Hey everyone,
Gimme shout if you are wanting to ride around chattanooga or at PC.
im ready to ride:cute:

No i dont have the good PC map.
I can get one soon as i see a ranger though.
Yeah most of the trails i have found are jeep trails but there is a place very close my PC that has some radical stuff is down three knotch road.
The best riding is proably over in sequatchie valley in several huge coves.
The through trip on coppinger is famous.Its can be done with hard core 4 by 4 trucks though.
Still there is alot of challenging stuff in there.Im really stoked to ride it.
It appears that my gas gauge does not work , i rode about 4 hours and there was no difference on the gauge.
I was letting it idle befor i loaded it up and it cut off and would not crank , i turned to reserve and it cranked immediatly.
I dunno ?
But im ready to ride whenever.

Went back today and found alot of new trails.
My gas metre has not moved lower in 6 hours of riding.
Obviously ive been looking in the tank.
Today i was about to load up and leave and the atv just cut off.
I trieds to crank it for a fe seconds , then turned to reserve and she cranked Imm.
Like one half a second.
There is about 2 inches at most in tank more like 1.5
So yall recone the meters is gone.
Always somthing huh ?

Holy chit ive been riding it up hills around my place which is ina well known atv spot.

I cant say im to thrilled about turning radius , but hey i got reverse.
A car came past my drive and yah yah i know no going on the road but i live in suck creek canyon.
I pulled out and caught up with it between my two driveways haha.

-
Here is whats its boiled to
Rincon 05 model 5100 bucks w/ winch
500 hundred hours all the fixins
or
Forman 800 hours 3900 bucks all fixins no winch
what yall think now
-
I found this one for 3900.
seems really solid
2004 Honda Foreman 450 ES 4X4, new condition, 450 miles, 100 hours, no mud on this one.
I got pics send umm later
-
-
What about this one ?
-
That Honda Foreman on the bottom I think would fit exactly what you want. Plus it already has the extra seat for your wife. When she is ready to be on her own or you guys are ready to purchase another, the Honda will offer what you want and possibly more.
Another big + is that it's a Honda. They live forever.
Yeah but its only two wheel drive

Welcome to the community!
All great advice posted. In your price range, it will be difficult to find something new with what you need. I went from a Kawasaki Bayou 220, to a Yamaha Kodiak 450, to a Suzuki King Quad 700 all within 3 years, because I just felt like I out grew them one by one.
I've had plenty of passengers even on the Bayou, but nothing carried 2 passengers better than more power and 4WD. Eventually you'll want to ride solo.
I would probably try and find a used 450-550 4WD utility atv to start. You should be able to find something decent for under 3k. I think that if you go with anything lower than that with 2 people, you will regret it, when it comes time to climb those hills and cross those streams. I would search on Craigslist.
Here are some pics for $2-3500 in your area:
Suzuki Quad Master 500 4x4 auto
Which one of those nis the best deal ?
-
What does this meen ?"
This is a 2 wheel drive and both axles engage "
Sorry ,but im ultra noobie.
I would deff. want four wheel drive or all wheel drive.
Got a lot to learn ehh?
Nice pic BuckBillly ...
You guys look ready to ride...
Yeahhh.
