Yeah we live in the central part of Kansas and usually this time of year the grass is dry and short but we have had a really wet year so far. It is nice but we need to dry up a little so we can get in the field! haha! Yeah it is something that needs to be watched. I think we are going to try and cut a couple holes under the exhaust. That way if stuff catches on fire it might fall out and not catch the whole teryx on fire!! This weekend we are heading out to Colorado to ride in the mts. a bit. We will see how the Teryx does up there?!?
