Default Newbie needs your input

Hello I am brand new to atvs and have a question. I am wanting to get my first utility atv. My intentions are to use it for deer hunting, trail riding and mudding. I want to by a brand that has lots options and accessories available to me as far as lifting it, bigger wheels, tires....Is there a more prominent brand that people tend to graviate towards if they want to modify an atv? Any help would be geat. I would hate to buy a new machine only to find out that there are not as many options as far as lifting it and making it stand out in the crowd.
Thanks,
Chad

Welcome to the forums.

As long as you stay with a major brand, you should be able to find one that suits your needs.

Welcome to the forums.

Most of the major makers have modifications available in the aftermarket. Honda, and Suzuki to a lesser degree than others. Arctic Cat, Polaris, Can-Am, Kawasaki, and Yamaha all seem to have lifts and large tire kits available. Try doing searches on eBay to see what's available. Unless you're going to go in really deep a stock machine with a good set of mud tires will get through most anything.

welcome to the Connection!

The only factor that will limit what you can do to your atv is your budget.

Buying a newer (2004-2010) brand name 4x4 utility atv and adding lifts & tires will run you well into the thousands- like $4-$7k.
