RZR 50" Getting a makeover

Coming right along. Sitting right at 14" of ground clearance.

Thanks guys. I had to leave it at my buddys house. He is going to weld in the lower mounts and install the custom made doors he is making for it. I wanted to jump in and go for a ride so bad, even if the brake calipers weren't on it yet.... LOL

lookin good

Suspension finished. Longhairs dog looks awfully comfy in my drivers seat. That is the kewlest dog I ever seen. A Rzr riding beer drinking golden retriever.

Looks good let us know how you like it once you get some seat time in it

Great looking golden-----oh yeah. Nice job on the rzr.

I wonder what the extended length of those xp shocks vs the S shocks?

I hope you don't have cv bind, because you have got to be as high as you can go without trouble. That is going to be one bad machine. It's gonna go like a tank, and handle like a racecar compared to how it was.

It has a seriously mean look.

NICE

The XP shock length was 23" from center of eye to center of eye. Not sure what the S lengths are. We made sure there was no bind and then went up just a little more, just to make sure.

The lastest picture. I should have it back Wednsday... Can not wait to get some seat time in it. Hopefully some riding around the house to work out any small bugs and a trip this weekend over to RUSH.........

Looks like a winner to me!!

I'm going to put my lift on friday night. I will measure the shocks so we will know how they compare. From the looks of the pics, the xp shocks may be a little longer. I would say they are 2" longer than the S. (12" stroke vs 14" stroke)

O they are definitely longer. The first pics are with the S shocks. I would sat 3-4 inches longer. And the xp shocks are the same length front and back.........

looks great, let us know how the handling is

Those doors look great....keep on posting the progress

Finally got to go for a short ride. I love it. Before small pot holes would jar my kidneys. Now I can't even feel them. I got a lot of tweaking to do. Got to get my toe and camber etc set.

Looking good Kymedic, those doors made like the TDO's? Ncmayo helped me get the radio mounted now i reckon i've got to go riding in WV to see if it's working right as none of my bunch has one yet. But that the main reason i got it was for the spring ride and using in those hills up there! What did the swap out on the suspension run you shocks and all?

Total cost is under $1500. I gave $950 for the +6 kit and $475 for the XP shocks. $1425 to be exact. I gave $400 to have the doors built, so I am at $1825 for everything I have done. The doors were custom built by a friend who goes by the name of Longhair. He does wonderful work. It's hard to tell by the pics but the fit and finish of his doors blows PA and UTV doors away. The is no seam where the sheet metal meets the frame. He welds them in fully and grinds it smooth. Latched are automotive style and lock securely.

Looks good, seems affordable and you like the performance. Sounds like a great project and I'm sure you had a lot of fun putting it together.

I definitely have a better understanding of the inner workings of my RZR now.

Ahh yeahh! That thing is ready!

Yeah, we are heading to Rush Ky, tomorrow for a ride. Should be plenty of video of it afterwards. I am taking a good set of tools to smack any gremlins that may be lurking. I know with this amount of work anything could come loose or need adjusting. So I am going prepared for about anything.

you will drive yourself nuts adjusting the shocks for a while.
