Beautiful bush to ride in. One thing worth mentioning, if you are by yourself, a simple roll over could ruin your day. Bring something to get it upright if it can't be pushed back over, and of course make sure it doesn't land on you.
PJ in the valley simple don’t ride by yourself. Everyone I know that rides, goes with a group. In Royal Blue Kentucky where we ride there are even guides that lead you because the area is 200,000 acres. It’s easy to get lost and easy to have a flat/ break a tie rod/ axle/ or roll over. Always ride with a group. Make friends
That Maverick actually doesn't have the Visco Lock QE. I bought the one without power steering because it saved $1000 by getting the non power steering package and costs $650 to put it on later. So my thought was that I will save money even if I did have power steering if I bought an aftermarket one and installed it myself. Well naturally after the second time that I took it out, I felt I needed it as bump steer was HORRIBLE! I later found out that the non power steering package had more than one difference than the package that had power steering. The other difference was the lack of the Visco Lock QE, it just comes with the normal Visco Lock. And super surprised that I missed that as I tend to research stuff until there isn't much left to research. The regular Visco Lock does work, just need a little more wheel spin before it lock. Still would like to buy the Halo locking front locker for it someday to get solid locking.
Everything we did that day could be done with a stock max. There is a trail or two at Evans that might be a bit tight for a stock max. Maybe lift and tires and then fine..
I'm the guy in the Maverick. Soon as I have $1800 of "extra" money, I'm buying the Halo fully locking locker for this which is operated by a switch! But this was about my about my fifth time out ever in the Maverick, I've since learned to just keep on the throttle and get the tires to spin a few times then the front will lock right in. Just have to get used to it. If that's the only thing keeping you away from the Maverick, I'd say just go for it. And keep in mind on this day, the guys I was running with had 35-38.5" tires and I was doing fine considering.
***** You are right. I have the XMR with QE but I still had a learning curve my first time out with keeping on the throttle. But now with my 32" terminators I can go anywhere a highlifter can go.
Awesome! That's exactly what I want to do with mine! 3" lift and 32" Terminators along with everything else you need to make that work! What did you do for clutching and axles? ...and tie rods

Collin Morgan very cool
this path looks sick! where is this?
That's Evans Creek isn't it?
We make a genuine push button locker if u ever want a better solution. Nice trails and scenery btw.
Do you make the Halo locker? That's what I want to get for it. That's me in that video by the way. Lol
Yes bub we are halo
Awesome! It's on the list!
Badass trails man, u think u would've been able to go thru that on a maverick max?

where is that riding taking place at?
It's at Evans Creek in Washington.
Haha the other works for you and you sit and watch them. :)
looks like that visco lok is killing you.... that is the only thing stopping me from buying one of these right now
Why ? You can put a locking diff in if you want .
