My RZR XP Thread

Looks great, I was kicking around the same setup. Think I'm going to wait till I wear out the stock bighorns though.

Looks great Ronnie.

Nice looking wheels buddy....

Great looking tires... speaking of moonshine.. Ronnie how was the moonshine I left with you guys at the ride lol

The jars were empty by the end of the night.....

That does look good. Going on the Trex

I'm looking forward to hearing how you like 10" on all fours as far as traction. I was up in the air on 10s or 11s. My thinking was with 11s in 4wd you have the same amount of rubber on the ground as 9" and 12" combo. With 10s you loose a little. Lot of people say it doesn't matter but they say that about 9" on all four also. I tried that and hated it. Much less traction. I hit my trails with stock went back to the house and swapped the rears out for 9s and could easily tell I had less traction.

looks good, looking forward to your review on that wheel / tire combo

Same setup I went with too. Ill prob try them out next weekend. Sniper really likes his and said the 10's on all 4 corners make no difference. They do rub a bit in front tho.

One more thing came in the mail today. I am getting close guys. I hope I have this thing back together before the ride...

Supper Dave bushing and ball joints.

After seeing the size of the tire I figured they would rub.

I might have this thing ready before the ride....... This is a little sneak preview.

SWEEEEET!

My God.....that is BADASS!!

Man I hope I get this put back together in time.....

Agh, just a few bolts. Grab a beer or three and git after it!!!

Man.....what a tease you are......get it together!

I am almost back together. I am not going to make it down to Trails End tomorrow night but I will be there Friday the morning.

One BIG set back were the tires. They were to big. So I had to change the front A arms. Moreover, they had to be sandblasted and power coated (back woods armor high clearance forward +2). That was an accomplishment in it's self.

Some pics of the progress:







Another problem was found while working on my machine this week. Top A arm mount was stretched out. Yes Marty did last year when he hit a tree. However, the boy has the skills to fix it. That is why I don't have a problem with him driving it.

Sorry Pate I posted in the wrong place. So I move your post too....

Looks good Ronnie!!! That John at BW makes some killer stuff!!! Washer welded on that egged-mount. No problem for the Cat...

Lol man you guys suck. I was just talking about this the other day. Get a new machine build a custom cage, bumpers, stereo , light bar, trailing arms blah blah. Think you have a stand out rig. Line up with this group and all you have is another machine lol. Your machine really is looking good. I was planning on getting those same a arms down the road. One of the reasons I haven't bothered with guards for the stock arms. I'm curious if you notice any difference in your turning radius. Thats one thing I was worried about with the 2" forward ones. The station wagon doesn't need any help with that.

I'll know after this weekend. However, they did say it makes your turning radius better.

Would make it worse not better. Longer wheel base equals wider turning. I was being a smart ass when I said the station wagon doesn't need any help with that.. As in it already takes enough space to turn that sucker around I don't want to add to it if I can help it.. I don't think 2 inches longer would effect it much, just wondering if you will notice a difference.
