Here is a link from the Roll Cages section showing the construction of a XP 1000 flat top race style cage with doors, a roof, windshield, and rear sheet metal I am building for my sons XP for anyone who is interested. XP 1000 Roll Cage and door build – Polaris RZR Forum – RZR Forums.net
This past weekend we finished a cargo rack project for our 900XP 4
Combined parts of two different home made racks to make one.
What we built is something that makes the cargo area hold a lot more and serves as a spare tire carrier and Rotopax fuel cell holder.
Just a vision and some welding with a paint job. Spare tire will set on the top rack.
Want to use your xp900 box in your 1k? About 10 minutes with a cutting wheel and a welder made a simple bracket to catch the front holes in a 1k. You do have to re drill the rear rubber tie downs to align with the new 1k holes. I used 1/4 1.5 flat bar but that was way overkill.
Unfortunately, my beloved yeti roadie does not fit like it did with my old xp900.
I was using my iPhone 6, with a ram mount, mounted to the steering wheel shaft using Gaia-GPS as my navigation APP. It worked well but the old eyes aren’t what they used to be and needed something a little bigger. I followed a lot of posts using an iPad mini mounting it to the center flip down storage box cover. Nice but I already have an iPad Air 2 and didn’t want to buy another iPad.
I moved the center mirror to the left side to free up the center for the iPad, and actually I think I can see over the rear tire mount better than when it was in the center. I ended up putting the iPad in a Lifeproof Nuud cover it’s water resistant and will keep the Arizona dust out of the openings. I then ordered a 10’ lightning connector and fished it up the left side “A” pillar and ran the USB side into the hole in the bottom of the center storage box (actually I ran the lightning plug through the hole first then fished it up the pillar). For power I mounted a Blue Sea 1016 dual USB charger socket in the back of the box. I ran the power through a dash switch so I don’t have the charger on when it is not needed.
I used ram mounts and their expandable iPad holder. I only took it out for a short run it appears to hold the iPad well and I don’t anticipate any problems. Before I started the project I talked with RAM and asked them it the one-inch ball mount would hold the iPad securely with my application and was told it will work fine.
When I took the rock sliders off to modify them the expansion anchors stayed in the holes. There are flat sides on the anchors that have to align with the flat sides on the holes in the accessory being installed. The problem is getting them aligned to install the bolts. I realize that the captive nut in the expansion portion of the fastener does not always stay in place and falls into the tube. If that happens the best thing to do is pull the expansion portion out of the hole and use a magnet to fish the nut out of the tube, put the whole fastener back together and install them like the instructions show. My fasteners did not come apart and i was faced with the task of aligning the flat surfaces on the fastener with the flat surfaces of in this case the rock sliders. I realized it is harder that it appears because you cannot see the fastener to assure it is aligned with the hole. Here is my solution. I used a piece of all thread, the fastener is M8 1.25 metric but i found a piece of 5/16 18 will thread into the fastener just enough to twist it to align it to the hole. I cut the all thread long enough to stick out of the accessory being installed, pushed on the accessory while turning clockwise and pulling the all thread until it went into the hole on the accessory. I then put a fender washer on the end with a nut to hold the fastener in place while i did the same to the others. Once they were all in place, I gently removed each all thread and replaced it with the bolt being careful not to put too much pressure on the bolt so as not to dislodge the nut and loose it in the tube. If the captive nut falls off into the tube, this method will no longer work. I hope this helps a little because getting the fastener aligned with the hole is a PITA!!! Good Luck!
Hello, I have a 3d printer, and was wondering if anybody has any ideas I can print for my rzr 1000. So far I have printed a couple of GoPro mounts, and a fire extinguisher mount. Any other ideas?

I needed a way to haul my 1K after we got to our camping site in the toy-hauler, and to get to an area where we wanted to go on highway or through towns, with out having to bring along another trailer or renting one when we got there.
We have a 2007 Silverado Crew Cab short bed, so we replaced the bed with an aluminum flat bed and built an Extension-Rack which is mounted onto two additional receiver hitches that I added to the truck.
The rack unbolts and breaks down into 7 pieces that lay flat on the bed while we are traveling, and can then be mounted onto the truck and bolted together with ten 3/8" bolts.
A fold up set of ramps also lay on the bed for traveling. I’ll probably also add air bags, but it seems to ride pretty well right now.
When I get good at loading I’ll probably be backing it onto the truck. See the photo of it loaded forward.
Our friends needed to haul there XP900 and also built on of these using just the one regular receiver hitch and just one "L" bracket, he hauled all the way from eastern Ks to Moab and back which was about 950 miles one way.
Hi everyone, Last weekend I went riding with my 1000. Along the way I found a polaris hd 3500 winch laying in the middle of the trail. I tried hooking the battery from the rzr to the winch with jumper cables, but nothing happened.
