Are you tired of riding the same old trails? Have you ever wanted to just pack up and explore a new place? Maybe you live in the Midwest and you’ve always wanted to explore the Western deserts, or maybe you are tired of reading about legendary places like Moab, Tincup and Red Rock and want to see them for yourself. …

If you like pickup trucks then you probably like dualies even more. Let’s face it, there is just something cool about cruising down the road in a full size, heavy duty pickup with four wheels under the bed. When www.dual-concepts.com asked us to check out their Clic Dual Wheel system for ATVs we found ourselves wondering if the same logic …

It doesn’t matter whether your ATV has a locking front diff, the latest fuel-injected, big-bore engine or even the most advanced independent suspension available, without the right tires you aren’t going anywhere. All of the performance your ATV has to offer gets to terra firma, or not-so-firma in some cases, through four little patches of rubber. ATV tire design has …

In part one of our Suit of Armor series, we installed a full compliment of Suzuki’s skidplates, A-arm guards and shrouds to better protect our quad’s suspension and underbelly.

Let’s face it, people die every year from this torturous task so there must be a better way. Better yet, what if we could get the snow out of the driveway and get a little time in the saddle of our ATV’s while we …

You’ve been riding hard—exploring new territory for the better part of the day. The first fingers of beautiful sunset are just beginning to streak across the sky…but you promised your better half that you would be home by the time the street lights come on, and you are still 10 miles from your trailer. No problem, you are thinking, when, …

Accordingly, installing a winch on your ATV is probably the single best improvement you can make to the off-road capability of your rig.  Having a winch on your rig or on one of the rigs in your group allows you to attempt obstacles that you wouldn’t dream of trying without one. Think of it as insurance in a way. A …

Death, taxes…and flats on your ATV—there’s no escaping the inevitable. Particularly when you and your ATV venture off into the wild. Most ATV’s don’t carry a spare, which means you’re left with two options when the tire deflates: you can ride back to camp on the flat—not recommended if you value your tire or your rim; or you can fix …

  When it comes to personal property, there are two eternal truths. First, you should do everything you can to protect your property.
