They pretty much already do this when they do the Apex motor swap. Talk to the guys on the forum that have done the swap. They lengthen the frame 10" to fit the motor. They should be able to tell you exactly what's involved.

 

I have seen those I think, but those are behind the seat. I wanna stretch the frame in front of the seats to get a little more leg room also. I wanna move the seats back 4 inches and move the fuel tank behind the seats so I can lower the seats some and build a lower roll cage.

 

I think that came out wrong. I want to stretch it 12 inches total. 4 inches for more leg room and the other 8 behind the seats for a new fuel cell and the ability to lower the seats down. does that make more sence?

 

Why dont you just by a rzr 4 frame and switch everything over and lengthen what has to be lengthened. You will have plenty of room behind you to move the seat back, gas tank, battery etc.....

 

I did think about that but after buying another rzr and the other parts I want to go on it, the $$$$ might be kinda tight. I have all the tools to do it myself. plus a rzr4 would take up more room on my already shrinking trailer. I don't need the full 26 inches, I just want a little bit more room.....I'm not building this out of my wifes rzr, I'm getting another one for myself, sorry for the confusion.

 

a stretch in the bed would be easier.
in the cab the plastics will be hard to make look good I think.
are you going to move the ECU or lengthen all the wires?

 

I would lengthen all the wiring. I plan to build a new floor pan with this. All the front and rear plastics would be ok because I would leave those areas untouched. I just wann add 12 inches to the passanger area. I would also build some kind of rock sliders or boat hull the sides while I was at it.

 

sounds like you have it figured out.
I would like to see it done.
take lots of pictures and show us the process!

Guys, don't get me wrong. It is going to be a while before I start this. I am leaving for Iraq in feb, and the old lady wants me to wait until I come back on leave before I by another toy. But this will be my first project when I get it. I was just wanting to hear some opinions or if anyone had tried or done this before.

 

With enough know how/time/money anything can be done. Good luck over there by the way. For the record, I don't support the politics but I support the troops and hope as many as possible return safe.

 

Thanks for the support. I really don't worry about the politics that much, after 4 trips over there. I just think about what I'm gonna do with all that cash when I get back. But thanks again

 

Well, I finally got my own(2nd rzr). My wife suprised me with a brand new 2011 trail rzr. Now my only problem is I am having a hard time cutting a brand new rzr in half. Maybe I can swap over the plastics from my wifes rzr to mine and cut the 09 in half. :scared2: That and I only have a few weeks left to go riding with my wife and son before I head over to Iraq again and would rather spend them riding and not welding my rzr back together. This project will still happen, just not right away.

 

I say enjoy what you have now.

Go Ride.

When you get back the new Polaris stuff will be out. Who knows, it might be just what you are looking for?

You just come back safe.

Thank you for your service...

God Bless and Merry Christmas !

 

Any word on the stretch frame? I am 6'4" and am thinking about that as well. Keep us posted!

 

Would like to know if you ever stretched it.
