I can’t decide what 4Wheeler to spend more time and money on (and likely keep). I’d really like some stories and/or opinions. Are the 2001s and the like as tough and reliable as the early Fourtrax/Foreman?
My heart says fix up the 2001, sell it to complete the ’88 Foreman. My brain says fix of the 2001 and sell the 1988 Foreman. I really don’t have a need or storage space to keep both. Both need a set of tires so that’s a wash.
1988 – (Even I decide to live with the natty plastics)
Pro – Rides like a tank and tough as nails
Pro – A lot of time and $$ already invested
Pro – Runs well
Con – Still needs a lot of work and $$
Con – Parts less available and more $$$
2001
Pro – Parts available and relatively cheap
Pro – Already looks great
Pro – Carb rebuild and tires to complete. (Hopefully)
Pro – Has a pull start
Con – Is not a 1988 straight axle
Con – Does not run (yet)
Con – IFS (lot of moving parts)
Thanks.
