She already has all the furnature we could need. Thats the beauty of this one. Last year we finished our basement and have everything done now, except one bathroom and that was on the slate to be done long before something like this.

She did loose my vote for wife of the year.... She said I can't go on an elk hunt in Montana in September. I was invited on a 2-3 week bow hunt with her dad. She said something about I can't take all my PTO for the year if she can't go with. She does hunt, but not with a bow yet. Maybe next year.

i think the wheeler will make up for any down fall she had lol. just a little advise for you. if you run in the mud at all make sure you clean your radiator front and back as it can get filled up with mud and cause you to have over heating isues. these twins do run on the hotter side.

I think I love her!!! LOL Atv's are considered unuseful money pits to my wife. I guess we all have to weigh the good against the bad. Doc

Thanks. This is the kind of advice I need. I have spent lots of time on different wheelers, but never owned my own. I was looking at smaller models, but with the price I got this one for, it made no sense to get something less. The wife said just go pick one out. Got this one for $6300! I am relying on my friends and this forum for lots of tips.

I agree with crash.^^^^^ get a manual and do all your maintainence yourself...It will save you alot of loot....Just a couple other things....Looks like you got a real winner with the wifey, You get a new machine and she hunts too, you the man....But one word of advice if I could......Park that darn thing on your side of the garage..You know how these women drive lol....Congrats and welcome.....

I finally got my wife to go hunting, but she wouldn't wear the deer decoy costume. Go figure!
