Windrock SxS Trip

Between Ride Royal Blue, Brimstone, and Windrock they advertise around 300,000 acres and 1,200 miles of trails all in the same area....and I'm sure there are tons of unofficial trails running around also.

Forgot to mention another repair on the RZR 1000XP.....winches don't work very well when you try to power them though a 14 gauge wire and 30 amp fuse. The guy had just installed his winch and tried it for the first time when trying to climb a rocky and rutted hill after it rained. It would spool in and out under no load okay but as soon as it loaded it up it popped a 30 amp fuse. I figured it was something in the remote that was grounding out, so we winched him with another vehicle a few times that day. Back at camp he started going through the wiring trying to figure it out. When I walked up and looked at the relay I saw he ran dinky 14 gauge wires for power and ground from the normal fuse block to the relay

. and then the typical 4 gauge or so battery cable from the relay to the winch. Fortunately we scrounged up enough battery cable to wire it up correctly straight to the battery.
