We started day 4 waiting at horsepower ranch for a tow truck to come pick up a rzr that lost the transmission just as we entered Ensanada. HP ranch is absolutely beautiful so I wasn’t going to complain. We finally hit the trail about 11 and made it out of town when another Rzr went into limp mode.
chase team swapped out the fuel pump and we were off again only to make it 2 miles before it went back into limp. Swapped injectors and some of trouble shooting and 2 hours later the call was made to scrub the mountain pass and tow the disabled car out via the flatish road.
not many pics from the final day but it was still a beautiful ride.
overall I counted almost 9 hours of mechanical downtime which was based on the following.
1 rzr secondary.
1 rzr primary.
5 rzr belts.
1 rzr transmission.
1 rzr top end.
moral of the story, make sure you go with can am’s
seriously though we are pushing these machines to their limits and chit is going to break, just be ready and accept it. JR did mention this was probably the worst trip he has had in a while both mechanically and weather/water wise.
i would tell anyone who is thinking about it to do it without hesitating. My car is bone stock outside of the ZRP radius and pull plate and I went through one belt that was due to a serious river cross. I also drive my car at 70-80% of its ability, if you know both your limit and your cars you will be fine. I will also say, this is not the place you want to be if you run out of talent so ride carefully.
JR with bajautvtours.net was an absolute professional and made both me and my wife feel safe at all times. He does these ride through out the year, hit him up if you want more details.
