New stuff came in.

Last few days have been a bit like Christmas.

Yesterday my Jstrong top arrived, I have not had time to mount it yet, but hope to get to it in the next few days. I am trying to decide if I want to hard wire direct to the battery with and auxillary switch or run a relay and tie it into the ignition so it is only on when the key is on.

Yesterday, I also received my new LTR Exhaust system. This is a very nice setup, some nice custom billet parts are included with this system. LTR was also nice enough to ship the Supertrapp disks as well as the quiet cores. Hopefully I can get the noise level down a little with the combination.

And, in the next day or so I should receive my new Dakota UTV-1500 digital gauge. This gauge is very nice, it offers water temp, volts, and oil pressure as well as the main that the stock odometer offers.

Yeah I knew I would get my ba_lls busted for not posting any pictures. I wanted to wait till everything was installed before I took the pictures.

Soon....very soon.

Christmas in September.........WOOHOO!!! You will love that J Strong top.

Yeah, I am entering into a 12 step program after all this.

But in all seriousness, I am reading all of the horror stories about the airbox/throttle body boot letting air in. I would like to upgrade the airbox but only if it's necessary. Whats everyones take on this? If the 09's have been fixed, I don't want to mess with it.

Where are they......

Trust me they will be posted soon, Tires are literally being made, the wheels are in Beckley, the Exhaust is still in the box (pictures tonight if it doesn't get dark along with the top) and gauge is in route.

I think the 09's are ok from what I have seen and read and Bush had around 1600 miles on his with no dust getting into his throttle body.

That's cool, I'm heading it down to the WW and Pinnacle on the 15th of October. You know how dusty it gets especially this time of year. Just wanted to be sure.

I did order a UNI filter for it thought.

I think you are better off using the Polaris paper filter than the uni filter from all I have read about the RZR and dust with people using the uni & K&N

Interesting. I will definitely keep that in mind.

I know that in a lot of testing, the UNI and TwinAir filters were always the best when we would do a illuminescent micron test.

I will look at this though thats for sure.

For the record, I will not even consider K&N because tesing showed that it is substandard in dusty situations.

mine has just under 1700 miles no dust it the intake. so i do think the dust issue is fixed. i ran the stock filter with an outerwear over it. i do like a UNI filter over the stock filter but as long as the stock filter was working i was not going to change it. and as a K&N goes i dont like them on something that goes in a lot of dust. i do run one in my truck but will not ever see one in any of my offroad toys!

Thanks bush, that is a bit reassuring.

I may hold off on the airbox, the LTR exhaust whipped my butt, so I am tired of installing plus the fact that the bed is a major pain to remove.

Here are some pictures i took after the install.

that looks great.


how does it sound?

No idea how it sounds. By the time I finished up, my kids were in bed. I wasn't about to re-awake twin 3 year olds.

I also need to get a set of ball end allen wrenches, and some ball end allen wrench sockets in order to finish torquing the exhaust manifold.

So far , so good--keep the pictures coming

OK, with the standard tips and spark arrestors is is loud. I equade it to a Harley Thunderheader for those who know what that is.

I put the quiet core along with the spark arrestors and it is much more docile now. Very close if not quieter than the stock. It has a deeper tone, and not as raspy.

Tomorrow I am going to try the Supertrapp disks to see what that does for the noise. I also hope to get some sound clips along with decibel readings tomorrow also.

OK, more images.

My wheels are now here.

These are the DWT Racing Diablo Wheels. Color is Black Chrome.

Nice looking wheels

Thanks, when DWT told me about them I really could not picture what they would look like. And the images certainly do not justice. He told me that these would have the look of a black wheel, but the finish would be 100% more durable than powerdercoat or hard coat anodizing.

Nice lookin rims for sure.

I like that black chrome...been thinking of getting all the chrome crap on my hummer done in it!

Nice

Sweet.. you going to sale the factory rims?
