Yes. I have one and use it anywhere from deep mud to dirt trails with very pleasing results.

I have 2 and i love them both. They go pretty good and when they do get stuck they are easier to pick up and move, as long as they are not stuck bad.

In pure mud Bugs are great on a smaller displacement machine , Mud and vegetation Mudlights have the edge . Just my unbiased opinoin .

I have the Rancher also. I love that quad. I just got a Rubicon 500 in December and the Rancher is only a few mph slower than 500. To be honest with you I think the Rancher goes just a far in the Mud as the Rubicon goes with 26" Mud tires. Also dont need a winch on the 350 but you will on the 500.

Well, if you don't have the money for a pipe and stuff like that then get the lights. They will be easier to turn in the mud and better for the bike. People at highlifter say that the rancher 350 sucks in the mud. They say it bogs and it has no locker. But they ride in insane mud.

I've got a Rancher and it rocks! I got 26" vampires and I wouldn't get anything else. I've been thinkin about getting the 375 big bore kit so I can shoot major roosts when in 2wd. I would highly suggest  getting the clutch kit from Highlifter, $55.  That's the best add-on after tires.  Just my opinion.
