| I ran out of daylight and the best I could do for now was some quick cell phone photos. But, I installed the front and rear bumper, and one set of DJ Safety 4 points. Here are some images. I will try to get some better images tomorrow. My biggest complaints...The front bumper does not align right with aftermarket skids, I had to buy new bolts. The rear bumpre interferes with the fender flares.

| Oh...and for those who see the pack between the two seats, that's the Stearns fender pack from Wal Mart for $14.95. It attaches pefectly, I am dubbing it as the "ONROPE PACK" LOL. | |

| Yeah, it's my new project. We sold GC a few months back. I remained as a moderator while Gearslayer is still be kept as admin for some general support but we really have no vested interest in that site any longer. | |

| Well, the rear bumper is a total flop in my opinion. It's no Polaris' fault, it just isn't impressing me. One thing about it though that I believe they messed up unless this was intended for a 2008 model is the exhaust turns down at just the right angle that the flow centers the cross bar on the bumper causing an resonance that is the most annoying thing you have ever heard.
I will be getting a LTE system in a few weeks, but nevertheless, it'll annoy till then I guess.
As for where they hit the rear fender flares, I think I will be cutting a few inches off of them just to barely clear. | |

| the prerunner rear bumper was made for the 08. the 08 have the exaust tip that goes straight out and the 09 are pointed down. gunrunner had the rear prerunner bumper and cut that bar off to stop the noise on his 09. |

| I`ve got the prerunner rear also and could not stand the sound that the muffler made after the install. I switched to an 08 muffler and cut 2in off the bumper for the fender flares to fit right. |

Yep, I am going to do the same with the bumper ends where they interfere with the flares. As for the noise, I will have dual LTE's in a few weeks so I won't need to worry about the noise. Here are some better images of the front and harnesses. | |

| Thanks.
I have minor complaints with the harnesses, not that it's the harness fault, but more in lines as to where the rear bar in which they are attached to.
When seated, the harness holds you against the seat more than pulling you slightly down into the seat .
I may end up fabricating a clamp on type of bar to move the attachment point down slightly to put a better angle on the driver and passenger restraint.
Withing the next few weeks I should be getting the new seats with the cut outs for the restraints. This may either help my situation or hurt it; then the rear bar will definitely be in order. | |
