My neighbor bought me one of these for Christmas this year. Which i was totally surprised. It will mostly get light use so maybe it will last a while. 🤞🤞 no extended warranty. But im thankful 🙏

Great video, answered all my questions. Thank you for your time in making this follow up video!

Is it 2 seater? Can two peoples ride on it legally ?

Good review. Thanks

kid and I did it with the bumper skin on. 2015 jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the off- road pkg. Not a super fan of this car. Had to abandon the skin removal due to the riveted on to the fender. pulling the skin away from the bolts was ok but it was a 3 handed job. I could do it with a couple 2x4's as a shim to hold it out. the arms were easy to take after the frame extensions were off. E-torqs 16, 18, 20 are manditory tools 21mm for skid plate 18mm and 19 mm sockets 6mm allen for the balljoint and a pitman arm puller with a steel shim ontop of the ball joint bolt. Sloppy 8 hrs for us. But I enjoyed my kid doing the work mostly.

What size tires are you running and are they the tusk terrabite

Excellent, thanks!!

I've had my 26 gal Fortress Ultra Quiet for just over two weeks now (12/24/24), and so far, so good. I've mainly used it for airing tires on family vehicles, and blowing leaves from around the driveway and walkways near the garage. I commented last week on last year's video, and wasn't disappointed to have a few "Dad Jokes" in this one, as well. Thanks for being an understanding & tolerant neighbor to the kids with the band. Who knows - they may be the next "big thing" in a couple of years, and may well remember the folks that *didn't* complain about their practice sessions!! One question: I noticed you swapped out the left air outlet for the Harbor Freight high flow fittings. Do you find your ka-dukka-duks run better on that set up vs the standard air connectors? Again, thanks for the content, and the follow-up is greatly appreciated.

The Ultra Torque 1/2” with the 12 amp battery is an absolute monster. I’m an old school mechanic. Never thought I would ditch my pneumatic tools but here I am slowly building up my Hercules arsenal.

Ur level of detail is as how I would do it. Spend the extra to do the job right

I've had the 10-gallon version for about a year, and it's been great. It really is much quieter than the others I've had. It makes plenty of air and keeps up well with all the tools I use on it. There is an easy 20 minute break-in procedure you have to preform with it before putting it to use (run for 20 min with the drain valve open), and it's listed at the front of the instruction manual. If you don't do it, the compressor tends to fail early. Many people miss it by not reading the manual before using it.

A heat gun will also help make the plastics look better. Especially the black parts.

15:34 what are thos bolts called u recommend replacing? I cant even find RockyMountain website

I’ve really enjoyed watching this series. Looking forward to whatever comes next.

You did an awesome job 🙂 That thing looks 100X better than it did! If I could give you just 1 bit of advice, paint the plastics with a neutral color( black, gray, etc..) then wrap it !! You stated that it's not a restoration, and obvious it's more of "custom" job, I would wrap it with a wrap from AMR Racing. I did my sons 2010 Sportsman XP 550, my other sons 2017 Sportsman 570 and my 2017 Sportsman 850 SP and they turned out awesome!! the wrap my son picked out didn't match the burgundy painted plastics from the factory, so I removed all the decals, stickers, and repainted them in a "graphite metallic", it turned out awesome, only cost me about $40 in paint and supply's + $270 for the wrap!! I'm trying to figure out how to share pictures with you?? I'll leave a link to their website, check out all their stuff 🙂 Awesome video, look forward to what you have planned for this.

Great series on an awesome looking freshen up. I was just given the same model, so you've given me some great ideas. It's going to need some of the same things done to it. Always good when your buddy's wife wants it out of the yard.😂

Excellent presentation! Great amount of work done! Cheers, and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours from ours!

Just have to turn the front plastics sideways and slip it over the handlebars. Easy peasy

Man, nice I'm in Arizona, I've got a 2024 Sportsman 570 Ride Command, we call them Quad's !

Mine failed 2 weeks after the 90 days......if you get it....get the extended warranty.

Thanks for the update. I’m thinking of picking one up

I guess the plug in won’t charge the battery

I’m trying to sell my 2014 wildcat4 1000. Know a good place to list it??

Definitely a helpful video. Thank you

love it

Is it good enough/powerful enough for basic automotive maintenance such as rotate wheels? Remove and re-install brake caliper bolts with a 1/2" impact gun for when brakes are needed? Its hard to figure out the exact specs that are required for a compressor to safely do the job

Nice, I drove my 22 Ford Ranger down in March earlier this year and it was definitely a bit sketchy with the giant rut down the middle. Planning on driving back up it this Sunday.😄

Billy looking bad ass, can't wait to see it rip!

Throttle switch

I was looking at this one for it's quietness but a little worried about the 4.5 CFM for little grinders and sanders. Have you used this with anything with 4.5-6 CFM without issues? Thanks for the video!

Lol how do I always get stuck on a rock ? Answer! Because you straddled it ! That's funny. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the video! I went a slightly different direction and went with some higher lumen pods and skipped the 14" bar. Followed your install - was helpful! Enjoy your vids. Cheers from Minnesota.

Good honest video. I'm glad you like your Polaris, but I detect a little disdain for them too? To me, Polaris engineers must skip right over their cousins and go right for their sisters. Some of the most bassackwards, hairbrained designs and features of any brand anywhere, IMO. All the crap I've seen them do is too numerous to list here, but I will comment on the one you mentioned....AWD. Ok, AWD has it's place, for sure. It's fantastic in a rally car, or in a family sedan made for good mpg, or even patchy ice and snow on a highway. But in the off-road world that ATVs are built for, it's not even close to the best system. An autonomous locker that must slip before it engages simply does NOT work better than a true 4wd open diff with a manual locker. From a user standpoint, a locker must work all the time in places such as Moab where the sandpaper grip of the slickrock will rarely let a Polaris kick it's front wheels in to help "pull" the quad over a ledge or crack. A manual 4wd with a manual locker ALWAYS has the system in operation so there is always power to the front wheels regardless of traction. Secondly, from an engineering standpoint, a magnetically operated clutch pack locker with sensors renders the machine with a major problem in that the front wheels are never mechanically connected to the rears. The result is the need for another band aid system to correct for rear wheel only engine brake skid, and that's exactly what ADC is. Polaris tried to make it sound like only their machines with ADC have engine braking on hills, and that they invented it and own it, but it's hilarious to every other brand user out there because our machines automatically have engine braking to four wheels simply by just having the 4wd system engaged. No other systems or computerized garbage needs to correct for going down a hill without your back end fishtailing all over. Also, a true 4wd system works just as good in reverse as it does in forward. So if you get started down a line on a hill and need to back up and take a different line, it does it effortlessly amd automatically. On a Polaris AWD system, the computer cancels the ADC as soon as the gear selection goes into reverse! Polaris People.....friends, Polaris has been trying to reinvent the wheel for decades and selling you the Koolaid that their bad idea was actually a good one. There is a reason why all serious off road vehicles from buggies to Jeeps to ATVs have 4wd systems and not AWD systems. Don't even get me started on battery placement, gas tank placement, air box placement, roll centers, center of gravity, shotty workmanship, cheap plastics everywhere, one lever braking, 900 pound ATV's, servicing nightmares, high stall helix's, etc etc. Every Polaris owner eventually learns that you must start thinking about trading in your Polaris at the 3000 mile mark if you want to have something to ride and not be in the shop, under water.

Loved the video and your sense of humor.👍 One thing you might want to start doing is loosening the fill plugs first before you drain the oils. That way, if the plug is too tight or is stripped, at least you can still run it because there's still oil in it. And "W" does not mean "weight". It means "winter".😉

If you have a traditional oil filter wrench. Note that I have a few different sizes and used a smaller one but nonetheless if you get the handle pointing upwards. You can make small movements at a time and get it off just watch your knuckles. Would suggest an oil filter with the nut on the end for the next change but that tool looks pretty slick.

Thank you for all the information that you did on your video here. I think you did a fine job explaining things what you liked what you didn’t like in complaints about factory things I appreciate that. We thought these were a higher end type unit and we were looking at buying one maybe will maybe keep looking.

How much kPa for this vacuum?

No brush head included?

Enjoyed the video as usual. Looking forward to the next one.

Love learning from all your videos!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I did the something similar to what you did here. I ran into a bigger issue though now the clunking is worse and on both sides where as before it was only on one side. Any recommendations on what could’ve gone wrong here?

If you’re riding in mostly dry environments then this quad will do wonders for you. If your crossing water quickly, entering light holes, or riding in sand beware the clutch exhaust will cause many many problems. TERRIBLE design for an OFV something needs to be changed instantly. Not a good atv choice at all imo

We bought a used 2014 wildcat 4x first trip to the dunes we busted a belt with paddle tires. I’ve since installed an inline fan 270cfm to keep the belt cooler. In duck creek the right rear brake caliper went into our wheel and broke the brake line. We had a spare and able to get back to camp. Had to replace the rotor, caliper and brake line from the front to the rear. My rear diff vents gear oil as well, will be replacing the seals soon. In 8 months we’ve put 500 miles on it. Not a bad rig just can’t make it up comp hill at Amargosa dunes

Nice video! What would you say would be a scenario where someone should actually go for 1/2” drive versus the 3/8” drive? Want to add an imp wrench to my tools (general atv, lawn mower, vehicle work) but unsure on 3/8” vs 1/2”

7:15 you had me at HP Compaq 😂

Another awesome video. Looked like the spark plugs came out easily. I was attempting to replace mine (on a 2004 700 EFI twin) and they are TIGHT, REAL TIGHT and didn't budge using way more umph that should be necessary. Ive changed a lot of plugs in a lot to equipment over the years but have never had to use as much force as I applied in the failed attempts on this machine. Don't know the plugs in my machine has ever been replaced or not. Any suggestions other than just getting a little meaner with it? Any possibility of damaging anything? Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you or others might have..

Great video. Lots of good things in this video that appears to be the same or very similar to what my 2004 sportsman 700 efi twin. My front sstrut bumpers were also deteriorated and falling to pieces. You said you tried several different tools to get the front axles out of the differential but what were you usinig when you finally got it moving and out. Anyway, sure did enjoy this video and plan to watch at least a couple of more of yours tonight. Thanks again for sharing you time and experience.

Nice video!... Years ago we I went up to Lookout. At the time the trail from the Nadeau Trail was pretty good and I was able to make it in my Toyota Highlander without any problem. With the Defense mine, that was another story & bit much so we hiked the final 1/2 mile or so.
