was doing a donut in some mud, it caught and flipped me over into the mud, no damage, also earlier after washing my quad I went up the road turned my lights off and they would not go back on, any ideas (btw the quad was not hurt, nor I)

 

Hey easymac~
the only idea that I have for you is don't try doing donuts in the mud anymore! Especially with a 3 and a half wheel drive machine! About the headlight...my guess would be a wet connection. Try it later once it has had time to dry.

 

i flipped mine in the first hour i had it

it's apart of the atving life

 

My Rancher was flipped over on its side by doing the same thing. I was in the parking lot (gravel) of our local riding area doing donuts trying to make the pack end slide around, well a after a few circles & too much throttle, up on its side & off I went. Nice watermelon sized bruise on my hip. A lesson was learned that day.

 

I know the feeling, I've had mine on two wheels (Dukes of Hazzard style) a few times. I normally go sailing off, pushing the quad back down on all fours. Donuts are a lot easier on a 4x2.

00' rancher4x2es, 1500lb winch w/ 50ft cable, Herculined rack, 26x12 mud runners on the rear.

 

it usually cuts a pretty good donut, just this time it caught frozen mud, im lucky I had yee old helmet on I cracked it when my head hit the frozen mud

 

hahah, I lasted 1 month without rolling, they stand up to it pretty good. started right up

 

DeadEye,

You Dukes of Hazard style jumps on your Rancher? If so I am impressed. I have a mental block about jumping a 500+ pound machine!!!!! It not the flight time thats scary, its those landings.

 

I jump mine, landing is smooth. mind you I usually dont go more than 4 ft of air. also its snow out so landings are cushioned by that. when all is said and done im a pure nut on my 4x4

 

Easymac,

You are insane...... But hey its cool to know the Rancher can jump if it has too...... I like riding in snow also.

Have you every bottomed out the shocks from a jump?
