Pitbull Rocker UBER XOR Tires on the RockCrawler RZR

As I’ve noted previously, any idiot can purchase new tires, put them on their rig, and give glowing reviews about how well they work.  “Hey, look what I bought, and look how well they work the first day!”  Now, let them sit in the sun for a few months…let them get scarred and gouged on… Continue reading Pitbull Rocker UBER XOR Tires on the RockCrawler RZR

RockCrawler RZR Videos

September 21, 2010 Had the opportunity this past weekend to put the RockCrawler RZR thru it’s higher speed paces.  A friend has 500 acres with a private lake in northern Wisconsin, and parts of the property includes trails for their ATV’s.  We made a few hot lap runs around the 1.7 mile lake loop. The… Continue reading RockCrawler RZR Videos

Holz Racing Skid Plate and Pre-Runner Bumper upgrade

As we all know, OEM skidplates are lacking in true protection on any rig.  The plastic skids that come on the Polaris RZR are likely adequate for the casual user, but if you play at all, you’ll find them getting scarred and damaged quickly.  Serious protection and function means upgraded materials and an integrated system…Holz… Continue reading Holz Racing Skid Plate and Pre-Runner Bumper upgrade

Rigid Industries 30″ LED Light Bar

Lighting on any rig is important, for safety and visibility.  Seeing the trail ahead when rock crawling or watching the trail ahead when desert running requires a product that will withstand a great deal of abuse and offer both spot and flood capabilities.   The 30″ Rigid “E” Series Light Bar met all of these… Continue reading Rigid Industries 30″ LED Light Bar

D&L Machine RZR Air Box

The Polaris RZR air intake system is notorious for not filtering well….the 2008 models had major issues with particles in the throttle body, and while the 2009-2010 models are improved, it’s nothing more than a band-aid over a machete wound.  Don Herman from D&L Machine outside Oklahoma City discovered this issue early on with his… Continue reading D&L Machine RZR Air Box

ATR Dash Bar – RockCrawler RZR

If you play at all, you are going to flop your RZR…if you play hard, you are likely to do a full roll.  And if you’ve spent any time researching on the internet, you’ve seen the images of the RZR A-pillar bent to one side or the other following a rollover.  The stock RZR rollcage… Continue reading ATR Dash Bar – RockCrawler RZR

RockCrawler RZR install: MotoAlliance Viper EX4000 winch

MotoAlliance has built a nice reputation in the UTV/ATV market for their affordable yet high-quality winches…add on the two year warranty that comes stock with their Elite series, and you’ve got a great value.  But why add the winch so soon?  It may not appear to be a high priority, but bigger tires and more… Continue reading RockCrawler RZR install: MotoAlliance Viper EX4000 winch

All Terrain Research “Chassis Ribs”

Another major recommended addition for a stock or LE model RZR are “Chassis Ribs” from All Terrain Research.  Like the previously installed “Chassis Bones,” these help prevent the RZR chassis from bending during jumping/landing by tying the rear suspension mounts together. (Yes, you will jump your RZR…and yes, it is fun…don’t kid yourself!) The install… Continue reading All Terrain Research “Chassis Ribs”

All Terrain Research “Chassis Bones” install on the RockCrawler RZR

First on the project list were the items that would help keep the OEM parts from disintegrating after it’s first trip out. Did some online research and one of the companies that jumped out was All Terrain Research out of Tyler TX. The owner, Jeremy Bratcher, is an offroad enthusiast with a variety of addictions,… Continue reading All Terrain Research “Chassis Bones” install on the RockCrawler RZR
