A ride sounds good!! I eventually would like to get some different tires, since I'm from NE La. I of course was thinking of Outlaws 26". I would mainly use them during the hunting season....still pondering on what tire and size. Dont want to get to big, dragging those deer on the back is getting tougher and tougher the older I get. Thankds for the Congrads..we are very excited for my son and I have his head at the taxidermy getting a skull mount. Just got my pictures in yesterday and they came out great. Looks like I will be heading back to La. this Tuesday for the long weekend to do a little more hunting and riding. I sprayed WD-40 on almost everything on the left front area, squeak not as bad but still there. I was wondering where everyone went, the board has been quite lately.

Well, 20 days from the day i bought my Foreman, I headed back up Searcy and picked up my son a 04 Recon. The hard part is that it has to sit here at the house until Christmas. But what a surprise it will be. Man the weather is rough today!

26" Outlaws is what I have on my Rancher 4x4. Great tire is all I gotta say. About you getting your son a 04 Recon, thats awesome!! I bet he will really be surprised when he sees it on christmas morning. Great pick on the rides. One question though, is the 04 Recon you got him, is it a ES or manual footshift?? Just wondering because my brother has a 03 Recon ES and he has nother, but problems except for when he first bought it. Great for trails and wheelies though!! If you need any ideas for accessories for the Recon let me know and I can help you out!! Congrats on the two new rides!!!

I got him the manual shift. Just like my 450s, same color too ;D. I also picked up a 26" 589ms bigfoot kit with steel rims. I posted else where about my delima. The only differance is, that I got 9's all around even the back. All I do is hunt on it and I needed the extra pull but I didnt want all the mess from the wide wheels. Hopefully within the next two weeks I can try them out.

congrats on the new foreman and recon. 27 outlaws on stock rims or 27 itp 589s on stock rims both look good and perform good. my insurance is my 2 dogs and a shotgun,just in case someone tries to take it. the extended warranty is not worth it. if you put a lift on the foreman with the extended you just voided it with all your cv joints and everything dealing with that. a snorkel thought does not. and a few other little things void your warranty more.

New delima, this thread will probably need to be moved to the tire thread but any way. I went to my dealer and picked up a 26" 589 m/s bigfoot set on steel wheels. They were all 26-9-12 and not having much time I asked why not 12's for the rear and I was told something about getting all muddy and . Well, I went to Louisiana to go hunting and after a morning hunt I took the stock wheels off and found that they gave me the wrong size hub cover, "too big". So I called every dealer in NE LA. and no one could help me, and needless to say the stockers went back on. I came back to LRAFB and ordered the hubs from my dealer...about two weeks..maybe three ago. Yesterday i called the dealer and talked to parts and asked if the had the hubs and they said yes, so I asked the gentleman if they could swap the 9's for 12's in the rear, he said yes but the 26-12-12 rears would come in contact with my exhaust and other parts of 'old yeller is this true, everything I have read said that 26-12-12's should fit on a stock Foreman. Am I going to have contact problems, from what I could tell the front wheel should come closer to touching the front fender than any thing else. Need some help guys, I would like to only make one more trip back to Searcy. Thanks in advance.

I'm just cocncerned that I'm going to have the "26-12-12" put on and I get back to the camp next weekend to mount them and they actually do hit. It's not that I dont trust the dealer it's just that there are a lot of people running 26-12-12 on the rear of stock vehicles. Granted they may be different brands of tires but they cant be that much differance in the size. It is just weird that no one is running a stock Foreman 26" 589ms set up. And no, by the look of your picture I shouldnt have any problems. Thanks, for I'm probably going to go off of your picture to make up my mind what to do.

They shouldn't rub. I have 26x10-12 Outlaws on front and 26x12-12 Outlaws on the rear and mine don't rub at all. The Outlaws are on my Rancher too!
