Show us pixs of the bumper mounted on the XP? How does it mount? Does the bed still raise?
Only have saw one other XP bumper and it mounts to the bottom lip of the bed. That has no strength at all so I don't even call that a bumper.
I am interested in cost, access to oil filter, and with the turbo how much lower is engine rpm and therefore noise level? I think with a turbo and long travel kit I could get ride of the Turbo R and use one machine for everything
As you said you need the non-resident OHV permit in Colorado. More importantly being street legal does nothing as far as allowing you to ride on the streets. Only certain counties and cities in CO allow you to drive on the streets. Our place is in Custer County which does allow driving on the...
I have had offset (1 to 1.5") arms on several machines. I don't recommend them. They change the axle angle and if you don't use the steering stops you can break your axles. If you use the steering stops then it take a football field to turn around.
I just backed out of a parking lot and had the...
I bought a General in '17. Had the full Polaris cab with heater. Hated the side windows because they flipped instead of rolling down like my Ranger. Also wanted AC as it does get hot up at altitude in Colorado. The Northstar Ranger came out but I knew it wouldn't ride as smooth on the rocks as...
Welcome. Search for many posts on the subject.
I installed larger tires, an Aftermarket Assassins cruiser kit as well as sound deadening everywhere. It's tolerable now but never gonna be as good as your truck or car
I have a couple friend that have rzrs and decided to buy some Broncos. They took them to Colorado and said they hated how slow you had to drive compared to their RZRs and the Bronco has IFS
Had a 2 seater General for 7 years. Had the full cab with heater and flip out front windshield. I hated the windows on the doors as they just flipped back- not full opening like my Ranger or Xpedition. Riding in Colorado it gets hot up at high altitude and got hot in the cab. Xpedition gives me...
I got my Pro Armor bead locks in '22 for my Turbo R. Nobody else had the new bolt pattern bead locks at the time.
I run Pro Armor Crawler XG's on my Turbo R and on my previous XP Turbo.
Only complaints are:
1. They run small: My 35's are around 33.75"
2. They suck in mud
They do good on rocks...
I am running the Aftermarket Assassins "cruiser" clutch kit. It quietens it down some. also added larger tires and lots if insulation. Tolerable now. I haven't tried the exhaust yet but would like to see some reviews.
Welcome. We have a place in Westcliffe. Any time we ride at about 10500' or over we get two problems. A gas smell in the cab and a message "o2 sensor out of range". Let us know if you have those issues at altitude. Thanks
I believe the rear is a sealed unit like on the Turbo R. The front is a regular bearing
I use Lucas Red n Tacky and all of my bearings- UTVs trailers, and farm equipment
We usually start out the morning with the cab closed up and the heater on. Then as it warms up some we open the windows to get as closer to the wildlife and nature. Then when it gets hot we close the cab up and turn on the AC. Best of all worlds!
Thanks. Our place is at 8500' and we don't have either issue there. The gas fumes are bad with the windows down so we have to put the windows up and turn on the AC.
What elevations are your running out up there? Are you getting the O2 sensor out of range if you get up around 10,500 to 11000 feet? Also are you getting the gas smell in your cab? Thankls
Thanks. I talked to Polaris today about the gas smell as well as the o2 sensor out of range. They acted like they hadn't heard of either problem. I then called a dealer in Lake City CO as someone had posted that they were having trouble with all of theirs. They said all of them had the o2 sensor...
So you think the radiator lines are heating up the fuel? My coolant lines have been insulated with pipe wrap for months and it still does it. I haven't notice if ambient temperature effects it or not. We are heading back to CO in two or three or weeks and will do some more checking. Thanks
It also got the O2 sensor issue. Not sure how to fix that. Maybe a tune? I think somebody's already tried a different O2 sensor with a different range.
Is somebody said I think the two problems might be related. So I don't think I should modify that valve until I figure out what the problem is
On our last trip to CO I was able to blow and suck on the rollover valve and hear it move. We have been back out twice since then and still getting gas fumes.
Saw a post on a FB group that a dealer in CO is having issues with all of his Xpeditions. It appears that maybe the 02 sensor out of...
Jeeps ride like crap on the trails. Us in SxS's can go twice as fast
My Turbo R is so noisy I wear ear plugs. My previous XP Turbo was way quieter.
Ever rode in a Can-Am Defender? Quiet as my F150. If Can Am can do it so can Polaris
They have been making axles a long time for side by sides. And the axles get good reviews. If I was going to buy a drive shaft it would probably be theirs
Guess I am cheap but I find the stock seats just fine. No issues with a long day of riding in any Polaris SXS that I have had (other than the bench seat in the Ranger)
Mine had the clunk when I would crawl over rocks. Dealership couldn't figure it out. They put a sound recorder on the machine with mic in different locations and found the steering rack was bad. They replaced it in Feb and we have had three rides since then in Colorado and no clunk. It was bad...
I tried to blow in my tank with a compressor and rag wrapped around it. Thought I heard the ball move. Next trip into the mountains we got the gas fumes again. So I got a 3' piece of 5/16" hose and tried sucking and blowing on the hose. The ball moved a little. Took the hose off and squirted...
I had a speed sensor code when I had mine stuck in the mud. That was at about 200' elevation. It's now at our CO place. House is 8500'. We have been up to 13k elevation so far. Any time we are above about 10k we get an O2 out of range message. Machine still runs fine though.
My Turbo R is way louder than my old XP Turbo. I don't like it but am stuck with the noise.
I expected a 45k machine to be way quieter than my 10 yr old Ranger with cab but it wasn't. I spent lots of time and money making it tolerable.
Try driving one with out the larger weights. I doubt you...
I don't know if it's better or not. We've used it for years on the farm. I do carry slime in the side by sides because it comes in the smaller bottles where berryman's comes only in 1 gallon jug as far as I know. I can tell you that the tire shops hate both of them equally. 😁
I carry the Glue Tread kit, a sidewall slug, lots of plugs and two bottles of Slime. Also a Colby valve stem for replacing on the trail. A 12V air compressor of course.
I also carry a piece of rubber that I can put inside the tire if I have a really bad hole.
I have a spare but typically don't...
I have never blew a belt. I always run OEM. My Ranger has 5200 miles and is on the original belt. I remove the cover and blow it out on occasion.
My '16 XP Turbo had about 1500 miles and it started giving me a code. Changed the belt but that wasn't it.. Had a bad spark plug. kept the old belt...
Glad you found a group to ride with. We typically ride alone or with another couple. We have tried to join some of the larger groups but don't care for how they act or ride. I think too much alcohol has something to do with it!
Our stepdaughter and her BF like the mud parks. We tried that once...
The last time I had low fuel I did not get the fumes. Both times I was in Colorado. I was probably 2 to 3,000 ft higher in elevation the second time when I did get the fumes
Thanks. Several guys over on one of the FB groups say "the roll over valve check ball is stuck. You can unhook the vent at the tank and take a air hose and blow the ball back where supposed to be. Has happened to me and if it happens again ill just drill and install a better quality roll over...
Ours did it for the first time on our latest trip to Colorado. Had less than 1/4 tank of fuel. Had to put the windows up and turn the AC on to keep the fumes out. Let us know if you get yours fixed with the charcoal canister
I have bought two clutch kits from them and Michael always promptly answers any question that I have . For that reason alone I would buy the AA turbo kit
Took the Xpedition up a couple rocky trails in Colorado a couple weeks ago. We have been up these trails dozen's of times with the XP Turbo, the Turbo R, the General and now the XP5.
We tied a kayak on top and grabbed our fishing gear and headed out. On the first trail we were getting bounced...
