Pictures please !
We all Love pictures of RZR’s .
In the interest of helping others , what year of General did you have and for how long before getting the ‘24 XP ?

 

Here she is after being rinsed off. I have to say that cleanup after desert riding is way easier than east coast riding.

I had a 2018 General 4. Got it in March of 2018 and sold it two weeks ago right before we moved.

My next upgrades will be to put my Click 6's in and maybe a lightbar. And get my bead locks on. I sold a bunch of stuff like my jack and air compressor before we moved, so I need to acquire new ones so I can do some of these things myself. I picked up my spare from a rental place who had some old used tires, but had to take it to a tire shop to seat my bead.

Let me know when you are ready for some PRPs! Glad you are liking the new machine. Agree with DaGoat, pics!

I already have some XC's. I am hoping whatever base PRP comes up with will work with them. Otherwise I will be selling them and giving you a call.

Just put 33-10-15 tusk terrabites on mine&

Nice. I will be going to at least 32's. I don't figure the stock tires will last too long with 10+ miles of pavement every ride. I already have a set of 14" Tusk beadlocks, so I will be sticking with 14's for the time being.

I have had it almost 2 weeks now and have taken it on 2 rides and played around out in the desert by myself.

My first thought is this is a great machine. It's stable and predicable, has plenty of power and the factory ride setup is surprisingly good. The seats are comfortable, but the wife wants her PRP's back.

My thoughts:

1) The RF Stage 3 is decent, but I will be upgrading to at least Stage 4. It just needs a little more umph.

2) I love the Pulse Bar, but for all the thought Polaris seemed to put in this machine, it is extremely difficult to access. Don't even try with a windshield on.

3) If you are installing the spare tire carrier, the instructions say to start at 4.9"". Start closer to 5.5" Also, there is a good chance the instruction in the box will only have measurements in mm, so download the newest version off website unless you happen to have a metric ruler. Or like converting.

4) The winch was surprising easy to install. Well at least the winch itself. Hooking it up to the Pulse Bar took as long as mounting it on the vehicle.

5) From the files of why does Polaris hate its customers, the new XP uses a completely new switch. So if you are like me and want all your switches to match, get ready to do some work. The traditional rockers from OTRATT or Rockerswitchpros won't fit the new Carling switches. So your options will be to rewire all your switches and just accept your switches will not match. Since the latter is unacceptable to me, I will be rewiring them.

6) The new "lower" Low, is very low. Too low in my opinion, so I will be moving to 32's soon and hopefully that will help a little.

So far I am very pleased with the machine. And in bigger news, so is the wife. She even drove it for about an hour on the last ride and said it drove way better than my old General.

So if anyone has any specific questions, ask them and I, or someone else, will try to answer them.

Pulse bar is movable, i use a step stool for access. 32’s make it a completely different machine, springs were different almost a 1/4” from factory, or they turned while riding. The huge drain holes I plugged with plastic padding i kept form headlight’s I ordered for a pickup. I could also feel heat coming from shifter hole and drain holes, so pulled center counsel, noticed the huge hole in rear fire wall was open, so cut a old license plate an bolted it in there. No more heat from shifter or drain holes, can still feel it from under the seats tho. My cousin bought a 4 door and he doesn’t have the heat noticeable in the front seats tho.

6) The new "lower" Low, is very low. Too low in my opinion, so I will be moving to 32's soon and hopefully that will help a little.

Edit: 7) Those nice new drain holes in the floor are great for losing bolts into. But banging on the bottom of the skid plate can make them fall out one of those drain holes.

I have a 4-door and we felt the heat from the pavement coming up through the door seals.

But it was a 95 degree day in AZ. So to be expected.

I did pull the glass windshield and put on the half windshield and it was much cooler. Will save the glass one for winter.

 

The cooler half windshield is here

UTV Half Windshield for Polaris RZR PRO XP / XP 4

Enhance your off-road adventure with the half windshield for Polaris RZR. This high-quality accessory provides optimal protection against wind and debris.

Yes I only run full glass in the winter or early spring, mounted my side mirrors so i can pull the 1/4 window up 3” if needed

 

Also made a top visor, to deflect rain, sun, an whatever else.

 

Which side mirrors are you running? I see Polaris offers some but wasn’t sure if another company made some that fit the new cage. I just took delivery of a 2024 and am about to yank the full windshield off as well. It’s freaking hot this time of year.

 

I have the polaris ones, they lock in and out for tight spots an trailering. Glass tilts inside casing so trees or whatever don’t move the glass. Also open infront of clamps so don’t effect the window seals. Think they were $205

 

I have the factory ones. They aren't bad, but wish they were a bit bigger.

 

Though I would chime in. I have a 24 xp 4 now. No ride command.

First ride impressions are really good compared to the old. The stock 30s I thought worked well but probably won’t last long like others have mentioned. I thought the suspension was pretty good also. Front didn’t feel like it wanted to dive into holes. Stable and good in the rocks. Seems to run hot? I’m considering fan override switch for in the rocks and low gear. I do feel the machine is much smoother on the pedal.

My only beef with it is the cab gets smoking hot with a window. Wife and I were running around the hills 75-80 degrees with the doors open….and going faster really didn’t help. Least No need for a heater in the winter for this one. For what it’s worth out of the “box” this is probably the most complete machine on the market in my opinion.

We noticed some heat also, but I think most of it was coming up from the pavement/trail. But it was 95 degrees out.


Got an email from Shock Therapy that they have the RIS for the new XP. Will be making my appointment today.

 

Wer talking about the 2024 polaris xp 1000. Not the pro, theres a huge difference

 

Ya myne ran a little warm at first. Smelling like antifreeze, then noticed a puddle in the garage. So i had2 cut 1/2” off radiator hose and put new clamp on. After scratching my head for 5 mins trying to find the hood screws

 

U guy’s running the factory vented windshield? Woundering if that makes any difference.

 

No Dirt Warrior makes a really nice one with great airflow and viewing area.

 

 

Next week rear glass should be available. They are using my car right now to measure.

 

Nice to actually see a picture of there glass. There website has it listed but no pictures, no way i would buy it for that price an Notta pic

 

They’re powder coating the rear now and I will send photos of front with vents open and rear glass next week.

 

Ya thought the same thing about the heat. Dead air down below. My 1/4 window and upper visor help with the heat up high. Plus i blocked off the huge hole on the back of the center console which helped alot, but on my 2 seater i feel the heat coming from under the seats. And the huge drain holes( before I plugged them)

Would definitely be nice to have a closeable vent below like the old jeeps which had a vent up on the hood.

 

Bottom of center console is closed off, with a trap door for carrier bearing, propshaft, grease zert access

 

A Milwaukee fan I see.

Looking at your machine, I will not miss the east coast mud. Not one bit.

 

Ya can’t go wrong with red tools. Ha ya all that slit is from driving through a pond on the reservation. Sand might wash off easily, but it gets in everywhere and wears it out fast. From my experience, with bearings an seals

 

I bought the new 2024 rzr xp4 1000 ultimate a couple weeks ago and really love it. I have a super atv front vented windshield and it helps some but will put deflectors on to gain more air in the cab. I put 32” tires on mine right away and have not had the chance to get out with them since I got them. I am waiting on more aftermarket tire carriers to come out for more of a selection. Was able to get some rock sliders from B&M fabrications and looking forward to them coming in. Bought a superatv black ops winch because I am not paying for a Polaris brand. Downfall is have to wait for a mount for it. Aftermarket parts are starting to trickle slowly but for me it is worth waiting so I don’t spend money twice.

 

What offset are you running for the wheels?

 

Here are my first impressions on my 2024 premium, keep in mind our riding around here is more technical , winding, narrow hilly, mud holes,,,
Cleaning in some areas is easier while harder in others…

There certainly were some pretty cool improvements:

-Reverse gear
-lower gearing
-Really like the removable tub for access
-adjustable driver seat
-dash storage
-air intake up high with frog skin on bedside
-improved timing tensioner (from what I understand we‘ll see…)
-easier access for rad cleaning
-shocks not collapsed tenders, a little more adjustment (haven’t played with these too much yet )

Could be improved/addressed:

-overheating (no bleed screw)
I contacted Polaris for their burp procedure had to add fluid.
Burping it seems is not part of PDI
-cab gets warm
-painted plastics scuff way to easy (wrap sooner than later)
-not sold on front sway bar
-clutch cooling exhaust way too low

OEM aftermarket accessories I ordered at time of purchase:

-Front and Rear bumpers -Descent
-Front winch - Pricey but good
-Tonneau Cover - Well worth it
-Door bags - Always worth it for padding alone..
-Rock Sliders - Descent enough
-Trailing arm guards - Kinda thin but a must as the mounting holes are pre drilled In the trailing arms. There’s no upside to water in your trailing arms…
-1/2 Windshield - Less obstructive (lower but still enough to deflect the wind)

 

I was debating the Tonneau Cover. If it actually locked, I'd already have it.

 

Tonneau cover is very cheaply made as are most of the OEM accessories for this car. Try and find one installed on a car at your dealer first. I would of rather bought the cooler and storage insert.

 

Has a lot of room, Last ride was really dusty a little got in not enough to worry about & nothing a little more weather stripping can’t fix,,,
Trails we were on were far from smooth it stayed shut the whole time ,,,
Install is a breeze, take tub out and clamp the cover in place, drill holes, put nuts and bolts.
I used the clamps in the second picture to hold the hinge side in place to use as a template while drilling the holes in tub..,

 

I have the Tonneau Cover as well on mine. I do like it but was a little underwhelmed by it not sealing tight like a regular Polaris lock n ride style box. Where the lid meets the hinged bolted part it has a slight opening on each side that allows water in when washing the rig and maybe even heavy rain, but i have not been in the rain with it yet. It's not that big of a deal since it also has a drain at the very back to let the water then drain. But that drain opening also allows dust to enter from the back. It does serve its purpose but i would have been happier with a tight seal like the lock n rides.
just my 2cents

 

Agreed, hard to beat a decent sized cooler, always need fluids
