Well, my family is slowly switching hobbies. We are riding less and bogging more. So im thinking about selling my 440 and building myself a little truck. Around here I know i can easily get 3500 to 3800 out of my 440, its in very good condition and has a fresh engine with maybe 20 hours tops. Brand new 450r shocks and a brand new steering stem. It was carefully went over not long ago and inspected for crack in the frame too.

Anyways, IDK if I want to keep my 440 and ride maybe...10 times a year, or sell it....build a small mud truck and go bogging every other weekend.

If I do sell it, I think im going to either buy a Toyota truck with the 22r engine, or buy a Suzuki Samurai and put a 4.3 Vortech engine it it with some 2.5 ton militairy running gear. I already have the 2.5 ton rear end and im going to be buying a front end soon.

Im having a hard time deciding between 440 or truck, because I love nothing more than a nice motocross track and a perfect day. But I also love slingin mud 60 feet in the air...so, IDK what i want to do.

BTW, I also have a 302 Engine that needs a set of heads, which I also have (edelbrock performer RPM)....

Sorry for the long post, but im torn between the two options...what would you guys do?

Keep the 440, when you ride it again, you'll be glad you kept it.

I bought a cheap Jeep Cheroke, a little beat up but runs like a beast for $600. All I need are some decent mud tires and I'm set to go. As I get more money I'l invest in a lift and etc.

Keep the quad!:macho
