My first Argo configuration advice and questions.

No problem. Once I get it back permanently it will be complete, and I'll make a video of everything. It is as prepared for every condition as much as possible. I am planning on doing a lot of riding. Some days, I'll just take it to a lake, and do some boating. Since the main motor is over 25 hp, I will need a boating license.

steve, besides a video of riding it will be nice to see one as a walkaround of the argo showing all the upgrades,tracks,winches, outboard motor,etc. upclose for all to get a good look when it's all done. thanks, johnboy va.

That is way cool!
The tracks should be at Barrows sometime this week. Yep, as stated, mine are all steel. I wanted the maximum traction possible, especially in the snow. My tracks are a bit more money than those stated, but will be worth it when I don't get stuck. I will be back at Barrows next Saturday, as we will be celebrating my wife's birthday. I am still struggling to put together the maiden voyage video. I was watching the footage on the GoPro itself, and stopped half way through. From that point on, it treated it as two separate videos. I have some very good video editing software, so I need to get the video on my main computer, then patch it together, and finally edit out the expletives. The more I use the system, the better I will get at creating and editing the videos. For now, it is a learning curve.

I still can't wait to get Juggernaut back on its final delivery. I know I am going to get many years of enjoyment out of it, and with the canopy, rainy or snowy weather is no issue.

the canopy and tracks will only add to joy.have fun steve!

I had so much fun racing around my back yard, or testing grounds, without creating a single rut. It is back at Barrows ATV to he finished. I do have a severe case of Argo withdrawal. I am hoping to get it back by the end of October or early November. This time, it will have the canopy, tracks, and trailer.

I knew for the last 47 years that this was going to be fun, but until I got some time behind the sticks, I had no idea how much fun it really is.

Digging those rims, really sharp.

Truly a mighty Argo!

The Admiral HT transmission. It also has the brake fan, the hood fan, and the heater, along with the HD drive belt and alternator with Optima battery. All the wiring for the rear winch receiver, and brake lights were done while the top was off. Barrows told me it was much easier that way, and it makes sense. The outboard motor is being fitted to attach to the rear winch receiver plug, and the gas will come from a quick connect to the main Argo tank. We are sending off the canopy to get the screens put on. The trailer will be at Barrows shortly, and is being fitted with rubber mats, so the tracks won't damage it. There will be containers for supplies, and the outboard stand will be in the front of the trailer in the V. We are looking at some type of hoist to raise and lower the outboard onto Juggernaut.

Good to finally see Juggernaut!
Does it have the admiral trans or the regular trans?
60 miles is a lot of riding!
