That was one thing I didn't really explore, and the big reason was that my model came with the lower bumper already. Looking back, I should have explored that a bit more, as there are some really nice other bumpers out there. Thanks for the comment!
bbc91camaro I just checked out their site (first I've heard of them). I really like the look of their stuff, and I might look into getting their rock sliders. Thanks for the tip!
so how strong is this add on bumper ? how has it held up ? it is light duty just to protect the front end or could you hook onto it and give it a little tug and it would be ok ? thanks
@@GeneralTalkWithBen thanks for the quick response. I'm picking up a general tomorrow and just debating on that or going aftermarket for added protection but want something strong if I ever had to hook on to it or something. So just wondering. Thanks again seen a couple videos of yours sofar good stuff.
@@GeneralTalkWithBenafter I posted this u seen your other video of the new 1 piece bumper. Looks good and I bet much strong then the OEM I'm guessing ? The other bumper I'm considering is from extreme metal products I like the added bracing they offer with theirs.
Well i won't be ordering one of those. Wonder where this part was built ? Some times a company gets so big that they start to take things for granted like quality. I have same issues with mine body panels that don't fit properly, bed and roof that squeak. Its one of those things that make you think twice when its time to buy again.
Gary Belanger I’ve not had any real squeaking issues. I’ve been pleased with the roof. Also, in my previous video I gave them very high praise for the storage box.
Dang, I agree with the quality issues, mine was somewhat better, but 9 minutes of rant was a bit much. Hope you don't get a Textron in the shop the whole thing is welded like that.
Wooley Swamp Adventures thanks for the feedback. I agree it was a bit much, but it’s one of those things that when it’s your money, you feel invested in it. It needed to be said.
Update: Polaris responded. Thy asked me to follow the warranty process through my dealer, Gainesville Motorsports. I called them today, and they’ve ordered a replacement unit. I’ll keep you posted on the replacement and if it has the same issues.
Thanks for the feedback. How were your welds? I'm assuming that they were similar to mine. I know I complained a LOT about the one I received, but I also have pretty high standards when I'm dropping my own money!!!
Thanks, appreciate this review. I'll be buying a total aftermarket for my General.

I considered buying the vendetta bumper it's really nice quality. I may replace mine with one in the future.

Did u try to get the hood off yet? On mine it is a pain. And the look is about the same.
James Aretta Jr Cut about a half inch off the tabs of the hood it makes removal easier
I wrestled with it Sunday. It was a bit tricky, but I finally got it off and back on.
Are the doug pounds calibrated for elevation.
Not exactly. But I did mention that it was in the "range" of 4 to 5. :-)

It protected the front end when I had my accident. I can’t really complain about its strength.

No problem. I recommend the aftermarket route. I just think you have some better options. But, the OEM does protect the front end.

I have no issue with storage box, i like it.
How much do you in aftermarket goodies? I almost have the wife talked into it :)
sonnysand way too much! There’s always something else it seems. More videos coming because of it, though.
Thanks. That's one her reasons for not getting one

Did polaris respond yet
Not yet. I filled in the form via their website. I wanted to give them a chance to review before escalating.
Update: Polaris responded. Thy asked me to follow the warranty process through my dealer, Gainesville Motorsports. I called them today, and they’ve ordered a replacement unit. I’ll keep you posted on the replacement and if it has the same issues.
Thank you
@@GeneralTalkWithBen I installed one of these yesterday. It was exact same experience you had threads needed cleaned up badly.
Thanks for the feedback. How were your welds? I'm assuming that they were similar to mine. I know I complained a LOT about the one I received, but I also have pretty high standards when I'm dropping my own money!!!
Now that your stuck with it, I'd pull it off, finish grind it, sand blast it, and powder coat it blue or silver!
Thinking of doing that! I would probably go with silver...maybe two-tone it. Thanks for the comment.
I would have put it back in the box and sent it back.
I'm very pleased with the Vendetta Motorsports products. They are WELL-made! I highly recommend them.
buy a havoc x .lol
