I have tried and tried and tried to get my new rubicon stuck but i can't do it. I have had it through water passed the gas tank and it still goes. I have gone up hills nearly straight up. I have'nt been stopped on my rubi yet!!! My friends 2001 grizzly is always getting pulled out of mudholes by my machine. And I smoke him in a dead drag race. Is everyone elses rubicons like this also???

2001 rubicon: 4, 27-10-12 vampires... 2 warn 2500's.. magnum billet itp wheels.. snorkel... HL high performance kit (when it's out) ..

Do you think the 27" Vaps help a bit? The Grizzly is still the power house 4x4 king and will even out accerate the SP H.O. Your friend should hit the gas all the way down if he can not beat a 500 with big heavy 27" tires on it.

ok, i guess i kinda stretched that one out... were even till about 30 mph... but then i edge him out when we hit about 35... i beat him by about 10 feet prolly.... but i can't believe how fast my bike accelerates... it's fast!!! i guess his 28" outlaws would slow him down a lil more than my vamps would slow me down.

While I love my Rubicon, all I can say is if you cant get it stuck, then ride harder. Everything will get stuck.

What modifications did the 300 have done to the engine beacause if it was stock u could have been seeing things... i can't imagine a 300 pull a 500... was the rubi in D1 or D2??? or just regular hondamatic????

The vampire tires on the 300 is the reason it pulled the ruby backwards,the Ruby has stock dirthook tires which are no comparison to the vampires.

Well if you cannot git it stuck I would say you have to get on it and drive it first.......just kidding.
But if you cannot get stuck then you are not trying hard enough everything will get stuck period.
I am glad you are having good luck with your atv I hate to see anyone having problems with there bike they are to expensive to be not being able to ride them

I've had my Rubi since last June 16th and haven't had a problem, even after 1220 miles. I have had it stuck MANY times, even with the 26" Vamps' on.I love this machine!
