Very heavy, key is momentum in the dunes. Light is right in the dunes

just get a real aggressive set of knobbies. ive seen some of those style ATV's in the deep dunes in Glamis but they never stopped. not sure if they were 4x4 or not.

400man (Hasn't posted in a while) had his son in law on a 4x4 and it did fantastic on the stock worn knobbies. He had it aired down to 3-4 psi and it went everywhere. Jason even preferred it in two wheel drive. When driven sensibly, they can be taken most anywhere.

we towed a buggy from near china wall to the canal bridge with a big bear on stock wheels... at night. It was a long night.

I have a YFZ and still bring the Grizzly out every trip. I put 25" GBC mudder paddles on the rear and nothing can stop the quad. I mainly use it as a tow-truck now.
The only problem is that it is very top heavy on steep transitions.
