Behold XIBEIHU’s Amphibious 8-Wheeler. I stumbled across this baby while I was going through some of the memory cards I took to SEMA, and can’t believe I hadn’t posted it yet. So I figured I’d see what you guys thought of it. On the plus side, it floats and has cup holders. On the minus […] More »

Eagle-eyed readers might notice something slightly different about the ATV Connection homepage. Actually, you don’t have to be particularly observant to see the changes we’re made.
