[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1621680, member: 2736"] This was also what I saw with the electrics and with the extremely rough terrain there weight just could not go where the conventional 4x4 could without abusing them. The electrics do have there place and are nice and quite on normal/most lease roads, but maintenance is/was a big issue with me and the machine that i have used for the past 11 years has only needed one set of tires, one engine battery and oil changes. No other maintenance has been required. Total maintenance cost for the last 11 years has been around $500.00 plus the ability to go anywhere I have the nerve to go makes the choice simple for me. I don't have anything against the electrics, they are just not for me and my uses, and the main reason I added a muffler to complete the total package. Another issue with the new 4x4s is engine size. it seems like they are getting bigger every year and bigger is not necessarily better, They are louder as a rule and in many cases only add to the speed, not usability. In My Opinion, the engine size that seem to take care of all the hunters needs are somewhere between 350 CCs and 500 CCs and they are fast enough to kill you. Just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
