    getting excited for the finished product!!! Looks like it could be getting close to time to grab the tires and rims off of old green to put back on old red (where i got them) we will do the final swaping latter.

    The Bando drove today. Early report says no torque, but it also has no muffler

    Working a deal on these tracks, and maybe even these wheels and tires, and cannot wait, don't they look cool. I think the reduced size could be an issue for flotation, but the rims are aluminum, not sure what the net loss in flotation will be, but with the lack of torque on the bandolero, the bit smaller tires could be beneficial

    The muffler and oil filter relocator were purchased today, we are picking up STEAM!!!!

    i'ld like to see how that 4th wheel is tied into that max. i like those adair tracks. i have the supertracks and i like the beefy size but i like the swimming adairs just as much. all the videos i see of those adairs, man they are unstoppable should be quite the rig. is this argo watertight with that oil change modification?

    The Adair tracks with the aluminum rims would be awesome on your Argo 8x8. I picked up an aluminum 8" inch rim and tire while Tim was at river run atv park last year, and this tire combo is really light. With the 20" inch tires that would give you back a lot of the torque that your lost by going to the higher reving Bandolero motor.

    Ya, I think you are right, D. Trev, no, it's not, needs a plate boogered in there to work. I am wondering how I will swim with this setup, time will tell
