New Toy... RZR

[jigolbeep]

I've been looking into buying a house and my rock buggy that I have been building for 5 years had to go... I sold most of the parts so I decided it was time for a new toy..

I found a 2008 RZR, its got ITP wheels/ ITP Terracross tires, front/rear bumpers and top. I threw some 4 point harnesses in it already and have a set of suspension seats left from my buggy that im going to try to put in it... I just ordered a UMP filter setup to do away with the crappy stock filter box. HID lights, Optima battery and exhaust are in the works for next month... Long travel and a few other thing are in the plans in the near future too...

I ordered some HID lights for my rzr and need to update my battery...I went and got an Yellow top Optima and built a battery box... I just finished my hold down and put it in tonight... I also just orderd a Houser +4 long travel kit with elka shocks which should be here this week...

That's good that you put in an optima as they are designed for massive shaking around I believe.

[jigolbeep]

yep they will take a beating and non spillable too... plus i was going to need more power for adding HIDs and a light bar probably later... should be installing my HIDs some time this weekend..

Optima batteries are not as good as you think. I use to work for them, you would not believe how many fail. But they are good about replacing at no charge. That was the nastiest job I have ever had.

Nice toy, can't wait to see the suspension work.

[jigolbeep]

well im going to try it and see how it holds up...

Finally had time to install my HID lights today... I got the kit off ebay from Burke moto pros..

Easy plug and go install, it only took about 30 min to install... You can tell the difference even during the day in my shop with the lights on...

Those are some gnarly looking seat belt bulckles haha. As long as you're safe it doesn't matter I guess

They are just normal 3 inch harnesses used in drag racing, offroad racing ect... They are a lot better than the stock slim seatbelts they have in them...

Long travel should be here tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything is usually better than stock

Well I got started installin my long travel on my rzr this weekend... I got the front all put together minus the brake lines which the wrong ones were sent in my order... the back is apart right now and im wainting on some new cv boot clamps for the back cv's. here are some pics...

The kit, Houser +4 Long travel with front elka shocks... Still debating on rear shocks....

Front installed

Width before...

Width after...

Rear as it sets... Waiting for parts...

Lots of help from the new shop dog....

[wylde1]

thats awesome, I was thinking about one so I could take the wife out with me. nice selection of mods

[jigolbeep]

thanks... they are a lot of fun and since the new XP 900s came out they are getting more affordable... I was going to go +6 per side but with +4 i can have long travel but still run trails at the dunes and back home...

[quadnut20]

Your Razr is go to be sick !!! :yes:Have you done anything to the motor?

[jigolbeep]

nothing on the motor yet... Probably do an exhaust and a clutch and go from there... I dont know if i want to build a motor or go forced induction... MCX express makes an awesome turbo kit that makes these things wild but i dont know if i want to spend that much money...

[Tagels]

That suspension must have cost you arm and leg..

[jigolbeep]

it wasnt too bad.... it will be worth it...

[Tagels]

I bet, got any more pictures of it all done?

[jigolbeep]

its not all back together yet... I have a long hot couple of weeks at work and just havnt finished it up yet... My front brake lines are backordered so hopefully they will show up this week...

Were they running paddles? my buddy put paddles on his rzr last time we went to Waynoka and he can make it up everything...

Yes only on the back :yes:Comp hill at Killpecker is about 400` straight up

Haven`t been to Lil sahara in OK but how big are the dunes?

I think the biggest are 100ft or so... There are a lot of trails with big nasty rutted out hillclimbs in them...

[jigolbeep]

I finally got my lines from houser and everthing is back together... Im running stock shock on the back for now. I still havn't decided on what to run yet, thinking dual rate elka's with rebound. I was told by a few guys with rzr's not to run swaybars on them but it felt like it made the suspension roll to much and made it steer slow so i think im going to hook them up.
