    Q: Any of you gents have a side-by-side/UTV?

    If so, how do you trailer it, facing forward or backward?

    Obviously they are more streamlined facing forward but then the windshield is susceptible to flying debris and you have to worry about the doors coming open. Facing backwards eliminates the debris and door concern, but I heard concern mentioned about the air being forced up the tailpipe isn't good for the engine. (insert joke here) Just wondering if there is any basis for that concern?

    UTV? Is that anything like a yeast infection? Kribbs says a vinegar douche usually takes care of his problems like that......

    I have a Can Am Defender and I always trailer it facing forwards, the windshield I have would be more susceptible to blowing out if it were trailered facing backwards.

    Bwana I've been going back and forth between an open or cargo trailer because of this. The issue is those dual axel 7x14 enclosed trailers are really high right now. I've got a Can Am Defender Limited on order that should be here in November so I'm going to have to figure it out pretty soon.
