  1. Ok… one more thing. I will add a couple pics in the event you want to make your own windows to add to a set of half doors. my windows operate independently of the doors. But I only run the windows in bad or extremely cold weather. So I want them off probably 60-70% of the time. I think the steel tubing is like 3/8” … around there ( solid steel). Heat up the steel to bend to your shape. Weld up, add some gussets for strength. Cost about $500 for upholstery. found the door latch on Amazon. It’s a Fork Lift door latch system an actually recently added to the windows. Made them several years ago, but the last latch system wasn’t very sturdy. This is way better. There are two hinges per window frame. I have them set up to lift off Small posts stay on the UTV, other side is welded to window frame let me know if I can help with anything else.
  2. Ok, interesting…. So I went and looked again. I STAND CORRECTED…..see link below: https://www.everythingpolarisrzr.com/polaris-rzr/polaris-rzr-accessories.html?mz.eprzr_2seater=2012 RZR 570 in 2012, they only list a Ranger in 500 BUT, under RZR, they list a 2012 RZR 570. You must have a ‘RZR’ not a Ranger? Now I am guessing, based off the details you’ve sent me. look at the photo I added this time. This is what I found on-line. A stock photo… it’s a 2012 RZR 570. Maybe they called those a Ranger/RZR? But part wise, look it up as a RZR 570, if yours matches the photo on the every thing Polaris web site, I’m only seeing very little options for that year. Hope this helps…. Only other suggestions is to make a frame yourself and have a shop Upholster them.
  3. 2012 570….must be a Ranger? There is no such thing as a Ranger/RZR. is your 570 a full size or mid size Ranger? Also, you sure it’s a 2012? I am only seeing both a mid sized Ranger and full sized Ranger 570 started in the year 2014. so, to answer your question, go to this site to look up your stuff, when you actually know what year, make and model you actually own….best of luck: https://www.everythingpolarisranger.com/?mz.epr_midsize=2014 Ranger 570&mz.epr_fullsize=2014 Ranger 570 BTW, I have a 2013 Ranger 900XP, Full Size. I am using Dragon half doors, used round steel stock to make window frames and paid a ulpostry shop to skin the frames. Windows easily come off for spring/summer use.
  4. And another thing…. your buddy may run into trouble only when he uses 4x4 with different diameter tires. Just like a regular vehicle. If he’s in dirt where everything can spin at it’s own speed, it may survive, but I wouldn’t risk it. These things cost too much best wishes
  5. You are correct Grub. Same diameter is what is critical! Width is personal preference. A lot of working UTVs come narrower in the front. Most sport UTVs are coming all same width, typically all 4 would be the more narrower width.
  6. Anyway you can post a picture of where this grounding strap is located? I would love to give mine a once over to ensure it’s not getting loose. thanks for the update! 🤘
  7. Obviously, if there is a loose or bad wire/connection somewhere, it can be repaired. But, chasing those electrical gremlins can be a royal pain. It does make it easier when you have mechanical skills and know where to look. If you decide to dive in, make sure to get a good deal! Best of luck.
  8. I have a 2013 Polaris Ranger 900, which I’ve owed since I bought it off the show room floor. I’ve never had an issue with it stalling after washing it or riding it through water. However, I would say I’ve never had it in deeper water than about 16-18” deep. I have not fully submerged mine and never plan too. Also it’s been garaged kept it’s entire life other than when I am out abusing it. I also have an aftermarket clutch, programmer, Elka 5.0 fully adjustable shocks, and drive it like I stole it. I take care of it, but I really do drive it hard. My main UTV buddies both have turbo RzR’s 1000. I want mine for play and to use around the property and for hunting. I would be careful on the one with a stalling issue. None of ours stall out after getting wet. just my 2 cents …
  9. I’ve heard they can stick. Usually more so in winter. But not likely your issue. Have you checked your valve clearance? That will make hard starting in winter, but potentially make any vehicle run wrong. My Ranger 900 was recommended at 200 hrs and/or 2000 miles. I checked them at 250 hrs and had 2 of the 8 valves barely out of spec. Hard to start, little rough idle and would occasionally die when at idle but would go down trails fine once on the gas. Once back in spec, runs perfect, starts perfectly and idles great again. sorry, started to talk about fuel pump But you changed it, so I removed that comment check your valves? How many hours, miles? just throwing out some ideas. Hope they help. keep us posted
  10. Hey man…. Sorry to hear about your accident, glad you have recovered enough to get back into the outdoors. I would suggest two things: 1) Go to a dealer and sit in as many as possible. More likely you will want a ‘utility’ UTV. #1, they will be easier to get in and out of since most have big door openings….#2, most utility UTV’s are meant to carry a decent load, so you wouldn’t have an issue with a friend or spouse to ride along. 2) Start with a Honda Pioneer 1000. Father-in-law has one and it’s pretty roomy, rides really nice and has plenty of power. A good quality UTV will also have a tilt wheel and adjustable seat. Hope this helps you out. Best of Luck!
  11. I know this is an old thread...but anyways, I have a 2013 Ranger 900. I use a Full poly windshield for winter, early spring and late fall. I run a half poly windshield for late spring, summer, early fall. They are both directly from Polaris. So they are quick and easy to change, with their "Quick" release latches. Just options...
  12. I know this is an old thread...but OK, good luck! I have used my $250.00, 4000lb winch numerous times out on the trail and EVERY time I plow my drive way. I would install a winch, period. And the winch has been installed since 2014, no issues other than a new rope and I use a strap on the winch in winter for the snow plow.
  13. Agreed, nothing will stop or prevent scratches on a "plastic/poly" windshield...BUT, I too use Plexus. Best thing I have found. One trick, use compressed air as much as possible before cleaning, helps remove some dust, but in the long run....scratches are inevitable.
  14. Look into a DURACLUTCH system. Don't know if they have one for your model, but maybe they could make one? Great system, works amazing on my Ranger 900. https://www.duraclutch.com
  15. Look into a "DuraClutch." I added this to a Polaris Ranger 900 and the clutch system (yes, still a belt system with inner clutch) will engage right away even without throttle and give you immediate engine braking one of the best investments I have added to my rig. https://www.duraclutch.com
