Lots of top-shelf upgrades, especially the Flex-Armor roof! GLWTS.

You can call it bullshit all you want if I have bruised your Toyopet pride, but everything I typed is 100% factual. I have owned dozens upon dozens of vehicles for both business and personal use, and that 4-Skin was one of the worst, hands down. I don't drink anyone's Kool Aid. Junk is junk.

Issues? Suspension creaking issue from day one that turned out to be shock mounts, after wasting numerous trips to the dealer I found/fixed it myself. A/C Failure and recall requiring dash removal that they botched. A horrendous brake bias design issue that made it a very real danger to drive...

We'll see what the rest of the package brings.

I have experienced the mythical "very calculated" Jap quality numerous times. 1982 XT250 with a sour engine right out of the crate. They stalled long enough to eat up the warranty. 1996 V-Max 500XT with facked up suspension geometry that they knew was NFG, but released it anyway. Worth...

This was posted by a former colleague of Brad Darling at Arctic Cat: I worked for Brad Darling at Arctic Cat and at Argo and he is simply one of the Best bosses you will ever have. He will succeed because people respect him tremendously and will give him 100% of their efforts and he will share...

There was plenty of dead wood in TRF and St Cloud, but if you would meet Brad Darling in person you would have a different opinion.

To my recollection, Brad was never CEO at Arctic Cat. I think a VP position was as high as he rose. Chris Twomey was the CEO for @20 years, then things went off the rails with dickhead Claude Jordan, followed by slimy Chris Metz.
