Hello there, I am currently working with some others in my school on building a floating dune buggy and stumbled across your website. Looks like there are some serious riders out there who might be able to give me some tips on exactly what goes into these machines =D

a big hello from afk!

hey everyone just stopping in to say hi! i recently picked up an argo 8x8 conquest its got a kawi engine. not sure of the year. odd tho its got 4 bolt wheels. someone spray painted it including over the stamps ect. has 8 flats 1 bent in half wheel! but runs like new. has 110 hours on it. "yes i checked to make sure they didn't unhook it "

i think it will be a nice project to fix up. had it on lifts all wheels spin ect. chains looks nice and tight anyways! just figured i'd pop in and do some reading. take care everyone!

gorilla62 and afk,
Welcome!!!

gorilla62,
Post some pictures of the floating dune buggy. Sounds cool!!

afk,
That sounds like it could be a real nice machine with a good owner. Only 110hrs, wow, just broke in!!! Those argos are real brutes!!!

welcome to the site gorilla62 and afk. gorilla62 I too would like to see that floating dune buggy project

[afk]

thanks LarryW its in fair shape i think. i'll likely upload some photos next week. 110 hours is not bad at all. question is what year it is. its missing the back side seats. leaks near the wheel seals. easy fix. had a windshield but glass was spider webbed. other then that seems to be in good shape. has hitch and ball. has that Kawasaki engine. 20hp i do believe but it seems to have 4 bolt wheels. which seems odd. i always thought the conquests had 5 bolt or 3. my buddy had a 6x6 that had 4X100. we removed the axles in the middle and put 15" rwd car wheels "aluminum" and put super swappers on it. to this day theres nothing it won't go threw. not the fastest. but surely one of the largest i've seen. i think this will be a fun machine once i find a wheel for cheap. maybe more then 1. i think the guy was driving around on all flats for a while. so all of them rims are likely damaged. :P

Hello Johnny. Big welcome to the forum. Ga mudbug is also a forum member who lives in Geogia. He has an Argo Frontier 6x6. He often rides at Doles atv park. I know he would love to have another 6x6 to ride with. How far would this atv park be from you?

Hi,

My name is harry and i have never ridden in an aatv but i am interested in them. I am retired USAF MSGT Metals Technology (1993) I have worked my whole life in aviation (Machinist/welder,sheetmetal,composites). but have now retired. I have learned a lot on this site and it seems a good bunch of guys are on here.
I would like to ride in an aatv but don't know anyone who owns one.
I do ride motorcycles on and off road. I look forward to reading your posts on this website

Hi people, I had a Max 4 but it was a 1975, so the motor was not the best. A 6x6 is something you take to rough spots and I have a bad leg so I can not walk out if I get in a bad spot. My wife ( I agree) said sell it so I did, I miss it a lot. Maybe I can get one that I can depend on to get me in and back out. I do love the machines. Robertduck

Harry,

If you come to the forum on a regular basis , you,ll probably find a forum member close to you ,who would also be glad to give you a ride in one.



Robert ,

Thats what group rides are for. If one of us gets stuck , there,s always some one around to help pull you out.
