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…
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.
 
U guy’s running the factory vented windshield? Woundering if that makes any difference.
I'm running the factory poly window with no vents...Its hot. Two big factors in my opinion, cab is much wider up front and full doors cut the air pretty well. I'm considering adding vents on the fire wall or something to push air out. Or run it naked lol. The leg area is so warm with all that dead air in front seat area of the cab..... I don't think a heater is in my future. Just heated seats.

That should be really good. Would appreciate a ride report. Im impressed with this new chassis out of the box. I am 1 click softer all the way around and thought it was pretty good. But I only have 40 miles on mine.

Mine is hot also. I noticed the radiator coolant lines are almost rubbing against the cab inside the tunnel. Next week I will insulate the tunnel with heat and sound shield. I’ve had to do it on every one of my Polaris’s. Usually works very well.
 
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.
 
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.

Usually I would buy Wolfsnout. They were not available at the time I did mine. Removed console and there is a door to access cooling lines. Wrapped those with insulation I found on Amazon,put adhesive insulation on back of door added more on top of inside console. Worked very nicely.
What kit do you typically buy?
 
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)

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
