I got mine off of e-bay and am very happy. It's a "Savant Made". I found it under "atv winches" The seller was the "checkered flag.com"
Rincon that's dialed in.

Now, how does that work..... You do the math Mr. Engineer...

True 4 wheel drive vs. Three wheel drive...... Hummm, let's see.

Even the Rain Man can crunch those numbers........lol.

Terry....you retort a joke that took hours to formulate while on acid talking to a white rabbit...with facts?

Talk about killing a fly with a tank.

So....a pinto is more capable because it's lighter, than a M1 Abrams Tank?


Keep your eye on the code son....

By the way winch boy.....I checked the front of your honda from a photo...it appears your winch is going to be really low. Better check with the manufacturer on recommended maintenance after submersion.

Already did that. It states that submersion is fine, just after submersion let drip dry. I am going to have to figure out a way to put the electronics at a higher mount point.

I wish the Polaris did not have the belt drive. . . that is my only issue with them. . .

Now yer talking.....actually...wait till you drive it...it's like night and day from our 700's.


I know you'll find this shocking...but Terry rolled his Sled several times last weekend. He said with EFI....it stayed running upside down....now if gets an EFI quad, he needs to figure out how to roll it, without breaking the beer.
