it was a throw up between a boat and an ATV. i figure with hunting, fishing, archery, racing, bowfishing, poker and work...i had enough hobbies to do alone. my wife can actually enjoy this with me and we take it out every weekend. it's a blast.

its expensive too lol. this is my first axle, but in 2 months ive done a 1.5" lift, snorkels, wheels and 27" tires and remachined the transmission to gear it down more and give it more up top. since nothing is ever good enough, im about to pull the lift, wheels and tires and go for a 3" lift with 30" tires. im sure more axles will follow after that lol

I prefer the hydroplaning method. Too much of a mess to actually get stuck and then unstuck lol.

Nice! You'll love the 30" zillas, I have a couple rides on mine on the 700 and they do great and are alot easier on axles!
