Glad to hear you made the right decision maximus. A month? Best Tell Jason that you have to be at SRR, don't want just the polaris side of climb atv showing up.

Jason told me they have had a lot of calls on Cat axles breaking. He also said the Gorillas would be about 1 inch longer than stock and would be able to handle the lift.

Max- I would tell your dealer you are going to tell every one you see that they flagged your bike and not to do business with them. Everyone knows Cat has a serious axle problem and something needs to be done.

no muddy we are all running welded front diffs. i talked to another dealer and they are going to try and warranty them for me. said that was crasy what the dealere her in monroe La said. twin city power sports is the name of the dealer that is trying to give my the once over. anyway i am going to be getting gorillas even if they warranty them. the reason i can run a bigger lift is he is going to use joints that should run at a 40 degree angle. these are the kind he is putting in the polaris ones that are lifted bigtime. he is getting started on them today and maybe they will be ready before to long if he does not have to build them from scratch. i took him my rear ring gear because the axels were broke off inside. i had to use a press to get the shafts out. anyway this way he can use it to match up the shafts to the inside so i will not have to leave my bike there the whole time. i will keep yall posted about the results. it looks like it is going to be awsome when finished

Max- I had to take a punch and knock both pieces out through one side of the rear diff to get them out. That locked Cat is hell to steer with no rear tires turning because both rear axles are broke. I drove about a mile with just the front pulling.
