re: Help Buying an ATV **UPDATE w/PICS**

I've always had fourwheelers, but just bought a ranger 900 xp with power steering. Its so nice, I took it up and down some ridiculous hills and bottoms at our camp in Mississippi and it handled it great. The dump bed comes in handy also. Put some 27" mudlites or even a more aggressive tire on it and a winch just in case. If you're set in a fourwheeler then honda 420s are solid, but the toughest bike ever built is the 300 honda fourtrax. I've seen people put a 54% gear reduction and small lift and they would turn 29.5 outlaws in thick thick mud. Now if you want raw power but still a 4x4 either go with the polaris scrambler 1000 or renegade 1000 or even a 900 or 1000 rzr. these wouldn't be the most practical for your needs though.
