XP1K4 tire/wheel setup?

What tires and wheel combo/size is everyone running in the east coast on their 1k4’s? Please post pics of your setup. I had thought about 30" roctanes on HD5’s but have looked at the crackers too. Thanks!

Dirt or Paddles at Glamis??

I started out putting Haulers from Tim Kelly in Phoenix on. He swore up and down 26 inch were the ticket. I bought smooth on front and his 10 paddles 26.

I found out real quick there to small. I then tried to call him about getting 30s. He blew me off. Im not here to discuss my problems with Tim Kelly and his lack of customer support. So I sold them on Craigs list.

I then went to Utv inc and got shaved 30 inch mongrels and 30 in maxxis haulers from them. They were bigger then the 26 but not as big as other 30 tires out there that I have seen.

So ……….new years weekend on sat we decided to start at the flag poll and go to all the walls even the ones that were in the old closers.

Don’t get me wrong some of them are really steep. I had a hell of a time getting up them with 2 people in the car. I had other buddys with 2 seaters and 2 other turbo 2 seaters. The turbos went up pretty easy as did the the xp1 with stock tires aired down.
When I would sit at the bottom I could see were my tracks dug in more then the others. I tried airing down without much difference.

We had fun just running around and it dunes great.

So Im thinking of just running dirt tires aired down instead of paddles.

Anyone feel the same way??

I have 30 mongrels for the dirt but feal there to skinny for the dunes even aired down. I have method non bead locks.

Was thinking of selling all the tires and paddles and go with beadlocks and 30 inch dirt tires and air them way down.

Im looking for input on this. Im not looking for a vendor to just blow smoke at me. I want input from guys that are running dirt tires or changed to dirt from paddles.

Lets Talk Stock Suspension

I would like to hear what everyone is doing with their stock suspension. I have a XP4 1000 and added a cage, doors, roof rack and have the spare tire mounted on the roof rack. Ive noticed the car squats a little and I’m thinking about cranking my springs down a little to get a little more ride height out of it. I took it to superstition this weekend for the first time since I got everything done on the car. With 4 adults the car was riding way too low. With 2 adults I was having a blast, nice cooshy ride and VERY VERY rare did i feed the bottom of the suspension. If the car rode like this all the time i wouldn’t change a thing! I know its going to be hard to find that happy median from the car riding nice with 2 people to 4 people. But, bottom line, I need more ride height. I’m know everyone is going to say the RZR is under sprung and I need to weight it, re-spring it and have the valving done and all of that is in the works. What i am trying to accomplish is a band aid until I save up my ducklings to have that done. What have you done? What was the result? How much have you cranked down on the springs? How much additional ride height did you get? Did you notice a big difference? How was the ride when you had 2 adults compared to 4 adults? What kind of riding are you doing and where? These are some of the questions I have before I start "tinkering". I just looking to get some education from some people that have played around with this already. Thanks in advance and have a great weekend! – Shaun 🙂

Knob won’t turn on rear shocks

I can’t fix them. I took off knob, tried to get them to turn can’t do it. I am not sure what shock fade is but the ride doesn’t seem anything like it did before. I need this to be fixed. How and what do I do? Can they be fixed? I refuse to spend thousands of dollars on new shocks on a 30k machine. Im at roughly 30 k already and have had no problems with razor but I want ride quality. Guys please help me I am a newbie when it comes to being able to fix things but I am pretty handy just need to know what to do. Thanks as always. ED:sad:

2016 noise from rear suspension

Developed a loud occasional knock noise from the right rear of the car.
Seems to be after the suspension has been compressed, and is rebounding.
Doesn’t happen all the time , but when running hard in the woops I might hear the noise a couple times a minute.
Can’t see any obvious causes after visual inspection of the shocks,or sway bar area.
Car is a 2016 xp4 with less that 20 hours on it.

Any ideas?

Stumped in So Cal…….
