Every time someone mentions a SxS my mind goes to a double barrel shotgun.  My mind always goes to a double rifle when I see these post. Thats why I answered with a Heym in .470 Nitro. LOL

My question with a Side by Side is:
What can it do that a used Jeep Wrangler (YJ, TJ or JK) can't do?
Because a Jeep Wrangler can actually go on the road in addition to doing most of the stuff that a side by side will do, and you can get one just as cheap, and the Jeep resale value is higher, and the Jeep is quieter, has a better top and usually has heat and a/c and has more power for pulling stumps, dragging objects, etc...
Jeeps ride like crap. Side by side has independent suspension and that’s the way to go. 4 Runners ride great and they wear a Toyota badge.
"Why do you ask"?

I rode in one at the end of deer season a guy had just bought that had power windows, a touch screen navigation thingy in the dash, heat and air conditioning……Joker smelled like a new car……It was like riding through the woods in luxury. I believe it was a Ranger.

Tell me you’ve never owned a side by side without telling me you’ve never owned a side by side😉 My dad has both, had the Wrangler first. Uses the Polaris for things he never used the Jeep for. Jeep hasn’t been cranked in a month or more. Polaris gets used daily. The two are not the same, not even close. If one had to go, it would be the Jeep without hesitation.
You're only as good as your worst shot-

The best SxS is the Honda. Hands down. I have one it's built to last. I don't like Polaris engineering it's certainly not great and they are not built to last much beyond a few thousand miles. The only saving grace is they are relatively easy to fix and aftermarket parts are readily available. I have probably 6k+ miles on a Ranger I also own but I have had to maintain it... it's about all aftermarket parts now but at this point still a solid machine. Engine still runs well. I had a Can Am it was a good machine. only brand I have never owned a Kawasaki SxS I've owned plenty for their 4-wheelers. Good 3 and 4-wheelers been around that long probably make decent machines just never owned one.
Jeep you drive down the street vs. SXS. I am not sure how you seriously compare the two. There is no comparison offroad unless your Jeep is a dedicated off road deal wearing at least 40s, 1 ton axles with a V8 under the hood. The only way the Jeep is a better option is if you can't afford a $30k SxS AND a $50k Jeep. That in fact IS a real issue. And what you need to do there is sell the Jeep and buy an old Toyota pickup which all come with a free fresh set of balls to replace the pair you lost when you bought the Jeep.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

i have a 19 north star (heat and ac) was 32k at that time. same machine is pushing 40 now
the achilles heel of that machine is seed heads and debri clogging up the ac condenser that’s right in front of the radiator. ac quits working then the machine goes into limp mode. everyone i know that has one has the same complaint. never had that problem with the non ac model
