wth? How did that much dirt get in there and then how was grass growing?

 

The trailing arm has holes in the bottom and top. It's not welded solid so that also allows dirt and debris to sneak in as well. The grass is from seed fell in as I rode thru the prairie where I live. The dirt from riding, the grass seed, and then water from my washing it allowed the grass to grow

 

That’s wild

That looks like the under side of a lawn mower in there.

What was the purpose of cutting it open?

 

Hit a rock and bent it. Wasn't going to pay 800$ for a after market set so I'm repairing it.

 

I'd suspect the other side is full dirt too? That's probably a lot of unsprung weight. Are the holes big enough to flush it out?

 

No they aren't unfortunately

 

Once you clean out the debris and weld back together, are you able to somehow seal the holes up? I would think that mud and water packed in there would eventually cause them to rust from the inside out. I never really looked closely at mine, pulled them off when brand new and replaced with super atv high clearance arms.

 

I'm going to run a sealer around them once I've done the reinforcement. Hopefully it will stop it, but I believe you're right they will eventually rust out

 

Maybe just fill them with insulation spray foam

 

Hey, now that's a idea. Didnt even occur to me to try that. Ty

 

Great Stuff makes a spray foam (Pond and Stone) that's black and durable in wet locations.

 

Perfect Ty!

 

Think you are missing out a million dollar idea. If grass can grow, other plants should too.

Here is the sales pitch:

Do you like to eat healthy on the trail but find you are not getting enough greens in your diet? Look no further than the 'RZR Garden™ ' trailing arm.
Yes, you too can plant your favorite vegetables and enjoy them anywhere, anytime on any terrain.
Want a fresh salad on the trail? 'RZR Garden ™'
Fresh carrots on your trip? 'RZR Garden ™ '
Hungry for a satisfyingly chunk of kale? 'RZR garden ™'

***RZR Garden ™ does not recommend planting fruit trees.

 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Lol, a chia pet rzr arm! 😆

 

Hmmm
Anyone know exactly what changes were made for 2022+?
They look identical, externally.

 

IDK, Chia RzR may be the new "thing"!

 

for all the stronger components on the Pro, the trailing arms aren't one of them. They are weaker that previous models. Rocks bent mine on the first ride. Not bent enough to replace yet, but its still quite ridiculous.

 

A piece of 3"x4" angle 1"/4 thick trimmed to fit has taken care of that issue. Going to do the same to the other arm as soon as I get time. Sealing them is important to or they'll rust from the inside out
