Somebody said something about having posts in almost all forums so I wanted to contribute.
I'll do a build thread and post pictures later but here are the details.
2008 RZR 800.
Lonestar +8 long travel kit- changed from 50" wide to 70" and to 16" of travel.
Upgraded to Turner axles and CV's.
Upgraded to Elka fully adjustable Stage 4 shocks.
4,000lb winch
Clutch kit and programmer
Muzzy dual SS exhaust.
Custom roof (thanks clyde)
Suicide doors
3pt racing Harnesses
ITP 15" rims with 30" BFG KM2's (soon to be cut)
Inner Air internal beadlocks
Modified roll cage
Full UHMW 1/2 skids and nerfs
Stereo
CB
Rigid Industries LED lights
Full size Hi-Lift Jack and mounts
Dual Battery system

Thats the majorstuff but a few other small things. I don't have the 900cc engine but my suspension system is the best money can buy and I can crawl with the best of them.

Rented one in Jamaica and had a blast! They got mad at me for trying the hardest lines on our ride. LOL

Ok, Here are the basic details. As stated above I started with a bone stock 800 RZR and researched to find the best possible suspension set up sold. Once I decided the direction I wanted to take I took the RZR to Clyde (Spyder Offroad) and told him where I wanted to start. Parts were ordered and build began.

As you can see the original build started with some old bias co-op mudders. Worked ok but too stiff to flex.
Clyde added a custom top and a really cool 7 slot grill for cooling.

Added a 4,000lb winch, dual battery switch and the Rigid Industries LED's.

Finally started putting all the finishing touches. I think my best addition was going with the Inner Air Locks with the radial KM2's. Gives me great flex, traction and the air locks work as a run-flat. Strengthened the cage and added harnesses/doors for safety.

That's about it. I'm sure there are a few other items but overall I'm happy. I've done almost every 4 at Superlift and SMORR and a few 5's. I can't keep up with Buggy's or Juggy's but I'll hold my own against most rigs running 35-36's.

I've wanted a sxs for a while now and this one doesn't help that any! I've thought about picking up.a ranger since it would seat 3 comfortably but I believe the cog would just be way too high up. The new 900 ranger is sweet though!

I don't think CG would be an issue. Maybe slinky will chime in but we were at SMORR last year and he had an uncle there with a Ranger. He followed us everywhere and had no issues. A little lift and some 28" tires and that thing would be bad. You may lose a little CG but you gain a ton of weight on the front end which is a benifit over the RZR.
