    New Xpedition ADV owners

    The problem is twofold. Every Xpedition I’ve seen has come from the factory sitting lower than polaris’ own specs. And second, pretty much all OEM Polaris springs sag with use. You can adjust the preload on the springs to gain the proper ride height, but as DogRunner said, you can adjust it for...

    Build Almost Complete

    Fantastic build! Looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun! Those E-Cliks are a game changer. I’m curious what the tank under the rack is for.

    Sandcraft steering rack stabilizer

    Not sure on the geometry. I do know HCR and JRI are both much closer to the tie rod, and even a little angle change could interfere. That said, I haven’t heard anyone having issues with tie rods or steering racks, aside from factory defective ones. Even my Xpedition, with OEM a-arms, but...

    Sandcraft steering rack stabilizer

    It’s more that the stabilizer will change the geometry of the tie rods, and on the mid/long travel suspension, it may interfere with the a-arms.

    How can I gain about 10-15 extra horsepower?

    If you haven’t done an ECU tune and clutch kit, then your machine is on the Polaris “Comfort“ clutch fix. That dumbed down the hp compared to the first release machines in ‘23. Doing a clutch kit and ECU tune is the easiest way to get get more power out of these machines. AA 2024+ Xpedition...

    Xpedition XP5 insulation job.

    Sounds awesome! And you’re definitely welcome. It’s a lot of work, but the results are amazing. Just a couple notes. You can pull the skidplates without removing the side rocker piece. Just bow the plate down in the middle, and do the same putting it back in. On the battery area, I pack it...

    Adjustable seating for driver and passenger?

    I 100% agree the market has exploded, especially over the past few years. But when it comes to SxSs, the quality is relatively the same as it’s been for ages. What’s happened is the prices have increased exponentially without a comparable increase in manufacturing quality, with a few exceptions...

    Adjustable seating for driver and passenger?

    The competition is coming for Polaris. Crazy as it sounds, the CF Moto U10 Highlander Pro already outclasses its Polaris counterpart, the Ranger XP1000 Northstar. And that at a little over half the price. CR Moto also has an Xpedition competitor in the works with trailing arm suspension...
