If you were one of the early ones that couldn’t believe your amazing Toyota was riding on the frame rails and called Toyota and was met with arrogance and indifference then proceeded to fix your amazing Toyota out of pocket only to have them issue a recall later then deny your reimbursement because you didn’t have the dealer diagnose it even though Toyota had and admitted full documentation of your history and a full set of receipts for your repairs, you might be a little bitter, too.
Or maybe you consider that solid customer service.

The stock leaf packs were the first upgrade for me, $400 and I had what I wanted.

We should file a class action lawsuit against Swaro because their objective lens covers suck.

I’ve owned 6 polaris rangers. 3 where northstar editions. Where i live we can drive them in town also. The last one I bought was an ultimate crew northstar and they are pushing close to $40k. I was putting about 7-9k miles on them per year. If i kept it for 4 years i would have around 30k miles on it and it wouldn’t be worth very much. Way less then half what i paid.
I sold it and bought a new tacoma for similar money. If i put 40k miles on a tacoma the depreciation wont amount to much.

As far as usability, i can do almost everything i could do in the northstar crew in the tacoma. Plus i can drive it anywhere i want long distance.

Ive a owned sxs since 2007 and since i sold my last one a year ago i havnt missed it at all.
Great points! Had the same thoughts about a jeep or something along those lines

Those Northstars are awesome, but I’m not sure how much I trust them. I’ve witnessed two of them, each owned by a different hunting partner of mine, crap out on hunts I was involved with, and I’m not a Polaris hater. I have a Sportsman and really like it.

I cannot fix or reimburse you for your out of pocket expenses.
I can however applaud you for the longest sentence ever created! Great job!

yeah they are handy. The last one i had was the most expensive one ive owned and it had the most issues. Seems like price keeps going up and quality keeps going down. Just like everything though.

Do the objective covers not come off rendering them nearly useless?
Are the objective covers completely necessary for even the most basic utility of the item?

Did you notify Swaro only to be told something along the lines of 'we don't make defective marginally-useful accessories so shut your yap and go away' only to issue a recall that affects not just basic utility but safety, as well across the entire continent?

Do most Swaro owners upgrade the objective covers in the name of looks which matter more anyway?

I'm trying to figure a way to install overwattage amber foglight bulbs on my Zeiss Conquests.

1st or 2nd gen Tacoma with a Bilstein 8112/8100 coilovers & shocks, with upgraded bump stops & UCA’s

Retains value better
HVAC
Cheaper than comparable SxS with HVAC
Street Legal 50 States
No Trailer Needed
Will go almost anywhere a full-size SxS will go.

I had that set up on a 3rd gen..

Not a UTV I couldn’t pass, the sport buggies were the only ones that I couldn’t keep up with but they typically don’t have usable beds.
