Salamander, I like your Argo,the camo is great.
Cory, what can I say, nice looking machine, and a great place to ride.
I haven't been to Alaska for a few years, I want to come back to go salmon fishing again. I wish I would have had a 6x6 there then.

Cory,,,What I have heard,,,is the back tires do the swimming,,I still have all of mine (6x6) on like salamander does,,I have not tried switching the front over to the way you have them now,,Maybe you should take your 8x8 for a swim now,,then just change the back 4 around,,see how it swims then. Someone on here should have that answer for you.,,,,Mark
Well come on up. Trailer the 6x6 up here this summer and lets go fishing!Originally Posted by hdble

I will have to do some experimenting it sounds like. swapping the rear two would work out better for pulling out of the banks and running through the mud since the weight is in the front. Sure hope thats right! Still a few more weeks till ice out though!
Think I figured 6 possible combos of tire positions, trying to get the most out of my poor swimmers. The way your conquest is now, in water, will pull out of the steepest bank in reverse. The back end being lighter mainly plus the tire direction. You can also back into water on a steeper or higher bank. The back tires doing the most swimming idea, is if they're out of the water further, ie not loaded. If you were caught in big waves, going in reverse with the back end higher... lots of things to think about. Some tires and direction will raise or lower the front end by pushing or pulling water under the tub. Like you said lot's of ways and testing. I would be inclined to run the back three in swim position and only the front in mud traction, if at all, because I know how poorly the rawhides swim the way you have them on. But you can always swim in reverse. You will like the way the runamuks swim! They don't do much in reverse, however. You'll like the ride, too. Try to stay off pavement and hard surface and not wear the fins down.
