2015 Polaris RZR 1000 XP High Lifter, Stealth Black - stickers removed-flames added....always evolving

I have customized my rig to my riding style and preferences, handling, performance, utility and appearance. I am constantly evaluating and modifying it to suit my needs and wants...truly a work in progress.

My $2500 Zurich warranty, with no deductible, has served me very well! I have had $20,000+ of parts and labor work covered with no questions ask at NO cost to me. Wheel bearings (9) replaced; A-arm bushings; 2 A-arms and ball joint, both primary and secondary clutches replaced twice; a new transmission; left rear trailing arms and rotor-hub-brake assembly and axle when axle broke damaging all components .

I ride a lot, mostly in the SW high desert within a 100 mile radius of home, but have traveled as far as WV just to ride (HM) trails. Since 2006 I have owned and ridden 3 different Sportsmans and 2 RZRs, I have logged over 35,000 miles in at least 10 States.
Starting in 1976 I owned, and built, 5 different off-road rigs and wheeled in 28 states, coast to coast. My custom built from the ground up 1947 CJ-2A was featured in JP Magazine in July 2005.

This is awesome. I'm planning to install a winch too but I haven't decided which one should I get. Although I have to replace my stock tires as well.
