I know its been years but thank you for the video. This is by far the best video showing exactly what I wanted to see on the upgrades. I'm for sure going to upgrade mine now!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any help you can give me!
@Ashton Hugh I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
got a crew just like it... even same color!!! LOVE my ranger! thx for posting this. IT DOES feel like you're "popping a manual clutch" lol great upgrade, i'm sold
TW Kustoms...I know the General build was a while ago, but I've got a question for you. We've got an '18 ride command and under hard acceleration, I get a vibration (audible only, you can't feel it). It sound to be coming from under the right side of the box. I tried tightening the under bed heat shield. No luck. Did yours have any moans & groans under hard acceleration ?
No not really, but I know the box latch has been a noisy item on all the machines I've had. I would check that first before tearing anything else apart. Mine always squeaked, not really a vibration, and lubing up the latches where they hook to the frame would take care of it. Try that first before you dig into anything else. That might show more on wide open throttle since the frame tweaks a bit under power... good luck! :)
Drive ability seems just insane! Do you think I could get a similar kit for the General? Having the lower clutch engagement would be nice in the narrow stuff and plowing
Where you get your steering wheel from an did it bolt right up? Good vid cant wait to do this to my ranger did you buy a new ecm or send it in? An how was the installment easy?
Install was a piece of cake! Check out my other videos on the clutch and you will see. Subscribe of you haven't already and you'll see them in my channel. The steering wheel is a Grant GT. The adapter for the wheel is the same as an EZ-GO golf cart. Polaris runs the same splines.
Good video! I currently have a 2021 north star on order, would like to see you do a long term review on your machine now that this video is 2 years old, also are you happy with the gilomen tune and clutch kit? Do you recommend I purchase?
I have had excellent service out of the machine after the kit. Now keep in mind I don't flog it on a day to day basis, but I do use the power from time to time. I'm sure if you beat the machine hard every day, you would probably run into maintenance issues. I haven't run into any issues that would prevent me from doing this exact mod again. Very happy with my experience with it! And those are 28" x 12" x 14" Carlisle versa trail tires on 14 x 10 M21 Lok rims. Take care!
Thanks for the Videos. I installed the clutch kit and ECM and used your video as my primary reference to get me through. Have you considered side view mirrors? I just can't find any that will fit the 2018 Ranger 1000 Northstar. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks......
I haven't looked for any side mirrors for the new style so I'm not sure who would make some. Glad the videos helped on the install of the clutch though!
They have them for 2018 Ranger 1000XP.. Here's a link.. www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjsjfzsq7XeAhWJt8AKHfijDMEYABAJGgJpbQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEOD2dkatD0DyaUJtYvCqfjk&sig=AOD64_0_qBmlw4F2o9r7lkvlKska1Htgzg&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjQ8fTsq7XeAhWMylMKHaxiBSYQ9aACCGA&adurl=
I'm wanting to Gilomen kit, but still deciding what to get. Your top speed, (looking at the mph gauge) was about 72. I'm getting 65 mph using 93 octane. What are you using on octane in this video, and do you have the clutch kit?
Premium 92. Using the clutch kit. The speed in this video was with the full cab (less doors) and 28" x 12" wide tires going against the wind. But the machine will run out of gearing at about 78 turning about 8k rpm. Been there a couple times in good conditions. So in a nutshell, the ECM and Cluch kit take the machine to it potential and unless you start modding the engine, I dont really think theres much more to be gained. Take care!
Do you have same size wheels/tires on the front as the back? Wanting to do that to my ranger 1000. Just not sure if they'd fit and clear everything. Digging the look/stance of the wider on the front 👍
where did u get the clutch kit from and also the ECU, I just bought the camo 1000 2018 and the first thing I noticed is the clutch aggressiveness and I would also like to get the extra ponys ????
It looks like to me you got the Ranger with the heating and air conditioning, I'm thinking of getting one myself and really want to know if a full cab kit really keeps most of the dust out if you're riding in real Dusty conditions? Thanks
No AC. But has the heater. The new cab does a lot better job at keeping dust out but it still gets in noticeably. I think a little time in placing some foam seals under the seat would go a long way in cutting it down even more. That where most of it will enter. None of the cabs are air tight, but they didnt to too bad on this model. A little extra prep can go a long way on this Ranger. Ymmv, but it's a pretty good unit. Not perfect of course, but the closest Polaris came at this point... thanks!
I liked the General for power and trail riding, but I found I missed the bigger box and ease of getting in and out of it regularly. When I upgraded the Ranger, I have pretty much all the fun of the General with a little more work aspect. Just personal preference. The General was a great machine too!
Not sure on the Northstar. sorry. I added a bunch of aftermarket sound deadener to my unit which you might see if some of the videos. That is not factory.
Coming from an old Ranger 800, I love the engine breaking. I live around mountains and hills though. Really want to lift mine, but worried about voiding warranty. Did you just say the "heck" with it? IMO Polaris really did some nice upgrades, coming from that old 800.
Havingfun Afterfifty I made sure everything worked as it should before i did any upgrades. For the lift, if it wrecked the axles, which it shouldn't, I would upgrade them anyway.
Do you work this machine? I’m looking at this and the Textron Stampede X. I’ll be working it hard. Pulling small trees out. Out in the woods all the time. Doing lots of firewood. Loading the bed with wood and rocks dirt etc. any info would help. I posted on a different page and people bash these machines.
I've over loaded it at times and pulled loaded wagons way heavier than I should have. It hasn't given me any troubles to date but i also don't thrash it in these situations either. Always low range and easy on throttle. That being said, This machine and the prior 2 Rangers I've had impressed me. They did whatever I threw at them with great results and no big surprises. Like everything else, you mainly hear the bad things that happen since people like to go on the net and complain. With the thousands and thousands of these machines sold, you will hear a few complaints here and there, but the percentage is very low. I think they do a good job for the situations these machines get put into.
If you change the clutch operation, you will have to change the ecm parameters to match so it doesn't throw codes. Otherwise the ecm will think the belt is slipping and trigger limp mode. There's a certain tolerance built into the ecm for this so it "may" not trigger the codes. Give Terry a call at Gilomen innovations, he will be able to tell you for sure. :)
Is the 1000 eps a suitable trail rider? Especially on long flat rail trails? Also..wondering when one would start to need work done to it, I’m talking about miles put on the engine.
Its an excellent trail rider for flat to intermediate trails. If you get into jumps and stuff, then you should be RZR, or General for a 50/50 mix between the Ranger and RZR. I had a General before this and that handled the bumps a little better if you were running fast. But as for the engine, if you take care of the air filter and do your oil changes regularly, I haven't seen anyone really diving into the engine for thousands of miles. There are a couple 900s running around me at 6500 and 8000 miles, still running great and they trail ride far more than I do.. The 1000s are a little to new for that king of miles to be seen around here yet, but I don't think there will be any probs that I can see. Of course if its flogged day in and day out, that would probably have an ill effect.
TW Kustoms thank you for the info. It’s a 2020 and in the last month it’s had 1000 miles out on it. Averaging around 25mph. And I think it’ll see an average of 750 miles per month. So I was worried it’d get run down faster than we’d want to see. How often do you suggest air filter maintenance? Lots of dust/silt on these rail trails.
@@Forestwalker111 I've seen guys in excess of 10000 miles on these things so its possible. On the air filter in dusty conditions, I would check it monthly at the very least. If it has a prefilter over the element, then wash that. Do not use compressed air to blow out the main filter. Even though that may look like it cleans it, it actually opens the filter media up letting dust in the next time its used. If you want to lightly tap the ends of the filter, not directly on the media, you can shake off the bulk of the dust. Always best to replace the filter, but that can get expensive. If there is no pre filter over your main filter, you could look at getting one that fits. If will help prolong the main filter.
I would like to see what the clutch mod is, I've been working on these professionally for 20 years and I've never seen such smooth clutch engagement, that is impressive!
Jerry Nix subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. I have a video showing the clutch kit install. It's really nothing more than the proper weights and spring in the primary clutch. :)
Did you have a metallic clunk when taking off before the upgrades? I just ordered this kit and hopes it helps or gets rid of that stupid clunk. It’s embarrassing.
Yeah the engagement is set pretty aggressive on the factory setting. While this is 'technically' better for less belt slip, it's kinda like "popping" the clutch on manual transmission vehicle if that makes sense. The clunk you hear it the slack in the driveline tightening up under power. This setup engages less aggressively and more progressively. Mine doesn't make the clunk on take off at all. Ymmv. 👍
@@Longslyde1 had any problems with the Gilomen clutch/tune??? Any problems shifting into and out of gear? Would you do it again if you bought a new machine? Thanks.
Thanks! :) You will have to order them custom. They will not have these as a package because they think it doesnt work or not recommended. I've had no problems whatsoever. I got mine from KJ Motorsport, but I'm sure you can find them other places as well. They are 14x10 M21 Lok wheels (5+5 offset) with 28x12 x14 Carlisle Versa Trail ATR tires.
you think I will void m y warranty on my 2020 XP100 crew backcountry? I ordered the brand new eco so I can swap the stock and mod in and out as needed.
I haven't heard of anyone running into engine issues with the program yet since it is really just taking it to where the General runs at. But that doesn't mean you couldn't run into issues like snapping a drive shaft or similiar. If you're contemplating any mods to your machine, you should accept that there is some inherent warranty risk. They still have to prove the mod caused the issue, but in the case of the engine, IF THE MODDED ECU IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED ;), then they could easily deny warranty on that. Bottom line is, if you're going to run the 100hp setting and thrash the machine constantly, you will have repairs to do along the way. Just use common sense and you'll be fine. I haven't run into any problems so far on mine either, but I'm easier on the throttle in rough or slippery conditions where "shock load" could happen, so that helps a lot im sure.
Hey man love the videos, really has been helping me alot, one thing I called my performance shop about is hearing about the turf mode gear breaking, the performance shops correction for this is the razors gearing, kind of eliminates the turf mode issue. Reason I'm asking is they told me if I wanted to buy larger tires that was the major issue.
Larger tires will have more leverage when you have it "locked" mode which can cause the broken carrier. If it's in turf mode and you're not beating on the machine, it would be fine. But to strengthen the rear end a bit, yeah you would ha e to go to a spooled rear end like the RZR. Your lawn will suffer but the is the trade off ;)
@@Derekj-gv2cp Personally I like the 28"s myself. Staying closer to stock height doesn't take too much power away and these particular tires dont weigh much more than stock which helps too. I had some Sedona ripsaws on the General I had and they were really heavy. You could really feel the power loss in those.
thank you for the feedback, I just bought a camo edition 1000xp 2018 Wednesday and your videos and feedback are a great guide for us guys just getting into the "addiction" lol. keep the videos coming please, thanks again.
also did the 3in highlifter bracket lift void your warranty?, I called my dealer about it here and they said anything over 2in lift and 2 tire sizes will void it.
I've had some noise from multiple machines I've had. Most of the time it's the front driveshaft. They may tell you it's normal but it doesn't hurt to point it out and see what the dealer says. Have to complain a bit to get Polaris to address the issues for what they get for there machine nowadays lol!
If you're referring to smoother control similar to how it acts in forward gears, then yes it acts the same in reverse and is very controllable. The clutch engages the same in forward or reverse. :)
TW kustoms Thanks for your videos. how is the engine breaking. I had a Duraclutch on a past ranger but I had to be careful when letting off the gas to keep from getting wipe last and sending the dog into the floor second question. how noticeable was the extra 20 HP? thanks and keep up the good videos.
They did a better job on the engine braking this round. Not quite as aggressive but pretty noticable. I hate engine braking myself but I can "live" with this level if nothing come out to eliminate it. The 28" tires help lessen the braking also. As for the 20hp, it is very noticeable. With the 3 level switch you can feel the differences. STD and work mode are stock 82hp, when you flip it to perf mode, she comes to life. Just a note, if you're not in perf mode and you flip it on the fly with the throttle engaged, it will not switch power until you let off the throttle once then get back into it. You WILL feel the difference lol. The ECM upgrade is the single biggest upgrade you can do to the machine. And I think the best, but to each, their own...
Thanks! I really appreciate that, but no, I don't get any credit for promoting his product. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. But if you call Terry @ Gilomen, let him know I put a good word in for him here on You Tube. Maybe I'll get a thumbs up from him at least lol! Take care! ;)
No noticable difference while driving. You can tell the power steering has to work more when trying to turn the wheel while standing still. Not terrible but it's there.
That actually a knob for the old style ranger. It technically does not fit the new style. I modified the shift lever for it to fit. It was off of Ebay. Billet aluminum.
The steering wheel is right out of Grant's website. You pick just about any wheel, then get the installation kit for a EZ-GO golf cart. That is the same as the Ranger. As for the LED light, do you mean a light bar? I already have 2 on there as well as led headlights and strobes. Do you mean you want to see how to wire up a light bar to the Pulse bar?
@@lukepoirier5282 I do have a series on installing the strobes and make them operate as turn signals. If you join my channel, you will see it as a 5 part series. It's on a 2017 Polaris General, but the wiring will be virtually the same.
They are 14x10 M21 Lok Wheels with 28" x 12"x14" Carlisle Versa Trail Tires on them. Just keep in mind it does make your machine a bit wider so if you have trails with width restrictions, you "may" have an issue. I haven't run into a problem yet myself. Take care!
TW Kustoms wide is why I was lookin for. Looks good and performs great. My sportsman sits way wide. The cool thing is it will be the machine helping build my trails. ✊ thank you sir.
I just did the ECU and Clutch Kit upgrade on this one. Cost depends on whether you due a new ecm or just have yours modified. $500-$900 range. I have not done the latest kit Gilomen has out. So this kit is not much louder than stock, the only noise increase is due to the increased RPM of the engine, still on stock muffler. I would like to try out the full cam and exhaust upgrade but unless Terry is willing to donate one for review, I'll have to wait for a while LOL! ;)
@@jamesatkins8821 Nice! I think you'll like the machine. I've had a bunch and Polaris did a pretty good job overall on this model. Nothings perfect, but this is the closest they got so far...lol!
@@Longslyde1 I just did the G5 upgrade with adjustable pri clutch weights. I have a HMF slip on pipe. Oh does it turn on hard. Very loud on the exhaust. Running 71g on the weights and turning 7200 rpm. Next adjustment will be around 67-68 g. Looking for about 7500-7600 rpm. Starting clutch in is about 200 rpm above idle, real nice and smooth. 2019 Polaris Ranger xp 1000 20th Anniversary edition.
It's an effect the camera pics up. The green light is a led so depending on the frame rate of the camera it will make the light flicker. It does not do that to the naked eye...
@@Longslyde1 ya I noticed because I upgraded from a 900 XP to 1000 XP and I noticed that the 900 had more torque in the 1000 but the 1000 TopSpeed is like way higher
@@caydennszewczyk4195 yep I think the 1000XP have a little taller gear ratio making them faster but takes a bit of the grunt away. Tire size will affect it too.. With the programmer and clutch kit, this will do about 80mph on a still day.
@@myself7630 It pulls great in the Performance mode but I would recommend keeping it in the standard mode for heavier trailers as performance mode is powerful enough to potentially cause undue wear imo. But if you use the the throttle respectfully, you shouldn't have any issues... I haven't to date myself. 👍
You can see in parts of the video that they stick out a bit. I'd say it increased the width of the Machine 3 to 4 inches. It's tight on gated trails but I haven't had any issues with any yet.
@@fluffyracing just took a quick measurement across the front. It come in about 65"- maybe 66" on the outside fattest part of the tire. Hard to hold the tape measure exact by myself. Hope thats close enough for ya though...
I'm about done with my Honda P1K-3. I had a 2015 Ranger 570 midsize and it never gave me a minute's trouble and I loved the ride. My Honda literally needs a repair of some sort every 3 days of use. Between clutch problems, broken muffler welds, crappy wiring harnesses etc etc etc, and a ride like an unsprung wagon, I'm going back to Polaris. Gonna get a Ranger 1000 with the upgrades shown in this video! Nice!!!
Don Staggs 68 mph with 82 hp with ecubso nope it will slowly run away And gears transfer energy better so its just as fast i raced a stock xp and beat it pretty good.
No way a clutched 100hp ranger would lose to a gutless 72 hp Honda. Hondas have no power. Let's see some racing. I would also like to see how the new ranger runs up against the new Can-Am Defender.
joeboi1186 I ended up getting them from KJ Motorsport online. Those are the Carlisle Versa Trail ATR in 28" x 12" x 14". The rims are M21 Lok 14" x 10" wide.
Nice..im jus wondering brcause i jus picked me up a 2018 just in the pursuit model and was wondern what i could do a little bit to change from the stock clutch and tires and rims setup for a litto bit more beefer but yet smooth controling and i gotta say i think ur setups pretty badass
Thanks! You will definitely like the clutch kit. I have another video in my channel that shows the installation. Polaris finally did a nice job on the clutches. It's a "cake walk" now to work on them.
I know its been years but thank you for the video. This is by far the best video showing exactly what I wanted to see on the upgrades. I'm for sure going to upgrade mine now!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
100% agree, glad I found this video. I don’t care about popping a wheelie I just want to be able to creep up my trailer lol.
This seems like an awesome upgrade for the Ranger. Looks like it really takes the jerk out too. Thanks for sharing.

Joe Oxner I wouldn't mind living out there myself! Lol
That is a great upgrade. I hate the way mine jumps when I try to ease it. Especially when loading on a trailer. Thanks
That will take care of it! ;)
Wow, these new 1000s can move!
They go pretty good with the right mods!
I need that. Like your wheels too

great video, I notice you have a tip out windshield is that a Polaris or aftermarket?
Polaris.
Hey man just curious did you have to change your A arms stock to the offset ones to fit those tires?
joeboi1186 No. The new style ranger claim they could take up to 29 or 30" without a-arms. These are 28"x12" and I still have plenty of room to go.

There are a couple 900s running around me at 6500 and 8000 miles, still running great and they trail ride far more than I do.. The 1000s are a little to new for that king of miles to be seen around here yet, but I don't think there will be any probs that I can see.
Of course if its flogged day in and day out, that would probably have an ill effect.
TW Kustoms thank you for the info. It’s a 2020 and in the last month it’s had 1000 miles out on it. Averaging around 25mph. And I think it’ll see an average of 750 miles per month. So I was worried it’d get run down faster than we’d want to see. How often do you suggest air filter maintenance? Lots of dust/silt on these rail trails.
@@Forestwalker111 I've seen guys in excess of 10000 miles on these things so its possible.
On the air filter in dusty conditions, I would check it monthly at the very least. If it has a prefilter over the element, then wash that. Do not use compressed air to blow out the main filter. Even though that may look like it cleans it, it actually opens the filter media up letting dust in the next time its used. If you want to lightly tap the ends of the filter, not directly on the media, you can shake off the bulk of the dust. Always best to replace the filter, but that can get expensive. If there is no pre filter over your main filter, you could look at getting one that fits. If will help prolong the main filter.
TW Kustoms that’s great! Can’t thank you enough!!!
TW Kustoms one last question actually..how often would you change the oil? Either miles or engine hours?
I would like to see what the clutch mod is, I've been working on these professionally for 20 years and I've never seen such smooth clutch engagement, that is impressive!
Jerry Nix subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. I have a video showing the clutch kit install. It's really nothing more than the proper weights and spring in the primary clutch. :)
What heater is that? Round vents look like Ice Crusher but the controls look like factory Polaris.
All factory Polaris.
Did you have a metallic clunk when taking off before the upgrades? I just ordered this kit and hopes it helps or gets rid of that stupid clunk. It’s embarrassing.
Yeah the engagement is set pretty aggressive on the factory setting. While this is 'technically' better for less belt slip, it's kinda like "popping" the clutch on manual transmission vehicle if that makes sense. The clunk you hear it the slack in the driveline tightening up under power. This setup engages less aggressively and more progressively. Mine doesn't make the clunk on take off at all. Ymmv. 👍
Do you remember what your Ranger ran for RPM'S in stock mode vs the tune/clutch kit?
64-6500rpm stock if I recall correctly...
@@Longslyde1 had any problems with the Gilomen clutch/tune??? Any problems shifting into and out of gear? Would you do it again if you bought a new machine? Thanks.
@@fullthrottle2656 none whatsoever. Works like it should have from the factory in my opinion. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Can you give the link to the wheel package. Can not find the tires
Looks great!!
Thanks! :) You will have to order them custom. They will not have these as a package because they think it doesnt work or not recommended. I've had no problems whatsoever.
I got mine from KJ Motorsport, but I'm sure you can find them other places as well. They are 14x10 M21 Lok wheels (5+5 offset) with 28x12 x14 Carlisle Versa Trail ATR tires.
you think I will void m y warranty on my 2020 XP100 crew backcountry? I ordered the brand new eco so I can swap the stock and mod in and out as needed.
I haven't heard of anyone running into engine issues with the program yet since it is really just taking it to where the General runs at. But that doesn't mean you couldn't run into issues like snapping a drive shaft or similiar. If you're contemplating any mods to your machine, you should accept that there is some inherent warranty risk. They still have to prove the mod caused the issue, but in the case of the engine, IF THE MODDED ECU IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED ;), then they could easily deny warranty on that. Bottom line is, if you're going to run the 100hp setting and thrash the machine constantly, you will have repairs to do along the way. Just use common sense and you'll be fine. I haven't run into any problems so far on mine either, but I'm easier on the throttle in rough or slippery conditions where "shock load" could happen, so that helps a lot im sure.
TW Kustoms I really appreciate the reply! Agreed if I sent in the stock ECU to be tuned, I would be hosed if I needed to make a claim. Thanks again!!
Hey man love the videos, really has been helping me alot, one thing I called my performance shop about is hearing about the turf mode gear breaking, the performance shops correction for this is the razors gearing, kind of eliminates the turf mode issue. Reason I'm asking is they told me if I wanted to buy larger tires that was the major issue.
Larger tires will have more leverage when you have it "locked" mode which can cause the broken carrier. If it's in turf mode and you're not beating on the machine, it would be fine. But to strengthen the rear end a bit, yeah you would ha e to go to a spooled rear end like the RZR. Your lawn will suffer but the is the trade off ;)
do you like the 28 in tires or now that you've driven around for a bit would you have gotten 29s ?
@@Derekj-gv2cp Personally I like the 28"s myself. Staying closer to stock height doesn't take too much power away and these particular tires dont weigh much more than stock which helps too. I had some Sedona ripsaws on the General I had and they were really heavy. You could really feel the power loss in those.
thank you for the feedback, I just bought a camo edition 1000xp 2018 Wednesday and your videos and feedback are a great guide for us guys just getting into the "addiction" lol. keep the videos coming please, thanks again.
also did the 3in highlifter bracket lift void your warranty?, I called my dealer about it here and they said anything over 2in lift and 2 tire sizes will void it.
I just took delivery today, seems to have a noise coming from the front differential, more noticeable on the road. Heard of any issues like that
I've had some noise from multiple machines I've had. Most of the time it's the front driveshaft. They may tell you it's normal but it doesn't hurt to point it out and see what the dealer says. Have to complain a bit to get Polaris to address the issues for what they get for there machine nowadays lol!
@@Longslyde1 and that's exactly what it sounds like, front drive shaft issues, thanks tw for the help
Does the Clutch Kit improve the Reverse drivability?
If you're referring to smoother control similar to how it acts in forward gears, then yes it acts the same in reverse and is very controllable. The clutch engages the same in forward or reverse. :)
TW kustoms Thanks for your videos. how is the engine breaking. I had a Duraclutch on a past ranger but I had to be careful when letting off the gas to keep from getting wipe last and sending the dog into the floor
second question. how noticeable was the extra 20 HP? thanks and keep up the good videos.
They did a better job on the engine braking this round. Not quite as aggressive but pretty noticable. I hate engine braking myself but I can "live" with this level if nothing come out to eliminate it. The 28" tires help lessen the braking also.
As for the 20hp, it is very noticeable. With the 3 level switch you can feel the differences. STD and work mode are stock 82hp, when you flip it to perf mode, she comes to life. Just a note, if you're not in perf mode and you flip it on the fly with the throttle engaged, it will not switch power until you let off the throttle once then get back into it. You WILL feel the difference lol. The ECM upgrade is the single biggest upgrade you can do to the machine. And I think the best, but to each, their own...
nice thanks for the info. is there a link i should use for you to get credit?
Thanks! I really appreciate that, but no, I don't get any credit for promoting his product. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. But if you call Terry @ Gilomen, let him know I put a good word in for him here on You Tube. Maybe I'll get a thumbs up from him at least lol! Take care! ;)
How is your ranger holding on? Just thinking of ordering one myself..
No issues here. Its been a great machine for me.
That thing runs a lot cooler compared to my general it runs between 195 and 207
I really like your wheels and tires , can u tell me what make they r pls Tks.
Howard Miller tires are Carlisle Versa Trail ATR 28"x12"x14". Rims are MSA M21 Lok in 14"x10".
TW Kustoms thank you for taking the time to help me .
No prob! Anytime! :)
@tw kustoms would like to know the info of the wheels you have. I like the offset they have.
They are M21 Lok Wheels in 14x10". 5+5 offset. 28x12x14 Carlisle Versa-trail ATR Tires. :)
Thank ya. I just bought a new Highlifter. Need to add width and don’t like spacers.
Are those rims 14x10? And name of tires and size? Killer rig dude
Thanks! Yes 14x10 rims with 28x12x14 Carlisle Versa Trail ATR tires.
How does it handle with the bigger tires on the front..off road..
No noticable difference while driving. You can tell the power steering has to work more when trying to turn the wheel while standing still. Not terrible but it's there.
Where did you get the shifter knob?
That actually a knob for the old style ranger. It technically does not fit the new style. I modified the shift lever for it to fit. It was off of Ebay. Billet aluminum.
Where did you get that shifter handle at?
Its actually for the old style shifter modified to fit the new ranger. You can just Google bullet shifter handle for Polaris Ranger.
Where can I get that steering wheel. Also when are you going to install an
LED light ?
The steering wheel is right out of Grant's website. You pick just about any wheel, then get the installation kit for a EZ-GO golf cart. That is the same as the Ranger.
As for the LED light, do you mean a light bar? I already have 2 on there as well as led headlights and strobes. Do you mean you want to see how to wire up a light bar to the Pulse bar?
@@Longslyde1 yes, could you make a video of how you wired up all your lights, that would be awesome.
@@lukepoirier5282 I do have a series on installing the strobes and make them operate as turn signals. If you join my channel, you will see it as a 5 part series. It's on a 2017 Polaris General, but the wiring will be virtually the same.
If you could could you give me the specs on the wheel and tire size. Love the offset on the wheels
They are 14x10 M21 Lok Wheels with 28" x 12"x14" Carlisle Versa Trail Tires on them. Just keep in mind it does make your machine a bit wider so if you have trails with width restrictions, you "may" have an issue. I haven't run into a problem yet myself. Take care!
TW Kustoms wide is why I was lookin for. Looks good and performs great. My sportsman sits way wide. The cool thing is it will be the machine helping build my trails. ✊ thank you sir.
Why does the green MPH light in the speedo flicker on and off while you drive?
Just a camera effect. It doesnt do that in person...led light.
@@Longslyde1 10-4. Any issues with the heater operations and the new tune?
@@billwolfe9176 absolutely Zero issues those far. Put on about 900 miles since mods done. Machine had about 50 miles on it when I did mods.
Jedzie tym pojazdem jak Steve Wonder
Now all we need is a road biased one so I can daily it like an old school 4x4 but economical.
Yep! ...but wouldn't that be a Jeep? ;) :D
@@Longslyde1 more or less just not as big and expensive or complicated
@@dunbar837 not sure which is more expensive now. Lol!
What does the kit cost and how much loader is it than stock
I just did the ECU and Clutch Kit upgrade on this one. Cost depends on whether you due a new ecm or just have yours modified. $500-$900 range.
I have not done the latest kit Gilomen has out. So this kit is not much louder than stock, the only noise increase is due to the increased RPM of the engine, still on stock muffler.
I would like to try out the full cam and exhaust upgrade but unless Terry is willing to donate one for review, I'll have to wait for a while LOL! ;)
Thank you for the information it was. Dry helpful I am going to buy one just like yours and go all out with it.
@@jamesatkins8821 Nice! I think you'll like the machine. I've had a bunch and Polaris did a pretty good job overall on this model. Nothings perfect, but this is the closest they got so far...lol!
@@Longslyde1 I just did the G5 upgrade with adjustable pri clutch weights. I have a HMF slip on pipe. Oh does it turn on hard. Very loud on the exhaust. Running 71g on the weights and turning 7200 rpm. Next adjustment will be around 67-68 g. Looking for about 7500-7600 rpm. Starting clutch in is about 200 rpm above idle, real nice and smooth. 2019 Polaris Ranger xp 1000 20th Anniversary edition.
@@moby271 nice!
Why does the green light on ur dash keep flashing?
It's an effect the camera pics up. The green light is a led so depending on the frame rate of the camera it will make the light flicker. It does not do that to the naked eye...
is there more torque then stock
Yes. Noticeably!
@@Longslyde1 ya I noticed because I upgraded from a 900 XP to 1000 XP and I noticed that the 900 had more torque in the 1000 but the 1000 TopSpeed is like way higher
@@caydennszewczyk4195 yep I think the 1000XP have a little taller gear ratio making them faster but takes a bit of the grunt away. Tire size will affect it too.. With the programmer and clutch kit, this will do about 80mph on a still day.
What rims are they
MSA M21 Lok 14 x 10.
@@Longslyde1 what's the offset I like them
@@NCMATT 5 + 5 offset or basically "centered"
How's it pull ?
It puts ya in the seat NOTICIBLY better than stock. Should be how these came from factory in my opinion lol...
@@Longslyde1 I was meaning trailer. I want a good upgrade. I plan on overlanding with mine and I'll have a small trailer on back.
@@myself7630 It pulls great in the Performance mode but I would recommend keeping it in the standard mode for heavier trailers as performance mode is powerful enough to potentially cause undue wear imo. But if you use the the throttle respectfully, you shouldn't have any issues... I haven't to date myself. 👍
Awesome thank you
How far do they stick out
You can see in parts of the video that they stick out a bit. I'd say it increased the width of the Machine 3 to 4 inches. It's tight on gated trails but I haven't had any issues with any yet.
That’s what I want more width. For stability in the trails and hills
And is that 3-4 inches each side or overall
@@fluffyracing just took a quick measurement across the front. It come in about 65"- maybe 66" on the outside fattest part of the tire. Hard to hold the tape measure exact by myself. Hope thats close enough for ya though...
Man thank you I really appreciate that 😎
All the money it costs for this machine, and you need to upgrade it for it to work properly? I guess I'll stick with my low HP Honda's.
Tony B that's the excuse I give. It works fine the way it iwas, I just like to modify things better than they were. Lol. ;)
TW Kustoms I understand. Still tho, i think I'll stick to the Honda's.
I'm about done with my Honda P1K-3. I had a 2015 Ranger 570 midsize and it never gave me a minute's trouble and I loved the ride. My Honda literally needs a repair of some sort every 3 days of use. Between clutch problems, broken muffler welds, crappy wiring harnesses etc etc etc, and a ride like an unsprung wagon, I'm going back to Polaris. Gonna get a Ranger 1000 with the upgrades shown in this video! Nice!!!
@@silverado-vt1fp thanks!
@@silverado-vt1fp I haven't had to many problems yet with my Honda's but I don't have one of there sxs's.
Slow as shit. Honda 6 speed is better.
Lol! To each their own! ;) Have a good one!
Honda would be left in the dust!
Don Staggs 68 mph with 82 hp with ecubso nope it will slowly run away And gears transfer energy better so its just as fast i raced a stock xp and beat it pretty good.
No way a clutched 100hp ranger would lose to a gutless 72 hp Honda. Hondas have no power.
Let's see some racing. I would also like to see how the new ranger runs up against the new Can-Am Defender.
My buddy thought his Pioneer was fast until he rode in my tuned RZR Turbo, lol. Was quiet humbling for him!
Nice ride...were did u get those tires and rims from?
joeboi1186 I ended up getting them from KJ Motorsport online. Those are the Carlisle Versa Trail ATR in 28" x 12" x 14". The rims are M21 Lok 14" x 10" wide.
Nice setup
Nice..im jus wondering brcause i jus picked me up a 2018 just in the pursuit model and was wondern what i could do a little bit to change from the stock clutch and tires and rims setup for a litto bit more beefer but yet smooth controling and i gotta say i think ur setups pretty badass
Thanks! You will definitely like the clutch kit. I have another video in my channel that shows the installation. Polaris finally did a nice job on the clutches. It's a "cake walk" now to work on them.
