In the market for a used Kawi 4x4 and would like it to be in/out 4x4. Also, if you guys have one or are familiar with what features they have, please let me know. I currently have a Bayou 220 but really need 4x4. Thanks for yer help.

 

why is the selectable 4x4 such an issue? My bayou does fine with turning and such and seems to me that having it selectable just makes for one more thing to break. I dunno - my 2cents

 

sorry no 400 with selectable 4 wheel drive, only 360, 650,700.

 

yeah, I don't think it ever had it. Should have though. But then again they did away with it before then.

Hell yeah, selectable 4wd is the only way to go. I would never go back. Why drive in 4wd when you have the option to switch out.

 

why not? just curious....

 

Here's a question. How come anytime a topic includes an improvement such as, well, anything electronic lets say. Push button 4wd in this case. (you can go back to the old radiator thing as well on this when they started making them as big as 400's). Why is it that somebody always says "just something else to break or tear up"? I'm thinking thats just the last ditch effort to get in another word.

If the manufacturers still thought that way, we'd all be driving Honda 250's or 300's. Sorry, I can take care of my stuff. Give me the gadgets.

 

Ok thank you guys. So it is limited slip then, right? That's fine although it would be nice to have all the features (in/out & locking diff), but I'd have to buy new get get all those. Anything's better than 2wd in Louisiana (a state that literally sits on 4 miles of "muck") so I'll be happy anyway.

Another question though, this time about the brake set-up. How long has the Prarie offered disk brakes. That's another thing I very sick of with the drum brakes on my Bayou. Once mud and water finds it's way in the first time it does it every time. My front brakes never work after about 2 trips through even modest mud. Disk brakes (front and rear) would just be so much better around here.

Anyone? Thanks again.

 

Front and rear disc brakes, that would be very new. I may be wrong prairie guys but doesnt the prarie still come with a rear drum brake? I know it is sealed but isnt it still a drum?

 

yeah, rear was a drum on the 400s

 

Ok. So on the 400s, the front were disk and the rear were drum but sealed? That would be cool just as long as mud can't work it's way in there.
