Good morning/day/evening/nite..... when ever you get on line... I wanted to thank you for letting me in and am looking forward to seeing all of you out at Fischer's this year. I am so sorry that I don't have a 6X6 yet but realy want one. I am always out at Pine Lake working hard to make sure that things are wounderful for yall as well as the rest of us. Well I am praying that by next year I will have something to ride in too. Looking forward to another wounderful year.

Welcome to the site! We all sincerely appreciate what you for us at Pine Lake. There will be plenty of machines that you can try out there, so make sure you try out some machines and get a feel for what you like and before you know it, you'll be an AATV owner.

Hi Guys, Tom from Missouri here. I am looking to get my first 6x6, either an Argo or a Max II this Summer. I will mainly use if for deer hunting-hauling treestands into the woods and hopefully a deer out of the woods.

Hi Tom, welcome to the forum. Good luck in your search for a 6x6.

Welcome twright,

It sounds like you have a Max of some sorts. They are notorious for jumping off trailers when started, driving away by themselves when left in forward, and driving like a 1970's at home gym. All this is because of a couple of springs attached to the bottom of the sticks. Remove the springs and take them to a good scrap yard to prevent anyone else from attempting to drive with them. This will solve 90% of your problem. You probably should turn your idle down a hair as well, but it will be far less noticeable when your springs are removed.

Big hello from Slave Lake, Alberta . Watched the site for a while, lots of good info, I have a '12 750hdi 8x8 with tracks.. I was on a quad rally from hell yesterday... I was towin side by sides an quads for 11 1/2 hrs... And still we only completed 1/4 of the course.... Ohhh the carnage... Saw more broken axles,tie rods, rims and studs , and belts than I'd ever imagine... Pretty extreme conditions... Long story short is.... I want to build a higher mount rear winch bumper.. (way better for rescue towing)... I saw pics of a real nice setup on here before, but can't find the info again... I believe it was a fella that re-built a conquest from scratch ... Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!

Hi Bushbaby, welcome to the forum. I just searched for Argo Rear Winch Mount and got several hits. I'm not sure which thread exactly you were looking for but here is one from my search that may help: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/gener...-mounting.html

Hello my names Victor. I live in southern Arizona. I'm looking for a 6x6 or 8x8 after I got to drive one. If anyone knows of any for sell on the cheap side near me please let me know. i'm a mechanic by trade so I dont care if it runs or not as long as the frame and body are in good shape.

Hi Victor, welcome to the site. Try starting a new thread in the wanted forum here on the site while also keeping an eye out on Craigslist and eBay. I'm sure something will pop up near you for a good price if you are patient.

I am new to this site. I grew up on the farm and used all kinds of off road equipment. That was work I liked to have fun off road and mud bogging as well. I just had dirt bikes and go karts but getting in to mud that was not as fun. I had fun with an old 5 wheeled John Deere Gator but I was limited with that as well. Now I have a 3 year old so I can't afford to hurt my self on my enduro bike. Now I have a 2002 Max iv this is truly a go anywhere family fun vehicle. Even before buying this buggy I was snooping around this site and it helped with my decision.

Well My Name is Odie and I am from Salt Lake City Utah I really haven't even driven one before and I know i want to own one but the question is which one is for me and my family I have the opportunity to buy a 8x8 argo conquest that runs and drives just needs a new body and tub or a amphicat 6x6 that just needs cleaned up. That is why joined is to learn from the best.

Hi McMurray Mud and Odie, welcome to the forum.
