Fear the Swamp Fox
These Swamp Fox tires from AMS feature a tread with dimpled, reinforced lugs for extra bite and grip in both mud and hard-packed ground. The rugged, 6-ply rubber compound gives these babies increased puncture resistance and durability while the shoulder knobs add bite along the sides. To find out more, talk to your local Parts Unlimited dealer or go to www.amstires.com.

Gone A-Winching
Ramsey Winch makes 3/16" synthetic rope in 50 ft lengths as an alternative to steel cable. Synthetic rope tends to have much less recoil than cable if broken while winching. The kit comes with an oversized 5/16" clevis hook with safety latch and a 3 ft black rock shield to protect the rope during use. If you need more details, call Ramsey at (918) 438-2760 or at their website, www.ramsey.com.
Nerf Toy
Alba Action Sports designed this custom aluminum nerf bar for the Z400 with the heel guards built right in. The result: less cluttered, cleaner look for your quad. But while they were at it, they also added a bit of angle for style. The bars are bolt-on pieces that come ready to install-- no slip-in pipe fittings to line up or holes to drill. You can get the whole story by calling them at (800) 487-3236 or at www.albaaction.com.
It's a Set Up!
The Akira Set Up boot is the brainchild of Italian designer Giuliano Gazzola and it features a 100% synthetic upper for maximum flexibility with an injection molded plastic shin plate. A two-stage plastic protection panel in the toe protects foot digits and an elastic Cordura gator at the top keeps water and small rocks from getting under your skin.

Power Trip
K&N's Powerlid gives late model sport quads a big blast of fresh air by making more of it available than restrictive stock intake snorkels.
