New to the whole 6x6 world, just picked up a 03 bigfoot, so any info you guys have on known issues, or good upgrades etc. would be great. One question to start off with, what is a good jet setting for 8000 ft riding?

Hi J.T., welcome to the forum. For your jet question, start a new thread in the Engine forum and say what engine you have. Someone should be able to help.

Hello I am the proud owner of a Max II (my first). It is an oldie (1990) but I have enjoyed working on it. And of course driving it. My grandkids really got a kick when I took them for a ride. I live near Indianapolis Indiana. As far as I have learned there are three parks in the state to ride. And hope this summer I can make it to one or more of the parks. My friends and I used to ride dirt bikes several years ago.

Hello Gene, welcome to the forum. Congratulations on picking up your first 6x6. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Hello, my name is Joey and I am fairly new to 6 wheeling. The first one I rode in was a 02 Max II with 14 hp Briggs and Stratton, which I bough about 6 months ago. It has an aftermarket roll cage and led light strip which I added. It is truly a mean looking little tank and I will share pictures soon. I have loved it thus far but recently encountered a problem that I am hoping someone can help me resolve so I can get back in the woods. Thank you guys for your time and accepted my membership request!

I don't know what happened to the old thread so I will sticky a new one here. All of the introduction posts can go here so they are in one thread.

Don't be shy, tell us a little about yourself. Do you own an amphibious atv? If so, what kind. Where do you live, etc?

We look forward to meeting you.

Mike

its a shame that this great machine is so rare in Skandinavia. This forum is so usefull full of information Feels great to belong a group that shares same passion.

Sorry for bad spelling...

Hi Topi, welcome to the forum. It's good to have you here and your spelling was fine. You will have to take some photos of the places you use your Argo so that we can see one in action in Lapland.

Hello 6x6 world. I recently bought a old hustler/sidewinder 6x6. Its a rare exoskeleton model with roll bar. 18 hp briggs and stratton. It came with a few problems. One axle broken. Sprockets welded together making bearing change impossible....well a month later some 1 1/4 keyed shaft and some new sprockets and bearings from a tractor shop and I'm about ready for a first voyage. I'll probably post some pictures of the economy 1 1/4 axle/sprocket upgrades I made. Looking forward to years of fun!
