I just bought an 04 Foreman 4x4 and I'd like to hear some stories from people about what all they've put their Foreman through (mud, snow, water, etc).

 

If you put it in front of me, I will try and go through it. My friends already named me the MudMonster. The Foreman is incredible. Only problem I do occasionally have is the mud and water make their way into the front brake drums. The brake handle then becomes spongey and no brakes. Pull the drums, clean and adjust them and you are ready to go again. The most impressive thing about the Foreman to me so far has been the sure footedness of the machine. Sideways off cambered hills and trails are no threat. You may feel that you are about to roll over but if you stop and rock the machine, you realize its still sitting stable at great angles. It will climb anything you have the b---s to try. Only thing I dont like is the super low gearing and slow top speed. Everything else is awesome about the Foremans. Also I found out this past weekend, Foremans float!! I have a thread on her about it called " Foremans Float".

 

Thanks for the info. I took mine out last night after I got it and was pretty impressed. I got into some mud and water about a foot deep, and the Foreman made it through with ease. Today I'm going to test it out some more.

 

well let see i dont ride a 4x4 often but when i do some mudding the deepest i have got my friends up too was half way over the motor thats about it

 

we have had our to the top of the gas tank in mud up straight hills and a hill we call raptor hill. (we wrecked 2 raptors same day) they are just awesome. we ride our 4-wheelers and arent afraid to do anything so if they have help up this long and still in good shape i would say they awesome.
