If the person selling it called it a "Foremen 350", it is obvious that they don't know what they are doing! Do you think a person who is that out of it ever bothered to change the oil, clean the air filter, or adjust the valves???? Pass this one up.......

 

A warn 424 is a modification you can do to a full time 4WD bike to make it have selectable 2WD or 4WD. Pretty handy on some models like the older model Rubicons. My Uncle bought two of them for his teenage daughters, and for the girls, it is a beast to turn. Throw a Warn 424 on there, makes it a little easier to manage.

Even with 4WD, you can still get stuck and a Winch is a good thing to have on an ATV.

EXCELLENT advice, best I've seen in a while ! pass that atv up for another one. The WARN 424 is an awesome buy. makes a disconnect piont between the engine and the front diff for bikes that come "4x4 all the time". makes donuts & wheelies easy and makes for better steering and cornering, tighter turning radius.

you think you have 4x4 so you don't need a winch? come spend a Sunday with me... I use my winch b4 I have coffee most days, but I'm real rough on it. Can't find the trail.... make your own.

i love my rancher 350 is got plenty of power ( ive pushed a chrystler cirrus , ran out of gas ) never gotten stuck , and can keep up with my bros 300ex ( speed , powerslides & even doughnuts.....</end quote></div>

sounds like a challenge live near north carolina....wanna race.my 300ex vs your 350..lol

 

youll need a winch because is is 4x4 ....not as fun till you get it stuck and a winch makes for a quick easy recovery ....so u spend the rest of the day trying to get stuck again......insted of spending the rest of the day trying to get unstuck..plus the winch gives you the confondience to go through the big hole...knowing if you get stuck ....no problem I've got a winch

 

I never run a winch. Dead weigtht over the front axle where it does the most harm. If I'm so weak that I can't pick up the machine, then I shouldn't be out there!

 

and for everyone else who is not Hercules, Winches can be your best friend.

I would like to see you pick up a Rubicon lodged into even 6" of mud that is acting like a suction cup on the tires. No offense, but there is a reason they make winches.
