Has anyone ridden one of these? I was looking into the Rubicon, but for the price the foreman seems to be better. The only thing i dont like is the foreman is not liquid cooled. Also do you think the 05 is $600 better than the 04 because i can get an 04 for $4800 and the 05 for $5400. How do you like your foremans?

 

Hi. Yes the 05 Foreman is worth the $600 in my opinion. The Foreman is a proven wheeler that has built a reputation for dependability. the 04 is an excellent wheeler as well..but with the upgrades for the 05 I would definitely go for the 05.

 

I just got my 2005 Rubicon today. Don't have much seat time on it yet (it's raining) but so far I am impressed with this bike. I got mine for $64XX out the door.

 

Hey rcrob, I noticed that you have a 97 Foreman with the Warn 424. How do you like it and how does it work? Have you had any problems with it?

 

Cirviver,

I like the Warn 424 on the 400! Works like a champ. Installation was a pain, but well worth it. I installed it last Spring, and have not had any problems with it at all. It works by pulling out the **** (it locks) for 2wd, and pushing it in for 4wd, and you can do both on the fly when you are moving. I keep it in 2wd most of the time until I get stuck, then push the **** in and instant 4wd. Very good accessory for full-time 4wd machines.

Rob,

Thanks for the info. I have been thinking about getting one but I haven't heard much feedback on them. I think that you have convinced me to go ahead and get one.

Thanks Again,
Chris

 

I got mine from www.4atvtires.com for around $225 (included shipping). It'll turn a full-time 4wd into a sportier bike.

I will check out that website. Thanks again for the info.

I owned an '02 foreman, great machine. Now i own an '04 rincon, kinda regretting not waiting for the '05 foreman. Sounds like another great machine. Check out the website and see all the new additions, will probably be the next best thing!
