Next Jamboree

We can start it!

Somewhere COLD or when it is COLD, I am tired of being cooked every year. AND less dust! I am already going to Ouray, CO in mid-August. Coral Pink was really nice but pick a time when there is rain to keep the dust down. It was fairly cool even in June when we were there. Kinarfi even had to go into town to get propane. May & June are just dry dusty months so would not be my pick. Also the warmer it gets the more bugs. I would also go back to Hanksville, that place was GREAT, but before it gets hot. We can't make it in the spring already busy.

Coral pink is a good place. It's in southern Utah. Some great trail rides along with a large sand dunes area and senery. Rain is iffy, it's just a dry area. May would be a good time. Generally not hot yet. Of course trying to guess when its going to be hot or cold is a dice toss. September is also cooler. This area is at 6000 feet elevation so that helps with the heat too. Plenty of room for large campers but camping would be remote, no bathrooms, electric or hookups. It's also near Colorado City. Remember Warren Jeff, while that is where he ruled. Being that close, you could always stop buy and pick up a couple of extra wifes. They even trade wifes around there depending on if the ruling men decide rather your wife would be better for another man or not.

You guys in the east need to set up an eastern Jamboree. I think for the most part its unrealistic and impractical to drive from the east all the way out west for a couple day Jamboree. Gosh the fuel cost these days would be huge. We wish you could come because the trails out here are in a class of their own. Not that the trails in the east are not great too. By class, I referring to it being dry desert and old cowboy movie type stuff. No mud, outragous scenery. We have stuff that is like driving down into the Grand Canyon, old mines, big cliffs and for the most part, verty few bugs. I lived in the east for most my life and rode motorcycle down lots of trails. They were great. Out west is just different. Oh, and we don't have Poison Ivy.

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?

      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.

      My 2014 Odes with less than 1000 miles suddenly won’t turn over with a fully charged battery.

      I bought a project UTV. 2010 Hisun 700. I'm doing a top end rebuild. The prior owner did some shady stuff to this poor thing. It's got a knock and blown head gasket. Piston is gouged and 3/5 bent valves. Standard stuff if you dont know how to take care of your equipment. But while doing disassembly there is a nipple on the back side of the head, just under the exaust rocker arm peep holes. The guy has a rubber hose clamped to it and pinched it off on the other end with a vice grips left undet the seat. I can't find where this is supposed to attach to. The manual shows it capped on the head in the new models and doesnt address it at all on the old models. Any input?
