Nothing like starting over again....

Did my graphic kit and seats today and ordered my cage from Nick at UTV INC.

 

[Outdrive1]

Looks good already.

what tires do you have on there?

 

[270]

what tires do you have on there?

ITP 900XCT 27X9-12 front and 27X11-12 rear.

It's what they come with from the factory.

 

[KENDOG689]

Ditch the stock tires they are junk.

Probably do that down the road.

 

[270]

Had to go with a different center cap.

Not my car but this is the cage I'm going with. Also decided to go without bumpers, all the rears I've seen are ugly and from what I'm told the fronts dig.

That cage with the radius is pretty cool looking. What color are you thinking, and are you doing a metal roof?

Red with the flat black roof. They're five weeks out so I guess things are good in the UTV business.

No shit. 5 weeks is a pretty long back order. They're probably busy, and there aren't as many guys left in the business.

gonna save you some money, those other guys are overpriced beyond belief!!! give dg offroad a call, same radius cage with roof and everything powdercoated for way cheaper than utv inc quoted me. you will not be dissapointed.

Quoted price and price I'll pay are two different things....

Been doing business with Nick for years and he has always been very good to me. I try my best to be loyal even if it cost me a few bucks more once in a while.

BTW nice ride! What size Bighorn's are those?

LOL i hear ya on the quoted price i know they come down off the asking. thanks man got alot into it already, just put on the makin trax springs and is a night and day difference in the ride with using stock shocks. those are not bighorns they are the knock off bighorn tires called duro powergrips. they are 26" and look better imho than bighorns and the best price is a set shipped to my door are around $350 !!! rocky mountain atv carries them and they are awesome. your ride is looking good man, another money pit LOL

I hear you on the money pit... :grumble:

I think I'm going to get those tires once mine get a little worn, they seem like a great value and I like the looks. I also did a little research on the springs you have and think I'll pick up a set of those too, should be done after that.....lol

they really are and 6ply just like big horns. LOL you always think you will be done, i'm well over 20k in mine and just put on my lightbar. the springs though are one of the best 400 bucks i have spend for what you get our of them. you can run a way lower compression and it smoothes the ride so much, my wife said she can drink a cup of coffee going down a rutted road LOL. Handles the whoops wayyyy better as well.

 

[270]

Still waiting for cage and thought I was done for now but I guess not. Picked up a rear diff plate, steering wheel and ordered some springs yesterday, that should be it.....

LOL famous last words. you got the makin trax springs? think i got mine dialed in finally for where i like the compression. run zero preload with them, your ride height will be atleast a full inch higher over the stock with zero pre load, they are awesome.

 

[270]

LOL you got the makin trax springs?

Yep got them coming, I think it'll be a nice upgrade for the money...:thumbsup

I may have to hit you up if I have any questions when I install them.

Just got this in today also.

 

[KENDOG689]

Nice build so far.:thumbsup

i was going to get those seals to, but my airbox has been tight just using grease and making sure it seats properly. Its like a toss up if you get one that has a gapped air box. Awesome man definitely hit me up if you need, been playing with them to get them dialed, going out saturday afternoon to barstow to run it and fine tune some more over bigger whoops.:skull

 

[BUDMAN]

looking real good. cant wait to see it finished.

 

[WTMFA]

Nice ride Mark:thumbsup
Those UTV inc doors are by far the best on the market. You'd be hard pressed to find something better than the xp for the money. Looks like I might have to turbo my 09 Rzr just to keep up with everybody:grumble:

Thanks bro. All it took was a short ride in Steve's and I was sold.
My cage and a few other parts should be in next week and I can finish it up.


dschifan

Thanks for the heads up on those Duro tires. The difference in the ride on pavement is 100% better than the ITP tires it came with and I know they will kick ass in the dirt. They look great and I still can't get over the "shipped to my door" price.....:thumbsup

How light are those tires?

Have you tried them in the sand?

I have had really good luck with my maxxis cerros but there spend/heavy and suck in the sand.

i am not totally sure on how light they are, i don't run to much sand and when i do i'm running 14psi and they do very well. i know guys that run the bighorns in glamis aired down and they do well and this tread is exactly like the bighorn.

 

[270]

I have a 12" Vision X I was going to put on my Teryx that I may end up using.

How light are those tires?

Nick at UTV INC said the Duro's are lighter than the Bighorn's. He said he had a couple of friends running them and they are very happy with the performance.

Really sharp and clean. At the same time I think it will not show every scratch when you get it on the trails. Congrats.

I'm sure if you really wanted one you would have one...

The Teryx was bad ass, just time for a change.

I hope the XP is as good to me as that thing was.

Since I was unable to attend Desert Storm this year I bought myself a billet T-handle and shift knob today. Thought it would cheer me up, it didn't......:grumble:
