More bars.

 

Bumpers and nerf. Lower horizontal tube on bumper is just tacked to keep it mocked up. I'll run a skid under the front diff and wrap it up onto the front bumper, tucking it in closer to the body. Upper bumper mounts tie back to the frame behind the headlights. I'll also add an upper bar to protect the radiator.

 

On to the door bars and body panels. The upright door bars clamp into the stock RZR cage. Used some cheap hardboard to mock it all up. Also, did a quick mock up of the lights and mounts. Keep the light bars inside the cage for protection. All panels are .100 aluminum.

 

Damn impressive!

 

Thanks!

 

That wraps up the cage. Tore it down and sent off to Winning Industries for powdercoating. Color is Lollipop Tangelo and matches the orange anodized lights. Also took care of the wiring while the cage was out.







Added a battery killswitch in the bed and ran the wires through conduit for protection.





Added a 30amp breaker and ran power to an underhood fuse/relay box.





Metripack plugs for light bars and domelight.



Also installed the headlights and connected up to stock headlight wiring. Uses the OEM switch and high/low just the same as stock. Halos get power from the key on terminal at the stock power block under the hood.

 

Is the bed the most common place to mount the kill switch? id like to hit some local races but haven't I don't know where they want them mounted. Rules just say a easy accessible place.

 

Also received the first few sponsor items of the year.
OMF wheels and GBC tires. Choose the HPO wheels to skinny up the machine a bit. Mongrels were an easy choice for the tires.
Cage also came back from powder. Reassemble went rather easy.
Got it all bolted up, belts are in. Lights, mirror, and extinguisher mounted.





Called up Spider Graphix and Austin put together something awesome!

Nice build but i have got to ask why did you skinny it up?

 

Yet to be done.

Install graphics.
Fox is building the shocks as we speak.
Mount cameras.
Off to Barkers Exhaust so they can build their new 900 system!

 

Looks awesome. Show us more when you get it finished.

 

badass

 

Sweet Build...:clap: :clap: :clap:

 

Very nice!

 

Subd, awesome work !

 

Looking great..

 

Wicked awesome guy.

 

Wow that is some sweet work... You obviously have some prior experience at this kind of work. You my man are truly talented and I'd love to be able to watch some of this first hand. Keep the post coming.. I love the rock sliders. And, for the money most people are getting out there it gives me ideas of my own. Thanks for sharing...

 

Thanks for all the kind words. It is really coming together great. Graphics go on this weekend.

I skinnied it up a bit for XC racing. A few inches smaller than the other machines makes a big difference. I'm at just a but over 58" now. Should be good!

 

I had originally thought that you were racing a track like the off road trucks run but after your comment about skinny making a big difference i am thinking that you must be racing in and out of the trees or other tight objects ? Do you have any videos of your races on you tube?

Your build looks very nice.

 

What offset rims are you running? Stock a-arms?

 

The rims are OMF HPO (high positive offset) and I'm keeping it on stock a arms for now.

 

looks great

 

What are you using for a bender

 

Probender and Baileigh notcher.

 

ThAt looks like some nice equipment

 

Buy once and cry once.
The bender is actually pretty reasonable. I think it was $599 with a die, then you add you own harbor freight cylinder.
The notcher wasn't cheap, but cheap notchers are a waste of time and tubing.

 

Had some people ask about the light and extinguisher mounts. Here's a few pics with the roof off. Also some pics of the upper bumper mounts and the first of the graphics going on.

 

You need to bring that beauty to ala in march and get out of the snow and break in in at rally raid

 

For sure. The thing needs to get driven eventually.

 

looks awesome bro! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

 

Graphics done!
