Well I have been on atvs my entire life I always enjoyed going in the mud. I have had a rzr s for 2 years now and I have went through all kinds of mud. Until recently I have had a blast doing it. This last time I buried the machine in a deep solid clay hole. I have now spent 7 hours cleaning the machine. I have spent more time removing the skid plate and cleaning underneath. And I have noticed a trend of issues. The machine has always had full skids but the bottom is starting to rust I am sure from the constant soaking of wet mud. I noticed my rear brake pads wore out because the calipers were so full of mud they must have been dragging the whole way home because they wore at an angle like the caliper stuck. I have replaced all the bushings twice. All the wheel bearings twice. Ball joints. I’ve rod ends. Broken axles. I know this stuff happens but I feel a trend of severe wear coinciding with me doing heavy mudding vs just trail riding. Now I am not sure if any of u ever feel like is t worth it to keep mudding. That’s how I feel I have a 8 month old so time and money are very limited and I feel most my time is spent cleaning or repairing the machine. I have spent probably 10 hours cleaning and repairing machine this last time to the 1.5 hours I rode not a very good ratio. Just kind of venting because I am sad to think about not mudding but j am feeling like I have to so I can still enjoy the sport
