Don't use that winch with that front bumper. You will bend and crack the bumper and braces. And it will not be warrantied with a 4000 lb winch.
I'm not trying to be a ass but that's what happened to me. You can't get worst service anywhere.

Thanks for the heads up and I did see in the directions that they clearly state not to use larger than a 3500lb winch so if I bend it I will not look for warranty on it since I am using it beyond what EMP says. I wouldn't expect them to. I, like you am not trying to be an ass, just stating that I wouldn't expect them to warranty an item that I am not following the directions on.

Very good point.

My buddys bent with only a 2500lb Warn on it.......

That bumper is a real piece of shit . I took mine off, it keep coming loose with out even using it. If I did use it , it would bend and crack. Look at my avatar that's me making one of there bumpers. we must have the same workshop

I might get out to my Rzr this evening and do some work....still got a long way to go!! I do have the engine, wiring, Radiator assy and coolant lines ran...but heres where I was a few weeks ago, along with the bumper I made.

Lookin good, Craig !!

I had to repair the frame in few places from having my ride height set too low. Went ahead and repainted the whole frame, put nut-serts in the skid plate holes instead of the stock "self tapper" holes.

A helpful hint. If anyone has the skidplate off their Rzr, go ahead and replace all the stock bolts with a good quality bolt. I cant remember the size now that Im trying to! The factory bolts rust and are weak, and will twist off when trying to remove them. A good quality bolt will prevent this.

The Rzr is getting all new bushings, front bearings and hubs, brakes all the way around, a new u-joint in the driveshaft, new shifter cable, resealed the transmission case, new spark plugs, re-doing my sound system, oh man I got alot of work to do!

Good news is the transmission is already done, frame is painted and repaired, and my parts are in a box waiting on me.

I have the warn on mine like it so far i tied the RZR off to a tree pulled a dune buggy up hill about 10 feet nothing broke or bent so i would say it is pretty tuff

Craig, why is yours all apart? I don't think I've read what happened for it to come to this.

Frame repairs, painting the frame, nothing else to do!!

How come every person on here has a bigger workshop than I do?

I used to do this with my old race quads at least twice a year. No better way to maintain something than to take it down to nothing and reassemble.

I was wondering that too. Just wait and see. I'll have one bigger. You'll see.

Thats what she said

The framing was delivered today

Got mine wired up, cranked it over! Today im gonna weld on a 02 sensor bung for A/F readings when I take it the dyno once its back together.

Got all my parts in, installed a new u-joint in the front driveshaft, new decals on my shocks, wrote a couple new timing maps for the Dynatek.

Got the tires on the beadlocks. Gah it takes forever to get all those dam bolts in!! Owell here is a pic, im mounting them on the short bus 2moro, duty calls and im waiting on some new parts to get in 2morow

Finally washed it after 3 weeks of being covered in mud.

going to take mine to the dealer tommorrow for its first service after just 25 hours.

Washed it up and put on some new fender flares. Big thanks to Tim Moore for the fender repair!

Put new bushings in the a arms last night, picked rocks out of the radiator, didnt really make alot of progress with it.

Gave her a full Blood transfusion, changed out the brake pressure switch, and bled the brakes. Tomorrow I'll swap out a hid ballast with the truck until I get a new one in from ddm. She'll also get a bath and a good lubing up too.

Well finally made some good progress yesterday, got the front end assembled....




Then I got the engine wired up, exhaust welded and installed, and fired it up for a few seconds!!
