Ordered this machine a few months ago. It had to be built and shipped to the nearest dealer to my location in Central Nevada; which is Golden State Cycle in Bishop, California. I made the 2.5 hour trek to Bishop in our Rubicon a few weeks ago and picked it up. I sure do like it so far, and have around 35 miles on it.
I had the dealer add most of the factory options: the Honda/Warn winch, the 4-skid plates and the third light switch. Insured it through my home owner's policy. Hauled it on a 5X10 landscape trailer with a Louisiana trailer dog tie down and covered it with a Cabela's heavy duty trailerable cover.
I really like these aluminum skids. I'll be offering up the factory plastic skids for sale-FYI.
Mainly got the rig so that we could do some work around the place and we chose the Polar Sport 1500 ATV trailer with side rails for that. Works perfectly for the jobs we intend to routinely do. Mostly landscape cleanup and hauling dirt and gravel. Our terrain is mostly flat and covered with brush. Some great mountain country is right nearby though.
You can see that the Misses is already hard at it! She is driving it around just fine and that is what I hoped she would do. She used to use a wagon and this should make her life a little more fun. So far so good on that!
Hope to get up on some of the Forest Service trails in the local mountains too.
Overall impression is that this Foreman is smooth and fairly powerful. Mono shock in back, radiator cooled, fuel injected (we are at 5,200 feet elevation), and the power steering and 4X4 is great. The 4X4 shifter is really smooth and easy to operate. Next we have to get some luggage and a pet carrier going..
