Hello all, new member from east-central Oklahoma. In mid April I purchased a new 2016 Honda Rancher TRX420 TE1 (ES). A dealership was blowing them out for $3,999.00 out the door and I couldn't resist. I decided to have the stock 2 ply Maxxis tires replaced with 26x10x12 8 ply Sedona Rip Saw radials, as well as Sedona aluminum rims (black powder coated) all around. Love the additional width and ground clearance.
I got around to mounting my Grizzly 15 cooler on the rear rack with turnbuckles, and my Pelican boxes on the front racks with an alternative mounting method which doesn't involve drilling holes in the bottom and using U-bolts.
Yesterday I mounted a Warn XT15 using a KFI mount. The XT15's width is 10.3" instead of the normal 13.9" which I needed due to the larger tires. Fit was perfect and it sits entirely behind the skid plate. The XT15 is discontinued (2011 I think), but I found a new one for $199.00 and couldn't pass it up. It's 1,500 lbs, but I always use a snatch block anyway, so this is little concern for me. I sort of like the synthetic rope. All I've had before was wire rope.
I've done the normal things like putting dielectric grease in all electrical plugs as well as spark plug boot.
Maiden voyage was last week for 27 miles out around the lake, oil field roads, etc.
My previous ATV's were two Kawasaki Bayou 300's and a 2005 Rancher TRX350 TE1 (ES).
Looks like a good forum to read and learn from. Thanks all.
