Need an early 2000 small 4x4, advice please!

[Scott M]

Hi all. I've had a 1994 350 Warrior for 15 years or so, love it but, I'm wanting it to be a 4x4. With my limited knowledge I've come up with maybe a 2005ish wolverine 450 4x4.  I really need advise on what to look for though!

I'm liking the prices on the early 2000s. The biggest concern is it fitting it my truck. I have a 2016 Colorado crew cab (5 foot bed). I'm not worried about length at all just width of the front wheels I think I guess...

I think I heard that the Kodiak is the same as the Wolverine but it has a front locker??? I'm not overlooking other brands, I just searched around and came up with these.

What do you guys think? What would you get for under about $5 grand, 4x4, that is relatively light weight and will fit in my pickup?

Honda 300 Fourtrax.

I was going to say, almost describing a Fourtrax to a T.. Kawasaki Bayou is another good smaller cc machine. And I know you said 2000s but the mid/late 90s Suzuki king quads are great smaller machines with good 4wd/diff lock..

did Kawasaki make the bayou 220 in 4x4? they did make a 300. The 220 is a perfect "small-big" size. Not a toy, but not the size of a ford ranger.
