Hey guys, I am a newb to this forum and really a newb to ATV’s. I had a Honda 125 when I was kid (I’m 35 now) and rode it all over the place but this is my first big boy ATV. I have been looking at Polaris ATV’s for quite some time and I wanted something that I could use for hunting and to play with off road. I do a decent amount of off roading in my Jeep and am pretty familiar with modifications (visual and functional) so I wanted to start a thread where I show the progression of my ATV. Plus if I get ready to sell the ATV in the future, I can show this to any potential buyer and let them see what has been done to the ATV and where it started.
I purchased a used (250 miles) 2015 Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 in Denton, TX just outside of Dallas. I live in Athens, Georgia but was able to pay someone to bring it to me after the purchase was final.
The first picture was one of the pictures the dealership had on their website.
The next two pictures are at my house after I gave her a good bath. Also, I installed a rear rack extender.
In the last picture you can see where I painted my exhaust pipe black with VHT Extreme high heat paint. This will get me by until I can afford to replace the exhaust.
