Default 2006 Foreman 500

Just picked this up. 06 Foreman ES. 400 miles/90 hours. Mods at the time of purchase: Aluminum stick stoppers and belly plate, Warn winch, Highlifter springs, SS wheels and ITP Mud-lights. Mods removed: F+R baskets and hand guards.

Future mods: Different/bigger tires, lift, and likely a clutch kit and gear reduction depending on what tires I decide on.

Got a guy with a 2013 650 Can Am XMR that wants to prove himself by hitting that same hole this weekend. We are gonna install his new winch and head back over there. I will make sure to get pics. I'm not trying it again anytime soon, I'll just be a spectator. I do have a 2^ Highlifter Signature Series lift on order. It should be here tomorrow as they are local to me. I may have it on in time for some new stance pics.

So it starts with a $100 trip to the local liquor store:

I decided to get to work early. As promised, the goodies:

Only took one pic of the back installed, front was mostly concealed:

Took a trip to Highlifter park. Honda only had to be winched out once but I picked and chose my battles. The one time I winched I really had no choice but try it bc there was no other route.

Looks like fun.
I Never knew there where clutch kits for semi Auto shift model ATVs.

They sure do not stay clean long. LOL

Headed back out. Tons of water due to recent rain. Mud smelled like cow ****.
