I am new to posting on this site, but have been viewing it near daily for that last several weeks.
I live in Alaska and I am considering strongly purchasing a Mudd-Ox. I went to the local dealer, had a test drive and was very impressed.
What has me stumbling at this point is the base price of $23,500 in Alaska, compared with $19,000 in lower 48. $4,500 difference seems steep, so I am considering purchasing out of state.
I am sold on the machine - no doubt - but if something happens I am very skeptical on service.
I am giving the benefit of the doubt temporarily to the dealer, only because it is newly established.
To spend this kind of money, which is no drop in the bucket, I want to know that the dealer will stand behind the product, and is capable to do so.
So, that is my dilemma - any thoughts?
Also, I noticed someone had upgraded to Kendra Bearclaw and aluminum wheels. I would also be interested in upgrading tires but was wondering about other potential alternatives. Perhaps like a Titan 589 M/T - a heavy very aggressive tread tire. Is this a possibility? They are very heavy tires, but you could couple them with an aluminum rim to counter the weight.
I guess, bottom line, would there be much benefit? I am not interested in tracks at this time, but will be using the Mudd-Ox for some serious mudding and tundra travel. I have an ATV and the Titan 589's were invaluable. Especially because of the bead protection (about 3/8" rubber) that surrounds the rim. Where I travel I can ill afford to get stranded with too many tire issues.
I also will be pulling a trailer 50% of the time (A pac-rat outfitter manufactured by Plaschem in Anchorage). I had a lot of problems with the tires being knocked of the rims in rocky mudholes. Solved that by putting tubes in all 4 tires and have not had a problem since. Are tubes an option for the stock tires or is it a moot point?
Sorry so long-winded!! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If I can figure out the photo upload, I will post a pic from moose hunting
