I have a Coleman UTV 400 and looking for something to store it in.  Preferably something vinyl or plastic with its own base that can stand alone outside and house the UTV.  I think the dimensions of the UT400 are around 106" long 52" wide and 74" tall. 

What should I consider that won't break the bank?

A tarp?  It will take a fairly large shed to have a big enough door and tall enough. Those tend to be pricey.

I guess, but would like to have something a bit more user friendly and less susceptible to critter invasion and destruction.

I've used what I think is the easiest solution: 2" PVC pipe and the connectors to create 4 legs and the top crossbars and then two tarps laid over 90 degrees from each other. It makes a great shelter and is cheap and easy plus it can be sim,ply taken down and stored for the Summer, if desired.

Any pics?

Unfortunately, no. It was such a simple setup I didn't take any.
I've since bought an enclosed trailer and my UTV spends the winter (on a trickle charger) in that.

I like what you did, I did something similar to cover a pool one year.  Also saw this which is very close to the same concept, it's a complete kit, probably a little sturdier and also more expensive.

Yes, very much like that but very basic. No actual door, just lift one end of one tarp. The tarps came from Harbor Freight and were like less than 10 bucks each. The PVC came from Home Depot. Total cost for everything was less than 50 bucks.

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?

      Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it.  Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done.  Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out.  What should I start checking?

      I use my Hisun 550 (with the Coleman stickers), for general work around my 10 acres of hilly land. Hauling firewood, some dirt and mulch, and debris clean up. Also felling dead standing trees in the woods and hauling rounds out to the barn for splitting/stacking.
      Here's my question:  Those who use their UTVs with towed drag implements or snow plows, have you noticed any issues with early clutch slippage or failures?  Or premature belt wear?  Other drive line issues??
      Thanks in advance for any experienced thoughts and comments.

      I got a utv from lowes it has one tire in the back that is the same size as the front tires so it has 3, 26-9-14 and 1 26-11-24. i want to change the rear tire to the same one as the other.So instead of buying a new rim will a 26-11-24 tire fit on a 26-9-14 rim.
