Cooper Rugged Treks will compare to the ridge grapplers. Absolutely no complaints after a year. They are more of a hybrid than the Cooper At3's. Basically a tighter patterned MT. These have about 22K on them so far.

Cartsunlimited is a huge help and the guy is great with help too if you email him with questions. I bought a 2000 DS last year and of course the batteries were not maintained, I replaced one, then another went bad, etc. There is a reason they tell you to change them all at once. I believe there is a simple conversion for the DS to get it to 48V from 36. He has the info on his website. 6 - 8 Volts are better then 4 12's.

If you lift it you will want to replace the controller as well as the F/R switch to a heavy duty (first thing I burnt up) Also upgrading your wires to 2 gauge or even 4 gauge will make a big improvement.

They are not cheap once you start upgrading, you will always want to add something more. But its fun and easy.

Yeah, because I said I am giving up and going to get breakfast.

Should I have said "nothing moving YET?" Would that have been better for you?

Seen all those, just no where to hunt them and if you do find a place, you are not by yourself whether you are supposed to be or not. Parents used to live right on the river, we'd watch some monsters travel that thing.

Bow opens next Saturday with weather forecast high 81 and low of 61.

From the camp:

We hunt mostly Warren. Live on the west side of the county.

Search "3D Maxpider" We put these in my wife's XC90 and have been thoroughly impressed. They also look like they belong in a car versus a work truck.

Edit: $150

Used an old bow target the other day and cross strapped it. You won't save anything by not using 4 straps. I learned that lesson. Dodged a deer and loosened the one strap across the back. Next thing I know I am towing the bike by a strap instead of hauling it in the back.

Couldn't see on the phone. I'm dealing with a single axle. But it will be back roads the whole way. Definitely will not be in a hurry.

We have acquired a f250. I'm still a little nervous about tongue weight. We found a place we can haul it across town, so we will move it there for now and see how it does on the short trip before hauling to the camp.
