Think'n with me dipstick!
Hey guys! So after years of wanting a four wheeler, I finally broke down and bought one at the end of November. I was originally looking for a really clean used one, but people were asking far too much for the nice ones, and the ones that were fairly reasonable were less than clean (clean being well maintained and in decent shape, not actual cleanliness). After checking out a couple of dealerships, I finally got a good deal on a brand new Sportsman and am extremely happy with the purchase.
A couple of quick pics of before:
So far I have added the Coleman cargo bag and fender bag, Pure Polaris front and rear rack extenders and hand guards, and bought it with a 2500 LBS. Polaris winch and Glacier 60" snow plow (ignore my messy garage. It's kind of the catchall of the property
).
And current mileage as of 1/3/13.
So far, I have tools, some basic recovery equipment, spare fuel storage and paperwork on board. I plan on using this machine to explore my state, so a basic GPS unit will be mounted as well, with some more gear to better suit myself for the elements/exploration. My pickup (which can be found over in the Domestic section) will be the hauler and main base camp for when I'm out of state, which should be in another couple of months. This weekend, it will be going in for it's first service after break in, and then hopefully Sunday (weather and errand running permitting) I will be going out all day to go play in the snow.
Hopefully I put this in the right section. I know it's not going to take me cross country, but there's plenty of exploring to do here in beautiful NW Montana, and as mentioned, I'll be going out of state in a couple of months for a week or two. If it's alright, I'll keep updating this thread as I go. Nothing major will go down with this machine as it's fairly capable (or as capable as I need it to be) as it is. Better tires later on and some other kit perhaps, but no lifts or anything like that.
