Hey ya'll, I just got back from Galveston I had my new 2000 Xplorer 250 4WD in the back of the truck! Bought her for 500 dollars, the plastic is perfect the 4wd is perfect, engine starts on first pull, needs a battery, sprockets, chain and the front racks rewelded! She's also wearing a set of GY Mud Runners with 65% tread left. I can't wait to swap my Scrambler (busted piston) sprockets in and see what she's got.

At 6' 3" and 285 lbs, i dont see this thing doing the crazy wheelies and the massive mud rusting that the Scrambler does, but I am hoping for a fun dependable slow and easy mudder.

Future mod list
1. Cyclone jug and head ported and milled
2. Cyclone pipe
3. 2" lift kit
4. 28" laws or bugs
5. Carb
6. oil injection block off
7. 2500 lbs winch
8. OGI Watercraft grips
9. handle bars

 

theres a big power differnce between a 250 and the 400 so be thinking this will be even close to what you had w/ the 400.

 

yeah it'll be night and day. If it becomes a problem ill buy a xplorer 400 wiring harness off ebay and swap my 4oo into it and turn my scrambler into a trailblazer, wife/kid/backup quad. For now the xplorer is a mountain goat!
