    GreenFoot Global

    I am staunchly anti-Multi level marketing as IMO its just another name for a pyramid scheme. However, this one seems that it may be legit and a guy I work with is selling this stuff. Any thoughts? It's another of the too good to be true products...I think its BS...

    normal 4x4 operations

    SO the X I have right now is the first 4x4 I've ever owned. We got about 8 inches of snow the other day so I had my first experience driving with 4x4. I noticed that when I turn the wheel pretty far in either direction (like in a parking lot, or when parking) the steering wheel starts jerking...

    Y pipe to cat bolts

    The gasket between my y-pipe and cat is totally shot and I'm replacing it the next few days. Any idea where if anyone carries "stock" bolts for it, or should I just hit up Ace Hardware for a nice set of nuts and bolts and washers and make do? Looking at it from first glance, I have a feeling...

    So has anyone had a growling/groaning/grinding noise when both coming to a stop, and taking off from a dead stop? The best way to describe it is my car makes the noise that kid in the grudge movie makes...not the cat crying, the growling noise. What the heck?! Any input would be good

    Rear Main

    I don't post very often, but I thought I'd throw this and see what sort of feedback you guys can give me. Towing jet skis this afternoon and suddenly there is smoke coming out from under the X and oil spraying all over the place. Pull over, can't seem to see where its coming from. Check the...

    blower issue

    Hey guys So when I first picked up my X, the fan only worked on "Hi", and replacing the switch fixed that. However, even on the "Hi" setting, in my opinion its still blowing on low. So for the first gen x's is the fan not that strong? High in my x is not even as strong as the low setting in...
