Yea, all personal preference for sure. We don't have much water associated with our deep mud holes. Maybe 6" of water on top of a 6' deep mud hole. This is a pretty solid unit. Lots of fun to drive, great suspension and still goes decent through the mud. Gets stuck a lot but it winches through the deep stuff easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad the owner of the X3 also owns the biggest ATV and Sled shop in the state. He has a different set of tires on that buggy every weekend. He had portals and BKT's on it about 2 weeks ago.

AKIQPilot Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 This guy wheeled with us last weekend. This rig went pretty good. He could keep up with us through most of the trails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys here use them primarily for the gear reduction and the fact you can get big tires on them. They know its a slow ride with portals. Several friends pull them off and put them back on depending on what trail they are going to ride that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Our riding areas are very diverse. We start out at a trailhead with a few miles of muddy wooded trails. Mud from 12" to 6' deep with just a skiff of water on top. The trail leads to alpine tundra that is basically bottomless swamp. As long as you don't rip through the terra you can gently float on top and make it across football field sized swamps. These alpine swamps lead to rocky mountain trails. We are well above treeline by this time. Trails might be 10-15 miles in one way. No one rig does everything perfect so they are all a compromise. Within 30 minutes of Wasilla we have no less than a dozen different high mountain waterfalls or crashed WW2 bombers or other points of interest. There are dozens of ways to get to every site. We typically go wheeleing every weekend and some summers we never go on the same trail twice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are slow and consume lots of fuel but they go through bottomless muskeg really good. On the down side they are super rough riding, and maintenance hogs. They are a tool to be used in the woods and wilderness not something you would take out to have fun with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
