I need help decieding which to buy. Both are brand new. I would be modding as follows. Big bear pipe/jet/air filter. Wolvy pipe/jet/airfilter/424. These would be right off the bat. Tires and wheels would come later. I mostly trailride/play in the mud a little/work/ and hunt. Which would be more reliable? I dont need 4x4... I just like the sport-ness of the wolvy. Would the Big Bear last longer? Save me money in the long run? Seems like the Big bear maybe built tougher! Any comments or suggestions please!

 

both are nice bikes and both been around a long time so i think the reliability factor looks good for both.my opinion go with the 4wheel drive.youll thank yourself when your stuck in 2 wheel drive.my choice would be the wolverine with the warn 424 so you can have 2 wheel also.wolverine is the more sporty but either choice is a good one.you might regret NOT having 4 wheel drive once you get stuck in 2 wheel a few times.good luck

 

I think either would be ok. You mentioned you would be using it for hunting. Big Bear has more rack space, more ground clearance and can tow more. All things that you may wish you had when going hunting. Buddy of mine has a Big Bear 2x4 has held up pretty good over the years. Using it for the same things you will be. Later
