Thats what I did to except I went for more of a hard core offroading quad; an arctic cat 650 H1. Let me tell you, 12 inches of ground clearance, 10 inches of suspension travel and a front locker yield some incredible terrain capabilities. It just barely fits in the dak, but in the long run its going to save me a lot of money on repairs by saving offroading damage to the dakota.

Those 660 raptors are beasts. I used to work at an atv/snowmobile retailer with my father that sold arctic cat, Polaris, and Yamaha. I rode the 660 for the first time and almost flew off the back of it in 3rd gear. My brother actually did

When I bought my Raptor, the owner of the dealership delivered it to my place and told me "Watch yourself. This thing will yank the front end up in the first 3 gears". I was like, yea WHATEVER. I'm 6' 220 lbs dude, not 5'9" and 170 like you. Well...lemme tell ya. I got on, fired it up and took it out to vacant lot next door, and when I felt the front tires touch back down in 3rd gear, I was like...hoooooly sheet! Haha

It is a beast, no doubt.

haha, gosh golly dern! Yeah I was inclined to get the 450, but I didn't want to go fast all the time, because I do ride some trails so I wanted something with not as stiff of a suspension. Maybe I should buy 450 shocks and retrofit them to my truck :P!
