Those are the same knee pad bags my buddy got me at the King of the Hammers a few years ago. We have a friend that races there.
No, I have one friend with an older Teryx he has heavily modified and here’s my ‘15 XP1000 getting better front control arms with beefier ball joints. Broke one of the ball joints off last year in Moab on Hells Revenge. These screw in and out and can be replaced on the trail. I know a lot of the newer stuff is great, like yours, but this is paid for and I’m slowly replacing the weak points… like you I have bead locks, bigger tires etc. I’ve run it hard for years.
