Got her on thursday, took it out yesterday. Such a blast! Its a 2009 Arctic Cat 700 Mud Pro Some specs:

 

-28" mud tires on 12" aluminum wheels

-fully independent suspension

-14" ground clearance, 10 inches of travel

-selectable 4wd and front locker

-snorkel

-full gauge cluster

-hitch, winch

-CVT

 

thing is a beast, she flies too. what a complete change from my dads 84 four-trax (clutchless manual) and my stepdads friend's (true manual). i thought i would miss shifting, but i really dont. its nice having all the power basically on tap and not having to worry about it.

 

here are some pics- and she fits perfectly in the bed:

Sweet! Looks like a lot of fun.

 

What is the green thing sticking up in front of the handle bars? Sorry, I don't spend much time around 4 wheelers anymore.

thats a "snorkel" they integrated it in that quad, because the mudding scene for 4x4 quads is big money right now, AC(Arctic Cat) decided to get into the game, and save the people a little money by setting it up with a higher suspension, and a integrated snorkel, and bigger tires as well so you don't have buy as much after market stuff, you can buy a 10k quad and your pretty much ready to race, where you buy a 8 or 9k quad you then need to buy the after market tires and wheels, and get your snorkels set up, and then lift the quad, new axles then to, you save quite a bit by buying it pre-done by AC that way.

Ahhh the mud pro...my dream machine. That thing is awesome. Throw some HID's on there, it will be the best $60-70 you ever spent. Your first night ride in the woods will prove it. :thumbs:
