He is in Louisiana so its swamp city down there. I think he is mainly talking about the majority of those mud runners in the south that take a Sportsman and lift it, thus putting the CV joints at odd angles, and then slapping on a set of heavy 27x12 Vampires front and back. The extra weight and the odd angle from the lift will put quite a strain on any atv's front end, and seeing that it is a Polaris dealer, the quad in question would be a Polaris. The guy is just covering his own butt really. He can pretty much do this in context, because Polaris's website claims that you shouldn't even add big tires. But then again, that is like riding with a passenger or talking on the phone while driving a car. Its not really something that people give a hoot about. If I were adding big tires, it would take a message from god to keep me from doing it.

Boner,

You must be talkin' about Ray & Flo's. They are real turds. I tried to buy a little E-Ton from them at Christmas, but I could not get anyone to help me. I stood in the store for about 20 min., fingering the quad and still, no one came to help me. Oh well, it was there loss. I went to First Turn and bought a '99 Lt80. I hope you have good luck with them. Also, make sure that your pay check doesn't bounce. I know a fella that used to work over there and his was like a basketball.
