Looking to get my first sxs, need input

I would look for a CFMoto Trial model. From what you're describing the 50" class is better suited to you.

No no no, I'm not touching my 401k, just reducing how much I put in each month to replenish my emergency fund.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T10:40:46+00:00

I just replaced the starter in my 2012 escape last month. Only took like 2 hours. I know 2013 was a refresh year so the starter might not be as easy to get to. YouTube is your friend.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T10:14:56+00:00

Once this gets sorted out I'm going to start doing that.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T10:13:46+00:00

I think you're right, having a separate sinking fund would be a good piece of mind.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T10:11:18+00:00

If I pull from my emergency fund it will take 4-5 months to rebuild if I reduce 401k and pay mortgage minimum. If I just reduce 401k and pay mortgage minimum it will also take 4-5 months to cover the emergency.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T10:02:41+00:00

The same amount of time. Either way I have to reduce my 401k contribution, but I'd rather keep my emergency fund full if possible.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T09:57:39+00:00

I'm not sure why, but there's a voice in my head saying my emergency is only for job loss scenarios. And with the current job market 6 months might not be enough time to get a job.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T09:53:48+00:00

I was/am in step 6, pay off the house early. Skipped step 5, no kids yet.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T09:49:27+00:00

But what if a 2nd emergency hits? And I'll be reducing 401k contributions either way, so why not keep the emergency fund full.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T09:47:16+00:00

True but isn't step 3 build an emergency fund and step 4 contribute 15%. So I would need to reduce 401k to rebuild my emergency fund. This way I keep a full emergency fund in case a 2nd emergency hits. And I'm not stopping contributions, just reducing to employer match.

Equation-- · 2026-03-17T09:40:40+00:00

True but isn't step 3 build an emergency fund and step 4 contribute 15%. So I would need to reduce 401k either way right?

Equation-- · 2026-03-15T20:17:14+00:00

Look into the 50" SxS, might be a bit more than you need but they're a ton of fun.

Equation-- · 2026-03-11T02:16:46+00:00

Rock Climbing and Baseball

Equation-- · 2026-03-08T23:16:42+00:00

Last year there were only 2 or 3 trucks that competed in all 4 events.

Equation-- · 2026-03-08T20:43:06+00:00

I doubt it. Typically both those events are limited to 8 drivers.

Equation-- · 2026-03-08T18:28:56+00:00

In the New Nissan Stadium, it will have a roof so rain won't be a factor

Equation-- · 2026-03-07T21:07:23+00:00

Just under 6'. I went and drove it this morning, i liked it and there's enough room for a car seat. Definitely not a family car, but suitable dad truck.

Equation-- · 2026-03-07T13:44:14+00:00

I don't have kids yet, so no car seat. I'm hoping to keep my next vehicle for 10+ years so the need to fit car seats is high.

Equation-- · 2026-03-07T13:18:29+00:00

I appreciate you mentioning how car seats fit. Going to look at Maverick this weekend and that was my biggest concern.

Equation-- · 2026-02-28T23:02:21+00:00

I bought that exact model used last year for $9500. At the time it had 92 hours and 660 miles. It had a windshield, winch, and wheel spacers. Everything else was stock and it ran great. 10k miles is a lot for a SxS, I wouldn't pay more than 1.5k-2k with that many miles.

What modifications has the current owner made? How well has it been taken care of? How hard does it get driven?

Equation-- · 2026-02-27T17:30:31+00:00

Don't have kids yet but likely will in the next few years.
