Thanks guys. I bought this machine and it had the graphics and 4” portals....
Well, the machine was really beat up. I was able to do a 10 mile ride and then the madness started. My winter project of tearing this thing down to the frame and making sure it was fixed right
From what I gather after tearing the entire machine down is the aux water pump failed, of course why it was for sale! Anyways the water pump failed which caused an engine temp spike. The temp got so hot it toasted the turbo, pieces of fan went into the intercooler and the top end of the motor was smoked. So I replaced cylinders, pistons, turbo, intercooler and aux water pump.
Next I was having some electrical issues so I pulled the dash... it looked like a can of worms. I pulled every piece of wire including the harness and required the entire machine. Right now I’m running a roof light, A-pillar lights, dome lights, rock lights, whips, warn winch, S&B particle separator and 1000 watt Rockford Fosgate stage 5 stereo. I am currently just waiting on 4 switches to finish the electrical. But it does lol a lot better and now I know it is wired correctly.
Once I finished the wiring I installed a gated shifter.
Then it was time to start on the front end. I put on high clearance +1.5 Super ATV A-arms, thought I only had a wheel clearance and bushing issue. Nope, ball joints were bad too.... once those were fixed, had to rebuild the portals in the front because they also had a bunch of play in them. I got ride of the bump steer in the steering wheel by installing a Sandcraft stabilizer. Shock Therapy limiting straps on the front shocks, Warn Shorty Bumper and some fresh brake pads. I still wasn’t happy with how hard it was to turn the steering wheel, so next week I’m installing an upgraded power steering unit.
The rear of the machine got new ZRP radius rods, Shock Therapy limiting straps, charge tube, intake tube. I had to rebuild the rear portals as well.
Running a Vent cage on 15” Fuel wheels and 35” Berserker tires. The final height I have 27” of ground clearance center mass of The a-arms up front, 26” of ground clearance at the B pillar and rear of the machine.

Ouch!
That's not how anyone wants to learn how their RZR works. Sounds like it's going to run and drive as good as it looks though.
