Already used the winch to tow out some quad guys. The big news that is not so obvious is the high comp. piston and cam that I just put in. I can turn those 27's as fast as I want in any kind of mud. Also the mid and high end is a whole lot better. much better acceleration. It feels like a different machine! I would consider a better exaust but I still use it for hunting and do not want to make too much noise. Any one use a 350x carb notice a difference?

You may want to gusset the crap out of the side supports on your front rack... The magic 8 ball is telling me that its life is limited in current state...

I figured the rack might bend too. So far so good though. The trick to pulling out the 4 wheelers is to bury the rear tires on the trike down in reverse while hooked up to them otherwise you get pulled towards them. Then reel 'em in. I have had to anchor the bike to a tree to pull out the bigger 4x4's.
Fyi if the rack bends I can easily make a better one that a train could not bend. 'Till then I will keep using the one on it.

With the 27's I can top out at 57mph gps. I have spacers so it is way stable.
Any one know of a gear reduction for this thing? Just would like to have a lower 1st gear.

By the way those tires let the rear slide great around corners. Way safer than tires that grab while taking corners.

I like the way you think! Good looking Big Camo!

Where did you mount your relay for the winch I have one that I'm going to mount on mine and how did you mount yours to the front rack??? LOOKS GOOD:D

Found a spot behind the left cover for the relay. 1/4 plate welded to the front rack for the winch to mount on.

Got the first grind. The other one needs higher rpm to get the power out of it. I love the way this thing runs now.

This has to be my most favorite Big Red I've seen of all time. Awesome work on it! I'm not much of a utility guy but this gives me a little inspiration!
Dammit!
