to be home for the shipment as there is a porch pirate problem in my area.
I wish I had better info for you. From what I hear orders are being sent out eventually, but nobody can get ahold of them for updates. To be fair, if they did answer the phone it would be tons of people every day wondering where there order is. All I can say is it's coming, just no way of knowing when.
@@MyATVlife Thank You for that info,We just hope we get a shipping notification when the order ships. Hope to join you on one of your trips. Great videos. Take care, Bob & Jule’s
Do you and your wife use any kind of in helmet intercom/radio, if so what kind?
We use SENA 20S in our helmets.
Utes or Cougars?
I'd have to say neither. I'm close to Logan UT, so the USU Aggies would be my "home team". Even though they kinda suck. 🤣
@@MyATVlife Im from Burley, and most the kids around here go to USU
Do you have a link for the mounts for your roto packs The actual mount that goes on your side by side
No link because I don't think they show them on their website, but their made by Ryfab. They are specific to their cargo boxes for each machine. If you have a Ryfab rear cargo box you can probably contact Ryfab directly about getting some Rotopax mounts for your box.
How many miles you have on this now?
5389
@@MyATVlife wow... That is impressive! Any plans on updating to a new ride or you going to keep going with this? I actually had the same yr as you and did some install videos but sold it.. now I want another 50" but I don't like that they removed the toggle switches and turf mode.. been looking at the new rzr trail ultimate but Polaris makes me nervous lol.
I don't plan on updating to a new rig any time soon. We're hoping to add another ATV to the fleet soon, but no plans on getting rid of the MT. The fact that the rear locker is gone is a huge deal to me too. So much so that I would consider a RZR Trail before a Maverick Trail again. We've had several Polaris ATVs in the past and they've always been very reliable for us. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Polaris.
Is that your spare MT in the garage?
😆
I wish ! No, it's my sons MT
@@MyATVlife Looking forward to your two machine comparison film. My thx

@@MyATVlife thanks
Hi, looking to order some Ryfab products but not sure if still in business. Does anyone know?
I believe they are for now. I think all of their orders have to go through RMATV
Much appreciated. Do you know if you can order direct from them? I tried calling their number but no luck. Keep up the great videos! Just purchased a used 2021 Maverick Trail and your videos are really knowledgeable and helpful!
They haven't accepted orders directly for about a year, it's all been through RMATV. I've heard the business is up for sale. If it doesn't sell it will close soon, at the end of the year is the rumor.
Well dam i am already S - U - B TO YA LOL 😂
And we subscribe to you. I enjoy watching you Southerners ride. Gives us northerners something to look forward to while we're snowed in. Congratulations on the new machine ! Can't wait to see your adventures with it. 👍
@@MyATVlife thank you
Thanks for following me on Instagram, I returned favor .
Awesome thank you!
Tooooo Muchhhhhh detail! A little less detail would make the videos more interesting. And yes Ryfab makes some very good looking products. iam waiting for my dealer to get my trail model in sometime in June.
