What Razor to get, 2 or 4 seater?

So far we haven't had to deal with 50" vs 60" trails problems. Call it lucky but in Utah, Colorado, Arizonia and New Mexico we haven't had the issue. We rock crawl a lot and are in Moab now. The Sand Reeper has locking doffs front or rear. When on the road we unlock the 4 x 4 and the diff locks and roll. I have a DOT windshield steel doors etc.
The new Sand Reeper is 1100 cc lifted and cool. Just a better deal for us. 10 feet 3 inches long in the 2 seater

If you have locking diffs that would be fantastic. Sounds like you have a fair bit bigger engine than the only one I've seen where I talked to the driver. As I recall his engine was in the 800 class and the reason he couldn't get up the ledges was the lack of lockers. My RZR being an older one I have the opposite issue in that my rear end is always locked. Can cause problems sometimes.

If you're in the Moab area be careful with the Canyonlands boundaries. Seems the park service doesn't allow "Street Legal" ATV's. The only places I've ever found it to be an issue is with some of the Capitol Reef and Canyonland boundaries as they have a lot of dirt roads going through parts of the parks.

I don't recall any 50 inch trails in the Moab area as it's all old mining and jeep trails. That said you rarely if ever encounter any on BLM land in this area. You'll find quite a few in the areas managed by the forest service though. If you head a little south to Monticello, there are a bunch of nice trails through the Aspens in the Abajo mountains, several of the better ones being restricted to 50 inch rigs. Makes a great change of pace during the hot summer months where the 10,000+ foot mountains makes for a great way to cool off.

Finally, I'm jealous of your being in Moab. We generally hit that area several times a year, but I traded my TT for a 5er last October and I've been waiting to install a hitch on the back of it until the 1 year frame warranty is up. As a result we currently can't take the RZR on camping trips. We're planning to retire early next year so we got a bigger rig more appropriate to spending long periods of time in. Once retired we intend to spend a lot more time in that area of the world, and will probably supplement the RZR with another UTV type vehicle more suitable to both on and off road travel, and hopefully with a lot more power for the dunes.
