I picked up a new 2015 Polaris Ranger 900 XP a couple of weeks ago and figured it was about time I join up.
A little background: I grew up on Yamaha's... my grandpa had 'em, my parents had 'em and when I got serious about the ATV game I bought a 2012 Yamaha Grizzly. Good reliable machines that I never had any problems out of. I had a lot of fun on it, but decided it was time for a side x side. I tried to hold off because I just knew that Yamaha was going to come out with something that could compete with Polaris and Can-Am, ha!! So I decided to test drive the Viking (how did that thing get through engineering QA/QC tests?). It shook like crazy while idling, it was extremely loud and just didn't have the power that I wanted. So I decided on the Ranger 900 XP model with EPS. I couldn't be happier with my decision, I've been on a couple of rides so far and found a lot of excuses to put it to work around the house.
I decided to join this forum over some of the others because as I have been doing research over the past few months trying to make my final decision I always found myself arriving on this forum, either for information or inspiration as to what I want to build. So thank ya'll for unknowingly helping me make my decision. I'm looking forward to learning and eventually contributing some knowledge back as well.
I'm still trying to finalize my plans, but right now I'm stuck somewhere between a 3" lift with 32" tires to 5" lift with 34" tires, we'll see. Plus all the regular goodies like the windshield, roof, snorkels, winch, etc. Already have the harness override from Dragonfire on the way.
And what's a forum without a couple of pictures...
And just for kicks here is my Grizzly before I sold it.
