    Shifter Lever Boot upgrade

    Bought boot on Amazon, unscrewed the small screws holding the plastic knob on the shaft and slid the boot over the shaft and double back taped the boot on the existing base and all works great, no air flow at all. I think I posted a pic of this on a prior message. Amazon product: Qiilu...

    Heat Shield/Noise Dampener

    I did the same and more and it cut my noise down about 30%, so at least I can here the radio and talk to my wife. I put 3/4" padding on the backfloor and firewall insulation as well. I posted pictures previously in my thread. Was a lot of work but glad I did it. Bought all the...

    Front bumper led lighting

    I did a similar installation but my single row light bar is operated by a remote switch so I can turn on both inside and outside of the cabin. After talking to my friend who drives off road racers he said to get the yellow lens lights which work best in the AZ dust, which I also added and they...

    LED Light Bar Options

    I haven't run it much at all at night, plus I use the yellow lights mostly. However, I originally had it mounted on the bar using black hose clamps, but when I bought the yellow lights I moved it to where it is now.

    LED Light Bar Options

    What I did was a combination of a small light bar with remote capability mounted in the push bar and the yellow 5" power lights. The small light bar is very bright and the round lights are REALLY bright. Works out very nicely as I can turn on the light bar outside of the vehicle at the camp...

    Wiring Accessories to the Pulse Bar

    Just finished adding signal lights to the PulseBar. Ran them up under the interior headliner which is much easer than under the buggy. Bought on Amazon for $69 for horn and turn signal kit. Yes it took some time, but came out great. Couldn't justify paying hundreds more for something not...

    New Owner 2024 Xpedition ADV NorthStar

    I was able to reduce the noise level to a "livable level" by insulating all areas in rear with car sound proofing material bought on Amazon, less than $100. In fact, I put multiple layers on, and also put a 1/2" sound barrier on firewall. There are several posts on sound proofing on this forum...

    5150 12" whip lite

    Sorry don't have an ADV5 so can't help with the window issue. However, on the wiring you might consider running the lites off a pig tail plugged into the rear tail lites. Worked for me, since they have a remote controller to manage the lights.

    Rear lock and ride box for xpedition

    I bought box at HomeDepot and fabricated a holder out of aluminum to keep it set in place. Put lock on it and works great for all my tools and other stuff. It is water proof as well. I think it cost me $50. Used the 4 screws in the bed to hold it in place. Nice alternative until something...

    Added Fire Extinguiser

    Took out the back seat cup holders and added a fire extinguiser using the screws that held the cup holders. I didn't think back seat riders where going to put their drinks in them on a ride but felt the FX had more value. Bought the FX holder on Amazon. Had to buy one that almost matched up...

    Rzr owner, looking to possibly move to an xpedition

    Had a RZR XP4 Turbo, got tired of eating the dust here in the desert, so went to a XP5 Northstar and love it. Bit noisy but I improved that by adding noise reducing material both at the firewall and back seat area, which improved it. Just added some neat lights. Would not go back to a RZR...

    5150 12" whip lite

    Not sure waiting to get them and try them out, but my hope is that they will fit since they fit the PRO cage which I believe is the same support bars, not completely round. If they don't I will post but I think they well. The Youtube video on an xPedition with the same lights seem to have...

    Doing it now. Waiting on the brackets to complete. Wired and ready to go. I used tail light pig tail for power since the ones I bought only need power as they included a remote for all; on/off, color schemes etc. I didn't want to go thru all the work of wiring it thru the rear and the dash...

    Lake Havasu City Northstar owner

    Sticks on dash have had no issues in rough rides, bought on Amazon for $10, put magnet back on cell phone and it hasn't come off in the roughest of rides. Been using it for 4 months now on multiple rides. Works like a charm for me.

    Lite Bars and/or Block Lites.

    The light bar uses a remote, so I can turn it on/off, flashing, all outside the cab. Happy with the power as well. Small but bright.

    Lite Bars and/or Block Lites.

    Bought UNI-SHINE Single Row Slim 10" light bar mounted inside the bull bar, also Glareteck wiring harness with remote controller so I didn't need to do serious electrical work, just plug and play under hood. Looks and works great for my need.

    Sound deading materials

    With regard to resonix, did you take out the back seat to put behind the seat? Can you share a bit of installation like where, doors, etc?

    Door key question

    Thanks, I will try that. Interesting you say that they are the same as the dealer I bought it from said that the keys were different and that I had to have all the locks replaced with a new key, so the dealer ordered 4 new door locks 4 months ago which I have been waiting on. Seemed odd to me...
