I just got the a-arm/c-v guards from PRM. For the most part i was happy. Bolts are recessed but the outboard c-v joint wasn't totally covered. Went to Home Depot and bought a 2inch flat aluminum plate and used rivets to secure it on the guards at the outboard c-v area. Just make sure before u rivet it that u turn the wheels both ways with full load and check if the new piece will rub.

Sorry, couldn't find your email address. I was wondering if you could help me out with a few questions about the Outlaws you're running on the Ruby. Obviously they are great in the mud, but how are they in normal trail conditions, logs/sticks, rocks, etc.?
The reason I'm asking is I've been looking at the Mud Buggs in a 27x10x12 for the 'Cat. Mostly because of the weight issue. They are supposed to be the lightest tires out there, then the Outlaws come out, made out of the same rubber. The 28x10x12's only weigh about 31 lbs. or so, which is only about 4 lbs. more than my stockers!
I want the taller tires mainly for ground clearance, as the 9.2 stock just isn't enough. And, with all the weight I pack on the quad itself, then add my fat _ss, it starts to sag quite a bit, thus lowering clearance even more. As I've stated before, I ride mostly deer and elk trails when not working with the quad. A lot of hills over every kind of terrain, and some mud. Granted, a strictly "mud" tire might not be my best choice, but I think that for power saving reasons, it would be better than running something else that weighs so much more, thus robbing even more power. If I'm going to spend the money, I might as well get something that is going to work great, and I know the Outlaws will do that in the mud, but what about everything else? I don't do much fast riding, so I'm not worried about getting "beat up" as some would say about the ride. There isn't much price difference between the 27" buggs and the 28" outlaws, so I guess it would be a toss up.
What do you think?
Thanks for the time!
