How much stuff out of the gate needs to be replaced on the 900?

Trailing arms- ?$
Radius rods- ?$

What else, and how much coin are we talking? Lots of guys have 900s now, so I know there should be some good feedback here.

Get with Sniper for the trailing arms and radius rods. He's a Highlifter dealer and sells to club members for cost (+/- $325 and +/- $500). He will also have the stuff drop shipped too. In addition to those items I replaced the plate that they mount to with a receiver hitch from Thunderhawk. It has stronger mounts than the others ($100). If you will be reusing your winch you will need a new mounting plate ($75). Be prepared for some curse words and scraped knuckles when mounting that thing. And as you know the skid plate is different so you will need a new aftermarket UHMW one ($400). If you want to run a tire bigger than 28" you will either have to either do the "fender mod" or get some forward A-arms ($500?). The only other thing I can think of is to get Smoothride to revalve the shocks and get you set up with some aftermarket springs (I think I heard somewhere around$1000).
Oh, if it came with the crappy ITP 900 tires then ditch those bad boys ASAP.

Not sure about the 4s, but I have Top Dog Outfitters tree kickers on mine. The ones made by Tony's Toys look good too. Is Tmanpoker going to be making these?

Nicest ones I've seen were on Dodd's 900 and on Cat's 900.

Really that's pretty much it
Skid
Radius rods
Trailing arms
Tree kickers

Those are the only real needs besides doors. I think bumpers are kind of important also on any machine. Atleast a rear since I use mine almost like a curb feeler. I'll back up till I bump something lol. My winch is on the bumper but I've heard the stock location on the 900 is worse then the 800 as far as getting it mounted up. I like it better on the bumper anyway easier to get I and can see the spool.

Just make sure you can still have a full skid with what ever kickers you go with. IMO the higher up they mount the better. Less chance of them hanging you up. The ones I made for mine are as high up as I could get them. My door has about 1/2" clearance when you open it.. I know Cats on his 2 seater where also pretty high up. I don't think he has started on a set for his XP4 yet.

A lot more money. And bigger. It would be nice for sure, but I can't see me needing anything more than a 900. I honestly hate to see the 800 go. It's been a good buggy and I finally got it "done" (minus the heater).

Dodd, yes. I would appreciate knowing what he would charge.

You won't miss the 800 when you slide into the driver's seat of the 900. The only problem is that your right foot gets a lot heavier.
