Traded my 2012 XP 900 for a new XP1000. Didn't like the stock cage and some of the other perfectly good stock parts so I bought and fabricated some stuff. Here are some pictures of the build and I will put up pictures whenever I take it out somewhere interesting.

Took off the unsafe cage. Also the radius rods, trailing arms and Lower a arms. Also the seatbelts, doors, maxxis tires and stock skid plate. The new cage was built by wide open designs, we made the front bumper and spare tire holder. The new cage is .120dom and welded together.

I also put on trail armor rock sliders. A horn and blinker kit. Led light bar. The high clearance a arms, trailing arms, and lower radius rods are the ARSFX stuff from zbros racing. They don't make 2017 stuff yet so some modification was required. Also did a warn 4500lb winch. And all sorts of other stuff that doesn't deserve mentioning. Or that I forgot.

Took it out to moab before the build and took it out by my house to bash some snow drifts and test drive after the build.

I like it. Might have to add one to my wish list. Still have my Polaris sportsman 700 out at camp but I'm unable to ride very far due to lack of back support.

Damn, how much weight did you add to that thing ........... it had to affect performance.

Performance is still awesome. It will still jump, cross big snow drifts, climb rocks and hills. Cage and spare tire add the most weight but if you know about off road racing you'll know that a welded .120 wall cage vs a bolted .95 wall is a huge safety difference. The high clearance parts aren't very heavy but are a lot stronger. Tires are about the same. Winch is heavy but like the spare tire doesn't need explanation. Doors are aluminum and rock sliders aren't heavy. No weight issues here.

I'm seriously jealous. Within a couple years I plan on selling the Polaris 700 atv and getting something similar. A buddy of mine has the 570 razor and it's alright. I like the size. Only a couple inches wider than mine.

I think they make the ace "1 person" with a 900cc engine. It should be close to the width of your 700cc. Put up a picture next time you take your 700 out.

Also got some rock crawling in. One of the tougher trails by my house is now melted. I didn't do a good job capturing it but the front right tire is about a foot in the air.IMG_20170610_164225_hdr.jpg

I went out yesterday with some friends and came across this. I believe it was a 4 seat 2016 rzr XP1000. It could have been anything but usually they completely burn like this whenever people store gas in the back "above the engine ". It was pretty unbelievable how completely burnt up it was. Hopefully the occupants were able to get out without being burnt. IMG_20170708_133943.jpg

Took a friend to Rollins pass, Jenny creek, Mammoth gulch, mosquito creek and miners creek today. We went 60 miles in total. We were planning on going up Kingston peak but the forest service didn't open the gate today like they were supposed to. We saw the forest rangers and they told us a snow drift was the reason the gate was still closed. Maybe next week. It was a great day now I need a nap.

Awesome pictures. Keep them coming. I only hope to have half as much fun with my side by side when I get it.

Went to Jones pass today for a combo 4x4 and hike. The road isn't very challenging but I was able to wake up some campers "4:30am". There is a huge snow drift at the top. I have heard that someone puts in a cat trail in the winter so maybe it would be a good place to take my cat. A friend and I hiked south on the continental divide trail for a few hours. It's really nice up there.
This is the snow drift.

Went up spring creek today. It's just outside Dumont. Definitely the most difficult trail I have done with this UTV and probably the limit of its capabilities. We came across some groups of jeeps and made some new friends. We got super lucky and didn't break anything but the jeeps didn't fair as well. IMG_20170805_110558.jpg

Had so much fun on Saturday that a group of us took the day off and went back up spring creek. One person lost 4 wheel drive before the first obstacle. Different person knocked a tire off the bead and blew a hydraulic steering hose on the first obstacle. I tried the main line on the first obstacle and scared everyone so I just went up the easier way. I knocked a tire off the bead on the second obstacle and lost a couple skid plate bolts. Another guy popped a tire after the second obstacle. And surprisingly we got everything fixed and we got everyone thru the rock garden without issue. Not a good day for tires but a great day with friends. IMG_20170810_094605_hdr.jpg
