    Can't remember if I mentioned it or not but we're still breaking in my brother-in-law's RZR the weekend of the 5th-7th.

    Of course if you'd rather avoid any association with side by sides.... completely understandable

    That fancy smancy Limited X- REAS suspension does not seem to be very durable. There are a enough comments over on 4R Forum about it. 60k seems to be the magic number for leaks to rear their ugly head. You'll be getting a new suspension soon enough.

    Need video of the jump.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Yeah, I have been doing the responsible thing and not replacing it till it goes bad which is not fun but it makes sense financially lol.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    BAMF still has some Pelfreybuilt high clearance rears if you want some beef to weld on

    XREAS was a good idea.... Good idea to completely delete it once it starts leaking :rofl:

    I can follow that logic, quite understandable.











    Of course, you can always take the prevention angle. Prevent your xreas from leaking by replacing it with regular shocks.

    "Only 1 left in stock" I'm not falling for that shit. :rofl:

    I was turned away from those because I was reading somewhere's on here, there weren't really full kits and guys were getting sent random bumper pcs.

    Not sure if it was BAMF or some other vendor but I don't fuk with that funny business.

    Very good price and free shipping, though...

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I had a problem with him when I bought my DIY slider kit. I got 2 front braces for the left slider and no right brace. I emailed right away and was blown off...'can't you just make it fit?' I made it fit. I'm the only one that knows what's wrong. It works. But that's not the point.

    When he first posted the thread selling the Pelfreybuilt bumper kits, I asked him if people would get full kits with the correct parts and he got real indignant. He blamed me for getting blown off. For as much as I like his product, I will never spend another penny on his products...especially if it's not his product that he's trying to re-sell, product that you can't get replacement parts for if something is missing.

    Yeah and that's similar to what the bumper guys were saying. Getting 2 right plates and no left or no plates at all.
    I prefer not to get tangled up with those type of places..
