First mod?
Brand new King quad is still sitting on the trailer without it's first ride yet, but I can't help thinking about buying some mods.... especially with the mod King, Keith around...
I was thinking of ordering a winch today, but I was also thinking that if I get stuck enough to need a winch, I probalby need armor etc.
What do you guys think, winch first, armor first? Anything else?... and yes, yes I know just get out and ride it. I've been trying to but that is a whole other story. Hope to go ride at Prairie City tonight if anyne wants to come out, otherwise probalby be there this Saturday too.

Honestly, I would get a winch first. You can still get stuck in snow and mud without plates.
The only winch to get IMO, is the 3000CE, not CI. The CI winches do NOT have a mechanical brake.
So...if you find yourself like this.....you'll slide back down without a mechanical break. The 2500 winches are not sealed....the 3000CE is.

How much armor does Larry have on his. I think the Winch would be my first (speaking from experience ... snow issues).
If you are riding with this group EVERYONE has a winch. but then again EVERYONE also has good skid plates...
YOU MAKE THE CALL.

Call Montana Jacks, and ask for Steve. Steve IS the WINCH GURU....He's one of the few non-Warn authorized service centers.
He's like a human Wikipedia on winches and how they work.

If you're riding with others that have winches I'd look at a set of tires first. My experience with the stock tires was bad, bias ply and didn't wear worth a crap, 3 flats in 200 miles. If you have a good set of tires you can get through a lot more terrain that the stockers won't.
