I've been working on getting a camo kit for the 'Cat to go along with the seat cover and rear rack bag. I was just down at the dealers over the weekend and saw the 2001 500 Auto Special Edition he's got for sale. It's your standard 2001 Auto 'Cat with Warn A2000 winch and roller fairlead, plus a full camo kit in a new color pattern with matching rear rack bag and Kolpin gun boot and mounting hardware. It looked pretty sweet with the exception of the new CV boot protectors AC put on. I think they must have fell asleep during the designing point of the game as they are the weakest CV protectors I have ever seen. They only protect from the front, with nothing at all underneath (where it's needed most) or from behind. Pretty cheesy.

Anyway, my question about the camo kit for those of you who have them, is how have they held up for you? I don't imagine the mud or water would be a problem at all, though would sticks or tree branches tear them up? Specifically, I'm thinking of ordering the Moose kit in the Mossy Oak Break Up pattern. Or, do you think the 6" rolls of tape is a better way to go? Definately cheaper, though wouldn't look as nice.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I had the AC camokit on my 99 before the crash. Thay hold up in the brush alright the only thing is that sand tends to get between the camo and plastic and wear's on the finish like sandpaper. Dont think I'd go that way again unless you just use it for hunting only. Also the camo fades after a time when left on all the time.

I dont think you would notice that much of a differince runing 27" tires on your auto cat. My 1999 feels more gutt'sy then my 00 auto cat, but I think thay would handle 28's fine. I havent had time to realy "run" the 28 outlaws on the 99 yet but thay seem fine.
