Finally pulled the string. With the economy stinking and end of year closeouts in effect, I got a couple of great deals. My new babies are a new 2006 (leftover) Cam Am 800 Outlander and a new 2007 (leftover) Polaris 800 Twin. The Can Am was just under $7K and the Sportsman was just over $6K. Bought extended warranties for both and bumpers/hand guards for the Can Am and bumpers for the Sportsman with the savings.

Could use a little advice. The Can Am has plastic protection underneath. Just plan on riding in fields and logging trails. Do I need better protection or is the stock skids good enough? Need winches for both. Any suggestions?

Dont own a Outlander but thinkinking of buying one myself everyone says to get skids right away. Richochet makes a complete pkg for about $340.00.

Our Outlander is fully plated...I highly recommend going that route as well!

Congrats on the new purchases BTW!

They should be delivered next week. Right now I'm in the middle east but expect to be home by early December. I'll try to get a comparison on the forum at that time.
