Couple pictures from a quick trip out this weekend after working on the Argo for a bit the week before. went threw all of the wiring and tied it up as well as replaced the old battery and gave her some fresh paint. Anyways here are some pics down by the north Saskatchewan river.

looked like a great day to be out!!! I am sooooooo looking forward to going out for a ride.. We took my frontier out for it's first ride and went pretty good. Bad thing was we only went on pavement.. Gotta go and find some trails.

That looks like a fun place to ride.

Good looking argo!! Why are you on that flat spot instead of up in the wooded hills, lol. Nice pictures!

[george_pimpdaddy]

It was a great day nice and warm and that flat spot is actually the north Saskatchewan river. the frozen shores were a great place to really open it up and enjoy the cool air. We did venture up into the trails for a good bit but its mostly tighter quad trails with lots of sharp turns and next on the repair or replace list is brakes so it was more enjoyable out in the open.

Now that looks like alot of room to play

Is there a ryme to your tire arrangement that I'm not getting?

[george_pimpdaddy]

Yeah I know that I have 2 tires on the pass side that are facing the wrong way kinda happened when i went in to buy 2 new tires and had to pick em up another day to find that they mounted them different. oh well just means i need to buy more of the new ones and get them mounted up proper or buy that fancy tire changer at princess auto

fun time on the Argo

Well this last week has been so nice and warm out that we took the Argo out yet again to our fav little spot on the river bank. Anyways here's some pictures and a short video out on the water.










Also a quick question are the brake pads easy to change? Think its time to do them

Great video/Pictures! I noticed a giggle from the camera lady when you moved out into deeper water. Tires, are they the 25x12x9 Avenger tire or the Frontier tire. They were swimming very well. Seem to work well on the machine.

Brake pads are not too hard to change.... you have to take the brakes all apart, that is if you have the non-hydraulic ones,(don't know about them) then drill the rivets out and rivet the new ones in. the hard part is paying for them. $125.00 plus for four (4) pads and rivets. After I installed them......NO difference. It came down to adjustment. Once the pads were square to the face of the rotors it was a matter of adjusting how close the pads were to the rotors(I got mine so they were Just touching). I had to do this a couple of times but now they work very well. I don't how thin your pads are, but if you have lots of pad before the rivet heads are going to score the rotors maybe all you need is adjustment.
