    for your velcro door problem...I bought a new roll of high quality velcro and put new where the old was on the tube frame. it works amazing compared to the stock. I left the velcro on the door piece itself. Great Video

      Thanks. Good tip. I’ll try new Velcro.
      Glad you liked it.

    Look into the Only Generals roof peak filler, I see yours is warped like most end up, it will fix that right up, it also stops any wind from coming in there that can cause a whistle.

    I have the same machine with the factory upper doors. I just put the prongs that go into the the top of the door in a vice and pent them inward slightly. My upper doors fit very nice now. Tight seal. 👍👍👍👍

    We have a 2021 General XP4 1000. Another great perk of a General and RZR is cheaper insurance. It’s considered a work Utv while the rzr is a sport utv.

    • @OurLifeInTrees
      @OurLifeInTrees  9 месяцев назад

      That’s very true! My insurance really did go down with the General. Neither are very cheap though because I have them street legal. Sigh….

    Great review. We have a 2024 RZR razor XP 1000. We are older but I really wanted the speed. Or at least I thought I did. Well, as it turns out we’re gonna take a hit, but this is not the buggy for us. The three things I hate about it. You get so dusty. The dust comes in the cabin down by your legs and it just swirls around your face, we have to wear safety glasses or sunglasses anytime we ride and that includes even if we’re by ourselves. the other thing that is very annoying how we cannot have a conversation because it is so loud and that’s not fun. It is also extremely hot. we are trying to decide whether to get a general XP 1000 or an expedition ultimate. Both would be two seers from what I read there’s a lot of noise in the ultimate but that’s really what I would love to have. My husband wants the general XP 1000. I did read where you can switch the clutch out in the expedition and it helps with the sound I wish I knew someone who actually had one to verify that, I really appreciate your review. Thank you.

Watch the black slider on your shocks i had the same ones an i always cleaned the mud out but they rub a hole in shock body.. since then i had Custom Suspension out of Ky put new valve ing an single spring on my shocks omg the ride was way better than shock therapy set up...

    Your backup camera display at 8:45 ... its missing the "green" colors (it shows everything being very pink). I just bought a new '24 XP4 Ultimate... its doing the same thing. Are they all this way? Or does mine have a similar problem to yours. I've only had mine less than 2 weeks so still under warranty.
