I just got back from half a day of riding out here in southern AZ. These buggies amaze me more and more every time! We took on some insane terrain. I don't scare easy, and this stuff actually made me get a little nervous. It is the Sonoran desert after all. No joke 40-45 degree grades of loose rock and dirt. She bogged a bit, but I made it up every time. My buddy had to put his 400 yamaha in 4X4 on a few of them. Anyhow, I went to this place called Gunsight pass. It is about 5500 feet up and it is a gorgeous view. Enjoy!
I know you upgraded your rear tires, but you would be surprised how much better your buggy would climb over rocks with larger diameter front tires. My little 150 with 22" tires on all four corners pops the front up over 10" vertical steps and doesn't give up until the rear tires let go.
How do like your Garmin 200W? They are on sale right now for $200. I have a Pioneer S2 that does great on the road, but offers little information when in terrain. _________________ 08 Joyner SandViper 250

I love the 200W. I use it for the speedometer capability mostly on the buggy. It is cool because you can just interchange it between vehicles. For the trails I have a Garmin GPSmap 60CS which works good. About the 200W, the reason I chose that one is because I got it for 135.00. The store had a blowout sale and were selling them for 150.00, but marked them wrong. My gain! Anyhow, on to the tires. I do need to upgrade the fronts horribly! They steer amazingly well for their inferior quality though. That will be my next upgrade!
