We have had our 3,000 lb Gorilla winch on our Grizzly all summer long, and it has endured some serious punishment.

"We're not allowed to display them. We're not allowed to sell them," explains sales manager Andy Buddensiek about the absence of youth sized dirt bikes and ATVs on the Hitching Post sales floor.

VMP-ATV Family Trail Park and General Manager, Christopher Edens, donated the 2008 Polaris Ranger to be used in the project, as well as the state of the art light bar and siren system. The Ranger was then outfitted by Polaris Industries and Colonial Cyclesports with an extra battery for power, on-road and off-road tires, and the installation of the light bar and siren system. Dreamz in Motion completed the project by adding the county decals and graphics. Check out www.vmp-atv.com for pics & details!
