Essential upgrades on 900 trail

We are considering buying a 900 trail EPS, as a owner of a 11 800 standard I know there are inadequate pieces on the new rig. Help me configure a budget, what do I need to purchase for rocky mountain trail riding?

Based on the knowledge of my 11 800, do I need to upgrade the following?
Skid plates
dash block off kit
fuel tank skid plate
tires
air box/filter
shocks & springs

3rd brake light

Ive been reading about negative switches, 4 pole relays, getting wiring blessed by a pope, all kinds of stuff to hook up a 3rd brake light. I went out and tested my wires on the 50". There are 4 wires on the plug for the rear lights.

Brown-ground
orange w/ brown trace – test positive when brake is pressed
orange – test positive when brake is pressed
red w/ yellow trace – key on hot (running lights?)

I hooked an LED strip to brown (ground) and orange (positive) and the LED strip lit up brightly when the brakes were applied and turned off like it should.

Further inspection I noticed that although there are 4 wires at the rear plug, there are only 3 wires at the rear bulb. I found that the orange w/ brown trace turns into an orange w/ white trace and goes to the right side while orange stays orange and goes left.

So here is my updated wiring description
Brown-ground
orange w/ brown trace – right brake light (turns into orange w/ white trace)
orange – left brake light
red w/ yellow trace – key on positive (running lights?)

So it would seem that if you want to run a 3rd brake light its as simple as tapping into one of the orange wires. Can anyone confirm this?

Camo or White

Hey everyone. i found out the hard way on my quad that buying black is a big no no. i use it alot for hunting and with the tight trials here in the northeast the scratches show everywhere. My question is whats better for hiding the scratches better. The white or camo. thanks.

2015 RZR 900 Trail – Chick…err Dude magnet

I just thought I would post to see if anyone else has had this come up. Last May I bought a brand new Brute Force 750. Granted, not much has changed on the Brutes over the past few years, but I hardly had anyone ask me questions or inquire about the Brute.

I traded the Brute and bought a 15 900 trail this past winter. Now I can hardly keep people away from it, looking it over inspecting all the parts. I think it is really funny, I don’t mind answering questions and showing it off a bit. It has just surprised me. I think it is really funny that almost every conversation there is the question "I don’t mean to offend, and you don’t have to tell me, but what does something like this set you back?"
