My wife and I had been discussing getting rid of our 800 RZR for a while now to trade up for a 900. We pretty much had our eyes set on a 900 until my brother picked up a brand new 1000s. Things are nasty compared to the 800. My wife and I both took my brother's ride for a spin and decided we had to have one too. The whole idea was that we would sell the 800 and my XJ and wheel the new 1000S until I finish my CJ5 build.
We picked up a black 2016 1000S about a month ago.
We took it home, i ripped a few donuts in the garage and parked it. The next day my wife takes it out to show the neighbor. Well, she was trying to show off and, literally, in 16 seconds she rolled it on it's side in our field trying to do a donut.
I figured we better put a cage on it before one of us goes tumbling down a hill with the newfound confidence of 100 hp under our feet. So we tore it down and went to work. We have never done any tube work. If it weren't for bendtech and a couple of friends to get us started we would still be staring at it. So here's our first attempt at building something that's functional and looks decent. Still have to do bumpers and add tabs for harnesses and brackets for the doors but we are at a good stopping point to take a break for the holiday.
I'll probably continue to post pics of our progress. Hoping to be done by the middle of January...we work slow!
Merry Christmas!
