Got a list of everything I want/need/need to do for my 96 Sportsman 500. just wanted to post it up and get opinions and maybe y'all know where i can find it cheaper somewhere else? anyways, here is what i got so far.

Wheels and tires (already ordered. in the mail.)
27" maxxis mud bugs
27x12x12 rear
27x10x12 front

need the stuff to relocate radiator

need the stuff to snorkel

 

Depending on what the offset of the wheels is you may need spacers on the front with tires that wide. You can get the fan on ebay but I don't know if that's the cheapest place. I wish I could be of more help.

 

yeah i knew the width could be an issue with clearance but i'm gonna see how it is when they come in.

 

will this work for the fan? it's the one from o'riely's i was talking about

well, first time i've tried to use ebay and got outbid on the axle with 1 second left. i hate ebay for the record.

 

If you go new with the axle I've had good luck with these guys.

for $170 after shipping i might just have to hold off on an axle... thats pretty steep.

gonna get the fan from o'riely

 

got a replacement axle from superatv.com for $109 shipped!

 

axle and tires on the way. should be here middle of next week.
gonna stop by o'riely tomorrow and get that fan. and saturday pick up everything from lowes to move my radiator and stuff for some "submarine" snorkels

 

Have you ever put in a front axle before?
