using Two Air Intakes at same time??

Still waiting for my ventracing donaldson air intake system to arrive. A plan question has popped up that I don’t have the experience and knowledge to answer. How about mounting the new air filter where the oem filter is now, then running ABS up to the left side of my 2011 800 s and mounting the oem filter as a prefilter. What I can’t figure is the air flow, will using two allow enuf air to enter the throttle body?? Pls help

Trail Armor Skids

I want to share my experience with Trail Armor out of Mississippi. First off, a big shout out to Nick and Allison for helping me out.

I ordered full UHMW 1/2" skids for my ’14 RZR 900 Stealth Black. These things are a beast compared to the skimpy factory skid. They bolted directly up with minor drilling.

Using them in the mud and rocks, the skids slide over everything. They work wonders compared to aluminum skids that I’ve used previously on quads.

On my 3rd ride out, I bent a rear axle on the RZR. Looking at the rear axles, I noticed wear marks on both axles at approximately 1/3 of the way down the axle. Once I jacked up the rear end and let the suspension fully extend, I could see the wear marks were from the axles coming in contact with the skid plate.

I let Trail Armor know the issue I was having. They promptly replied to my email and within days, had a XP 900 in their shop to conduct a mock-up. They concluded that the axle was close but not touching the skid. They took it a step further and tested it under extreme conditions (unbolting the shock and applying a downward force) and concluded that it was impossible for the axle to bend due to the skid since the skid would bend before the axle would. In the meantime, I notched out a piece of the skid to ensure proper clearance. I let Trail Amour know I notched the skid and they replied to let me know it was possible for the skid to fail due to the type of cuts I made. Trail Armor offered to send me a new rear skid that had slightly different geometry to clear the axle and also provided me with a 10% off coupon code.

It’s not often now-a-days for good customer support. This is a rare example of it! Thank you once again, Nick and Allison for helping me with this issue!

As most of you know, the axles on the XP 900 are a weak point. They probably bent due to impact from something…just not sure what!

Removing cv axle with slide hammer?

I have a 14 Rzr 1000. I have seen many posts on the best way to get the cup out of the diff is to use a slide hammer with a pilot bearing removal attachment. Can anyone tell me what size slide hammer is the best and what size pilot bearing removal attachment is best? Have some Amazon gift cards so I’m hoping to find a good kit on there but I have never used a slide hammer. Any help would be appreciated!!
