Suit Of Armor, Part 2 – Protecting our ’05 KingQuad

In part one of our Suit of Armor series, we installed a full compliment of Suzuki’s skidplates, A-arm guards and shrouds to better protect our quad’s suspension and underbelly. To fulfill our protective needs, we recently installed a set of Suzuki front and rear bumpers. These tubular steel bumpers will help us keep the big debris (rocks, trees, large animals…) …

Suit Of Armor – Part #1 – 2005 King Quad

We took possession of our ’05 Suzuki KingQuad about 45 days ago, and have been putting it through its paces since then. In typical 4X4REVIEW fashion, we have raced it, thrashed it, jumped it, bumped it, scraped and spindled it, and in general, beat the snot out of it. The KingQuad’s plastic front shroud, muffler shield and skidplates were starting …

Progressive 512 Suspension System for Honda Rancher

 After we got our project Honda Rancher one of the things that began chafe our hides – literally – was the rock-solid, non-adjustable suspension. The stiff springs allowed the nimble Honda Rancher AT to handle like a sports car, but the tradeoff was a ride that would absolutely shake the fillings out of your teeth on rough trails. Well, our …

Gator Inc.’s Gator Straps

If you are like me then you probably don’t give a lot of thought to the straps you use to anchor your ATV to your trailer. I usually head to the local auto parts store and pick up whatever they happen to have on the shelf then complain about them when they don’t work right. Once everything is battened down …

BlackLine ATV Plow

There are few household chores that are more back-breaking, tedious and downright unpleasant than shoveling snow. Let’s face it, people die every year from this torturous task so there must be a better way. Better yet, what if we could get the snow out of the driveway and get a little time in the saddle of our ATV’s while we …

Warn Off-Road Lights for your ATV

Off Road lighting is essential to any dusk or evening trips you might make. While most ATV’s come with some sort of headlights, and even though our ’05 Suzuki KingQuad has three, we wanted to fill out the sides and the lower ground area in front of our quad for various reasons. We called our friends at Suzuki and inquired …

ATV Wagon by Bosski

There’s nothing like the call of the open road…getting away from it all… “roughing it.” These are some of the reasons why we buy ATV’s. However, even the most rugged explorer likes to enjoy a few creature comforts, which can mean extra gear. When properly equipped with bags, an ATV can carry quite a bit of gear, but there are …

You’ve been riding hard—exploring new territory for the better part of the day. The first fingers of beautiful sunset are just beginning to streak across the sky…but you promised your better half that you would be home by the time the street lights come on, and you are still 10 miles from your trailer. No problem, you are thinking, when, …

KFI Products A3000 ATV Winch

Accordingly, installing a winch on your ATV is probably the single best improvement you can make to the off-road capability of your rig.  Having a winch on your rig or on one of the rigs in your group allows you to attempt obstacles that you wouldn’t dream of trying without one. Think of it as insurance in a way. A …

Safety Seal’s ATV Tire Repair Kit

Death, taxes…and flats on your ATV—there’s no escaping the inevitable. Particularly when you and your ATV venture off into the wild. Most ATV’s don’t carry a spare, which means you’re left with two options when the tire deflates: you can ride back to camp on the flat—not recommended if you value your tire or your rim; or you can fix …
