Thank you. It is a light weight outrigger for a utility truck with a boom, and a 12" piece of 2" square stock that fits into my receiver and into the outrigger.

Instigator, I don't think I've ever seen a quad tore down that far out on the trail. Was it that bad or just looks like it? And I also like the stand

It was 37 degrees that day... when I rolled it in I went in over my head. By the time I made it back to the truck I had ice forming on my skin

It was pretty bad. The Gorilla axles continued to fall out, so, I put the oem's in and rode the rest of the day. That is until 2 of the 4 rear lower control arm bolts broke. That is when, I decided to get a DIFFERENT make quad.

Ok, so I picked up an '07 Sportsman 700 EFI last week and decided to take it down to the Badlands offroad park near Attica, IN. I should have heeded my reconsidering thoughts about going since the special order mount for my Warn 4.0 winch took longer than expected. I couldn't wait any longer. "Well, I don't need a winch on a few test runs right?? That's only for when I get serious. But I'll bring a tow strap just in case." And why would I even think about bringing a come-a-long...if I don't need a winch, I don't need a come-a-long...right?!? WRONG!!! About 10 min after I get the quad off the truck, I'm ripping through the Orange trail (hilly/rocky/mud/water/etc.). All is well, very impressed so far. I go down a slope and around a bend and there it is, mud heaven. Before I could control myself, I started easing through the 20ft long puddle. Piece of cake, I've done 12" of water tons of tim...what the poop?! Instantly water was up to the top of the seat. I worked it, wiggled it, twisted it, tried everything possible and then it died. Crapola. Here I am almost a mile from the shop with a 750lb brick in waste deep water, knee deep mud, and no winch or come-a-long. I just had to pick the slowest day in Badlands history too!! It was a ghost town. After about 2-3 hrs of tracking down and using a come-a-long I was praying that it would start. I don't think that day would have ever ended had it not started. I was going to take a picture of it but then I realized that my camera and wallet were in the "water tight" cubby. It was water tight all right, kept the water in great until I opened it. suck. No pictures of that fiasco.

If you've never done or been a part of it, then shut up and listen to those who have.

I was doing about 50 when I saw this mess coming. Almost threw me over the bars. When I was sliding towards it I almost went for the right lane, but I figured that to be a bad course of action.lol

don't have a pic, but a few years ago i was riding a little kawasaki mojoave with a honda 90 dirtbike motor on our 20ft. deep frozen over pond, and all of a sudden the ice broke, and the quad went straight through the ice. i couldn't get it so i left it there, and once it warmed up we pumped all the water that we could into a swimming pool(to put the fish in). once we got all that done the quad was nowhere to be found, so we went down in the pond to look, and we sunt up to our chests in mud, and we never found the quad, but when that happens you really are stuck.
