I have found something I can not stand about my RZR. If you need to take the plugs out on the trail (oh let say you got water in the cylinder) you have to take the stupid bed off. What a pain when everyone is waiting on you. Took me about an hour. That is a horrible design flaw. Just an update for people thinking about them. I will have some interesting pictures of a RZR bed on a RHINO LOL

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

now that you know how to take the bed off you should snorkle that thing so you dont have to worry about it again  |

I have 60 hours on it now. No issues but I am starting to hear a clicking noise from the front end when I turn not loud just enough to hear. I have checked all the bolts I know of and greased all the fittings and still have a little click once and a while. I have read a LONG post on the RZR forum about this issue and what I got from that is I may have to grease my CV's or tighten my axle nut a few turns. Also my exhaust is now glowing cherry red (maybe I just now noticed) I have been reassured by many people that is normal. But so far so good, just got to watch those deep holes.

a buddy of mine bought one and has about 400miles on it only and has had no problems so far, he definitely has not babied either, they are a really cool machine and now that the 09 are coming out they have made some better improvements to it including to the airbox.

I was going to say something about it being a Polaris, but my friends is still running and performing great. It's been through a lot.
Unlike his Predator that cannot seem to stay out of the shop. LOL! I think he's paid for that quad three times over! LOL!
I was reading your post and thought maybe you could modify the bed somehow with a door so you could get your hand and a socket down there?
Definitely seal it and snorkel it!

I have certinly been thinking about a way to cut in an access door so you can get to the plugs.

My only complaint is it sits to low and bottoms out alot.I will be investing in a lift kit soon and that will take care of this issue.
Also i bought a snorkel kilt from ebay for 150$ and after looking at it you are better off going to home depot for the parts.
You wont have 50 $ into the whole project.

It is low though I think the ground clearance is good BUT the wheel base is longer so I get hung up sometimes where 4 wheelers don't. Have you disconnected the sway bar in front? You will get about 6 more inches of "drop" on your front tires. If you do disconnect them you have a bolt on top (sway bar) and on the bottom (shock) All you have to do is swap bolts top to bottom so the shock bolt isn't too long.

Well depending on what size pvc you use with 2" it was more like $70-80 after you bought all the couplers and vent hose

You dont have to take the bed off to change the plugs. Take the seats out and remove the cover in front of the belt and the plugs are right there. Ten min tops........
