I had one and it was tuff and bullet proof. There geared low even in hight range and are a tank in low range.
Go on youtube there are many good vids on how to snockel a ATV. Don,t for get the front and back diff vent lines have to go to the air box.

No mods I just put aggressive 25" tires on it. It went up to the seat in water without a problem.
I sold it to a buddy 6 years ago and its still going strong. I just bought a 350 Grizzly in the hope of having the same luck.
