So last fall I rolled my nearly new Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS down the mountain and totalled it.

No the problem with the other one was side hilling on too steep a section, poor planning on the rider's part!!

Thumb assist, gun rack, front cargo hold of some type and a rear drop basket that I can attach a dog rack to so I can rig bears off of it with the dogs.

Sad part is I had the three day ATV combat course when I was in the Military!  :)

I think it's the biggest, but the Grizzly is geared differently and is a bit taller.  This one with Tax, titling and a 2500 pound winch installed was $9998.33.

Did you buy in Idaho? Mine is the grizz. IMO the winch is a must!

I wanna hear about last year's roll. You a very lucky man with no roll bars on those. Were you thinking about a beer or something else when it rolled? You obviously did not have a lot of time to react and get out of the way of that beast.
