LOL, I wanted a more "open air" feel. Easy in/out too.

Got stuck at least 6 times today playing around... tonight I noticed my tires had 35lbs of air!!! Let's see how 10 works. I did manage to get a couple hundred feet into the trail... that was fun

Probably a dumb question, but that's never stopped me.
Why do you have a license plate on an "off highway" vehicle?

But.. Wwwwhhy.... isn't it way better at driving through a little snow?!? My Volkswagen Jetta can shred much harder than that... just sayin.

Anything that leaves your property here needs a plate. I think it's $40/ year and goes towards trail/ bridge building... mostly snomobile trails. I suppose it should be insured too... but I'm not sure if I'm keeping it or selling it in the spring.

LOL, so does my Coblat. Several reasons; open diffs, pretty well slick all terrains... and last night when I was puttering in the garage I checked the tire pressure and they were at 35psi!!! LOL Took them down to 10... we'll see what happens.
Oh, and I remembered you had requested a vid....

Yeah, my buddy was over yesterday (towed me with his fourwheeler a couple times)... he was saying it needs boggers. I said I think I'd like KM2s on it. I guess I'm getting old and tamer. LOL
Like I said; I may not keep it... so I'm not gonna throw too much cash at it. She's lots of fun as is.

You could always cut a bit more siping into those all terrains. If you replace them... go narrower. Weld the center diff?
Thanks for the vid, it's good to see it motoring about.

If I do anything to these I think I'll get a nice fat blade for my groover and cut out every other lug (what's left of them. LOL). I looked up 31" BF Goodrich KM2s, and they're 10.5" wide, $250 each. Yikes. I think the 30" ones were 9.5".
The thing about welding the rear is she's armstrong steering, so I'm very hesitant to do anything that might make it harder then it is... I suppose if I found a 2nd set of spider gears I could always go back.
