Just thought I would let you other Argo owners know about a problem I had with my Bigfoot this weekend. It only affects the new steering system.

When I went to set the parking brake there was a pop and no tension in the brake lever. I looked down to see that the piece that holds the brake cable were it attached to the hand lever had snapped off across the threaded hole.

I called my dealer and he is shipping me one to replace it with, just thought I would let you all know about the possible weak point.

I will try to post pictures tomorrow.
