Selling the tires as take offs is ripping you off. Might as well ride them, get a feel of the machine and what it will do then change the tires to whatever you want. Few people will give you list price so why bother try sell it.

Jim nice pictures... Thanks again... One more thing... I also noticed there is a standard front storage on the front of it. How good is it with keep liquid out? I mean can it be submerged in water/mud and not let a drop in or will it leak a little??? Also, I've noticed that in the back near the brake lights there is a little storage container. What do you guys keep in there tools, etc??? If so what kind of tools do you think I should pack when I go trail riding. lol Sorry guys, I feel so stupid asking these questions but you know.

Thanks Alot!
-Joe

I didn't spray directly into the seam but I hosed it down good with a pressure washer and the inter cabinet is still bone dry. I keep the tools and the tow strap in the rear container. I also got a tire patch kit. Don't need it but you never know. Just like a condom. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Hey MUDATV700,

Check out my pics. It'll give you an idea of the acc. that I've added to my new machine. You're certainly making the right move by buying a winch. It's an absolute MUST !!!!

Windshield keeps you warm during cold weather rides. Also it stops mud from the front vehicle and dust as well

Winch first, then maybe some bumpers. Theres a lot of expensive plastic on the sportsman's front and rear. Its strong, but no match for a tree or another quad.

If you ride in the woods or are just clumsy, then a front bumper is a good idea.

If you ride with idiots, then a rear bumper is a good idea. Can't tell you how many times my dad or brother have slammed into me when not looking (but going slow). Luckily no actual damage from that.

Polaris's bumpers and brushguards fit great, match well, and offer good protection. Plus, they won't get in the way of your winch.


For tires, I think that those PXT's are great for a stock tire. Considering how aggressive they are, they ride very well. I love my mudlites, but my sportsman is now a boat. (The disco'd sway bar doesn't help).

I thought there were 2 winch kits. One for the brushguard and one for without??
