Blog update

 Hello all!  I know I've been absent for a long while. I guess that's what happens when you have your first kid!   Anyways I just wanted to give an update and tell a little about what we've had going on lately. 

My wife and I introduced our first kid in April 2020. His name is Kody and so far loves the outdoors just as much as his parents!   We also sold the old 2 seat rzr and upgraded to a rzr xp4t. I've only made a couple modifications to that and I plan on giving a detailed post about those soon.   Now that the little one is a little older we plan to get back into the camping and riding trips so that should make for some better blog posts coming!   I look forward to sharing all off our crazy adventures!  Here's a sneak peek of the rzr

You can kind of see this in the picture to the right. So, I sprayed mine with WD-40 and let it sit several nights before attempting to

RZR MODS

 Initial Modifications to the Polaris RZR In the last post I mentioned we upgraded the rzr with a couple of new modifications. Those were in windshield and a custom GPS/phone mount.    The windshield  The windshield came from everythingpolarisrzr . They have a large selection of windshields available for most of the Polaris lineup. I chose this particular one because it was glass, had an optional wiper available, included an easy to open vent, and the price was very competitive for a full glass windshield. As far as installation goes it was very straightforward and was installed within 15 minutes. The downside was there were no included instructions for the wiper install and the wiper ended up breaking as I was trying to figure it out. Looking at it now, I probably should have contacted the company to get the instructions. Other than the wiper debacle I've been very impressed with the windshield so far. We've only put one trip on it, but it is a huge improvement over the old pl
