In the market for an Sports Utility atv

[BowHTR]

We built this add-on for a John Deere diesel side x side. We added a platform in the back with seating for two. Added a hydraulic lift unit in front with swivel seating for two handicapped individuals. The front lift unit will set on the ground to load the two in the front. After they are buckled in the unit will lift hydraulicly for ground clearance. There are 2 long gun holders in the front along with cup holders. The back features holders for 4 long guns and 2 medium coolers.The front operates with a controller much like one on a winch.

so what do you do at night time for light? Its hard to tell if the headlights go past the front lift or not.

This was built for a customer that was going to use it on his ranch up around San Antonio. He was only planning on taking the kids on day hunts.

The back seats are for 2 ranch hands. They are on board to insure that if one of the kids on front makes a shot, the animal will go down and not get away wounded.

Buy a Jeep... ... ... it will go way more places.

Except for the thousands of miles of ATV trails in the west that Jeeps are far to wide to fit on. (or illegal)   

The kid asked about ATV's why do you even bring up Jeeps, very different vehicles for different purposes.

Any suggestions for me? I'm looking at the recon at the moment. What i want are head lights, red or silver body, can carry two full grown men(Which the Recon can not). And something with automatic transmission. Also trying to keep the budget under4-5K

good luck buying a NEW utility vehicle for that price. Recon?! thats a little toy, there is all size  ATVs, look at the POLARIS ATVs. right now i have a 420 Honda Rancher.

I never saw "new" in his post anywhere.  420 Ranchers are real nice bikes and are actually in his price range for a fairly new bike.  The only advantage they have over a Rubicon though is that they are fuel injected not carbureted.  Makes it easier if you want to put a pipe or high flow filter on it.  You don't have to jet them, they automatically adjust all that for you.

Whats probably going to end up happening is we will go to the dealership's around my area. Going to try to not get a newer model but something cheaper in that price range. If that fails then we will look in adds as a last resort.
