I'm a big fan of mildly modified utility-focused UTVs. The base machines are great tools, sure, but adding a bit here and there, especially hunt-focused items, can turn even some great factory machines into perfect backcountry companions. Unfortunately, I started off with the go-fast kind of UTV for my own personal build, and now I'm slightly kicking myself in the head cause I'd like full doors, HVAC, and a bed to drop a bull elk into.
And aftermarket parts like Cedar Suspension Co.'s (CSC) mid-travel kit are making it real hard not to trade in my Maverick X3 Max for the new Defender HD11, cause hot damn, does this machine look ready to go all the insanely difficult places I like to go.
