Thanks for the vid, I appreciate you sharing your experience with the last wheeler. I had the same experience with my can am 4 seat. Too much weight and power to stand up to the parts.
Sorta sounds like you modded your last one until it started tearing itself apart. Leave it stock (or close at least) and it's bound to last a lot better. That's why the john deere guys find the gators so reliable I think.... 60hp, 45mph, 27" rubber... but they go a long way without detonating transmissions or twisting axle shafts.
Very Nice!! I have a 2021 SOHC Ranger and did a few upgrades to it. Still working on the more in-depth video, just have a short one on the tires and lights.
no reverse chain ? i am glad to hear that, i was looking at parts/acc and saw the upgrade for the chain and the chain alone was 699 ouch i hav a 2020 also i am a happy guy now ! thanks happy riding !!
Nice Ranger. I bought a 2021 Polaris Ranger crew 1000 premium a few weeks ago. I liked how you kept your faith in a Polaris Ranger despite the problems you had with your last one and you did not go on a rampage on saying Polaris is "junk", like many people do. I believe doing proper maintenance and using the machine for what it is intended and capable of is key in making any truck, UTV , trailer etc... last longer and encounter less problems. Besides having rear differential problems and wheel bearings, what other problems have you encountered with the Polaris Rangers you have had?
The crew I had so far has had 4 transmissions. Wheel bearings, tie rods, steering rack and a couple rear wheel hubs. This one I have now has 2300 miles and I haven't had to anything but change the oil and put gas in it. My crew was cursed.
A guy in my hunting club has a Polaris Ranger 1000. Nothing but trouble. I wish I had a nickel for every time he has replaced bearings and axles. Front differential rebuilt also. You couldn’t give me a Polaris.
Love the setup and thanks for the walk around video! I like the idea of the amber light in the front as well. I've done something similar on my 4Runner TRD Pro with Baja Designs LEDs. Which light bar did you go with there if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
I have the same machine but orange. Love it. I want to upgrade tires/wheels too but have seen issues with other peoples rubbing with that size. If you turn the wheel all the way and hit a bump does it rub? Thats when you would notice rubbing. Im not lifting mine. Not worth the headache. Im still gonna do the Gilomen tune/clutch kit as it just smooths out the clutching and drivability. Sounds like your Crew had clutch alignment issues hence the hard shifting into gear. Just a heads up i did a front brushguard on mine that looks like it uses the same support as your rack. Polaris makes a redesigned crossbar so it doesn't block your camera. Where did you get the back window wrap you had on your Crew? Nice looking machine👌
The tires are 30-in big horns They actually measure 29-in They don't rub at all full clock articulated nothing. The back window film I got off of Amazon it was for a truck I didn't do it this time because when it gets wet you can't see out of it. I appreciate you telling me about the update across bar because that was an issue on it that I should have mentioned in the video thank you I'll look into it. I end up getting a whole new clutch with the totally different part number and I still broke a shift lever after that I'm not for sure what was going on but I was suspecting maybe the Gilman clutch tune had something to do with it as I had the dealer reinstall it in the new clutch and they did check the alignment make sure everything was good to go. like I said this unit though shifts like butter so I'm not touching it and it runs 70 miles an hour.
@@tuttlepuddle where did you buy the wheels and tires from??? Were they a package??? How much were they$$$, and how wide are they??? Thanks! I run tracks on mine hence wanting to do the tune/clutch kit still.
What size are the rims and what are the tire sizes on all 4 corners??? They all the same size??? I can't find the 30" anywhere! Where did you get them???
Just so everyone knows. The air-conditioning really does not work in hot climates where you need air-conditioning. See my video I bought a 4 door model.
Can you tell me where you got you front hood rack. I like it! Waiting on my 2021 1000 xp Northstar ultimate crew. I sure hope I better luck than you did
Factory Polaris ...and I sure hope you do as well. Man, honestly it was just a curse and I feel sorry for who ever has it today lol. Polaris has made some good improvements after this unit though. Thanks for watching.
They don't and I got them off Amazon. Had to modify them by cutting some material off as they put the bar too high. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0799KRLFT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The rears were perfect www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JVSKL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
www.amazon.com/dp/B0711QGZZ6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Didn't come with the brackets though. Had the same light bar on my last one. Video is in my channel. It's been fantastic has never leaked or got foggy and is extremely bright.
@@tuttlepuddle Thanks for the info. I looked at your other video on the crew it appears that you mounted the light bar differently on this one then you did on the crew. Did you have the brackets fabricated and which mounting system did you like the best. This installation looks a little neater I like it. Also do you think this one is less noisy then the crew. Hopefully they are addressing the noise dampening as they improve these machines. Thanks for your help.
@@saddletramp6808 This one is a lot quieter. The light bar on the front I ordered these. We shaved it down because the light bar was really high so it's somewhat custom. They rivet into the upper door frame.
I've got the exact same ranger and looking to get the same light bar setup, in the Amazon reviews some people say the light bar is too short? Did you have this problem? And does the hole drilling affect the doorstripping/weatherproofing of the cab?
@@nickelmore8679 It's a 52" curved light bar just like the one I had in my 19. The brackets rivet in so it's pretty much flush and doesn't effect the seal at all.
