This is the stuff, but WARNING, see label for cautions. Dilute in a spray bottle first untill you get your ratio right. DO NOT get it on any shiney-aluminium stuff, it will not shine anymore. It will make a brown radiator look wayyyyy better too. DO NOT get it in a cut on your hands.....................

New Pre-Runner (Polaris) rear bumper installed. I bought this off E-Bay for 49.00.....NIB It was for 08-back. The bed-mounts are the same up to 2010 but the tailgates on 09-10 have a hump in them the older ones did not have. Had to make some 1-1/2 drop brackets to clear the gate.

Looks nice Jimbo. great buy!

That Ranger is looking better everyday. Oh wait.....I saw a speck of dirt under there.

Great buy on that bumper. Very nice!

Don't make me get out in my boxers and find a rag...................

Looks good

Good looking bumper for the price! You need to come up to the Windrock spring jam with us and see how "whitey" does!

Nice,

Couple of things to catch-up on.
Bought a new set of 6-inch Polaris alloys for the rear, now I can rotate my tires!!!!!!
Added a Kobalt aluminium tool-box.
Gonna change the tranny fluid.

A little over 400 miles now. Still very happy with the machine. No hicc-ups, no issues.

I am tho going to change out the rear-1-1/4 spacers for some 2-inchers, in hopes to soften-up the rear a little, the EMP lift stiffened the rear a little more than I would like. The added leverage with the 2's should help....

I won't cut you no more Yank............That little rod-protectors gone.............

Which Kobalt did you get?

I got the one you did..........Got used to the hang-over the bed thing, hated it at first, but it's not so bad.

Did change the tranny fluid.............the drain is easy to remove. I made a tool to get to the check/fill plug that works great...........But trying to re-fill was almost not-doable... I filled it back up through the vent -line fitting. Very easy that way. Just takes a little time. I cut a 8-inch piece of tubing after removing my extended vent-hose, slipped it over the vent inlet and gear-oil nozzle, punched a hole in the bottom of the gear-lube bottle and hung it to the bed with some wire, and let it drain into the tranny. Much easyier than trying to get it through the fill plug!!!!!

Oh found another resource for stock-knockout switches too!!! My order is in!!!!!

Made some stick-stoppers for the rear today..........

Looks good bro...

Nice Jimbo!!!!

I think I see a RZR-S exhaust on that XP????

Those are sweet stick stoppers Jim.

I hate the brake-lines running on the outside, but the banjo-fittings are really non-adjustable. I made some stand-offs to keep them off the guards.

S muffler??? What S muffler????

Yank, I remember him buying a S pipe from badride, and he made it work with the XP, but he lost top end so he took it off.....If I'm correct?
Pate, the stoppers look great bud!!

We got the top-end back..................

I think everyone has bought or made something for thier UTV they just didn't like. I thought after a while I would get used to the hideous Polaris-Extreme bumper, never happened......... I hated it the day I took it out of the box......Not to mention it weighted 70#'s!!!!!!!!!!!! It's gone .

I've' hacked-up the stocker, and got out the MIG........

Been there!!! Sucks don't it bro,
