1. i need to know the steps in replacing the cage with a custom one
2. do you have to remove the plastics to install the cage or just loosen up the bungs and pull out the cage
3. the bungs that i buy to tie in to the old ones do you have to buy factory ones or does somebody make some that will work with factory or can you just cut the old ones out and replace them with some off the shelf ones that i choose
4.is the factory cage 1.750 or some oddball size
1.To remove the factory cage, just unbolt the 4 allen head bolts on the A pillar and (on the 800, at least) there are 3 bolts on each B pillar. 1 of them has a nut welded to the back side, the other 2 have nuts you need to put a wrench on.
2. No plastic removal necessary.
3. Joey Gilbert (205-368-9842) can hook you up with all the tube clamps you need. They match up with the factory ones. If you plan on tying it into a rear bumper, you will need to put bungs on it also. Same with front bumper. You will also need the plates that sit where the B pillar bolts on, a rear bumper plate, and a front mounting plate.
4.Factory is 1.75x.065 I believe.
The rough in-order way of doing things is-
Call Joey and get the a-pillar clamps, b-pillar plates, 2 sets of clamps for rear bumper, rear bumper plate, 2 sets of clamps for front bumper, and under diff mounting plate.
Bolt up a pillar clamps, b pillar plates, and rear bumper plate onto the rzr.
From there, we started my cage off the rear bumper plate and worked our way to the main cage.
Once everything is build and tacked in place, you cut out the tube to put your front and rear bumper clamps in.
When you get it light you want it, pull it off and finish weld.
Spend some time in the sxs forum and check out my thread, then give Joey Gilbert a call. He will get you set up.
