Looks like fun when I save enough for the Rubie My old XR600R has 3 drain plugs, you must drain the frame (thats the oil tank) then drain the normal engine case, then the clutch. but filling the thing is easy, just dump in 2 quarts and go

The two cheapest places I've found for Warn stuff are http://www.hotrod-offroad.com/warn.htm and http://www.atvpartsdepot.com/. An A2000 will run you around $279.00 at either site. The first site, hotrod-offroad.com, carries the full Warn line, but you need to know the Warn part number to find what you need. You can also pick up a cheap Warn on eBay every once in a while. I got mine for $240.00 (shipping included) on there. Go to www.highlifter.com to get the answer to your last question.

Hey, I just gave up my XR600 for a Rubicon, as well. And the deal with the oil is that the tranny uses it as the hydraulic fluid, so you're draing the oil tank, as well as the motor. And one of the reasons that the Rubicon accelerates so quickly is that new transmission, which is in gear all the time, so there is no delay for it to reach a certain RPM; it just goes as soon as you push the throttle. And after riding my XR, I must admit I am enjoying the relative quiet of the motor. Even my wife's TrailBoss seemed loud and annoying (and I'd never thought I'd be complaining about a loud exhaust!). I love my Rubicon! Well, you know what I mean.

Glad to see you like your Rubicon. It is very quiet. Our Rancher even seems loud now.

i guess my problem with the brakes is that "the most advanced atv in the world"(dealers words) is equipped with the most primative brakes in the world. well except for flintstone brakes .

DG seems to market themselves towards the sport market so the utility riders dont seem to check them for our products. It does look like they make some neat stuff.
