PostSubject: Reeko's 2012 S LE Build   Reeko's 2012 S LE Build EmptyTue Mar 12, 2013 5:44 pm

So I have been lurking here and there on this board for about 8-9 months now and figured I should finally start a build thread since it is coming along nicely.

Basically in April of 2012 I picked up a slightly used 2012 S LE with 200 miles on it. Brought it home and started playing around with it and trying to get used to how it behaves in comparison to my crawler.

First mods were a PoPo wind screen, roof, PA doors, PA front bumper, and PA harnesses.


Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 538925_10150700001386817_766137322_n

Picked up some PoPo sliders from a buddy but didn't like them so sold them.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 531428_10150763732361817_542132784_n

Added a Tusk overhead bag.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 292212_10150763735201817_1550318935_n

Ordered a Factory UTV Ultimate UHMW 3/8" skid plate, A-arms, gas tank, and rocker package and Super ATV cargo box.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 522277_10150829231851817_1832545992_n

Then a UTVGIANT.com matching center seat with Crowe Harness for my daughter.

Then the brown santa came again to my house and dropped off a bunch more goodies. A Viper 4500lbs winch with rope, some PA door bags, grab handles, etc.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 581049_10150829243381817_142044164_n

Then I fabbed up a low buck stereo set up using a Pyle Marine setup and some roof flashing.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 208979_10150867951786817_1911110220_n

Found a set of KC Slime Lites in my parts bin in the garage and figured I would throw them on to see how they did. Also, decided to notch the PA Bumper to help from cutting my rope in half.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 179507_10150872717901817_1438239543_n

Then I found a spare yellow top in the garage and decided to put it on the RZR to help with the battery drain from the KC Lites and stereo.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 532684_10150872719256817_1276221886_n

Decided to run dual batteries so this is the build stage.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 548631_10150914006231817_284263901_n

Made a control panel for the lights and Amp as well as volume control.

Then the girls got me S-Bars, a back wind screen and Popo mirror for Fathers Day.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 532849_10150882411601817_1404385815_n

Got tired of all the ice melting in the cooler so I started a heat shield with some scrap I had in the garage.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 487823_10150907681216817_1121269622_n

I then took it out to play at Brimstone.

Then had to figure out how to get 2 RZRs on my 16' Jeep trailer since my neighbor bought a RZR.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 378285_10150952346361817_1499869898_n

So I broke out the welder and some more scrap metal.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 396862_10150964421846817_118524773_n





Then I took it out to play.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 401443_10151068865296817_1591640151_n

And got some bent PA doors.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 246412_10151068920551817_1902340988_n

Then Winter came and I decided it was time for more mods.

So I started to tear it back apart.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 396922_10151180698431817_2039358765_n

Ripped out my old junction boxes and switch panel.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 66477_10151180699021817_1593484409_n

And started to make a new one.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 530456_10151180859206817_1227980840_n

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 538577_10151180998341817_2035650207_n

Ended up giving this one to my dad and made a new one.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 734901_10151180998416817_614619088_n

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 66469_10151200049686817_1981751840_n

Now the new one holds 4 switches, volume control, AMP, iPod hook up, CB Base, and fused junction block.
Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 555279_10151200397391817_568467310_n

Got tired of not being able to see so I got some HID lights as well as a 12" LED Totron Light.

Then my Dad traded in his 2012 570 and bought a 2013 SLE .

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 58249_10151200437676817_884881885_n

Then since I had been on my lid twice already I decided it was time to start a new cage. Liked the radius roof design so I ordered the UTVGIANT.com knock down kit.

I then got tired of trying to be gentle with my winch rope so found an extra full size hawse fairlead in the parts bin in the garage and decided to add it to the RZR. I still have the small hawse on the frame as well.

Then I started working on the cage some more.

Reeko's 2012 S LE Build 599031_10151313342646817_919791584_n

I didn't like how the knock down kit landed the rear down bars into the plastic bed and I wasn't building the cage just for looks so I scrapped that part of the kit and made my own.

Forgot I had this build thread going so I'll update it. Haven't done much to the RZR this summer. However, I will finish up this weekend some upgrades.

New Wheel Bearings
New Front lower bushings
New lower ball joints
Patch sliced sidewall in BH tire.
