Thanks for the vid, I appreciate you sharing your experience with the last wheeler. I had the same experience with my can am 4 seat. Too much weight and power to stand up to the parts.
Sorta sounds like you modded your last one until it started tearing itself apart. Leave it stock (or close at least) and it's bound to last a lot better. That's why the john deere guys find the gators so reliable I think.... 60hp, 45mph, 27" rubber... but they go a long way without detonating transmissions or twisting axle shafts.
Love the setup and thanks for the walk around video! I like the idea of the amber light in the front as well. I've done something similar on my 4Runner TRD Pro with Baja Designs LEDs. Which light bar did you go with there if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
Nice Ranger. I bought a 2021 Polaris Ranger crew 1000 premium a few weeks ago. I liked how you kept your faith in a Polaris Ranger despite the problems you had with your last one and you did not go on a rampage on saying Polaris is "junk", like many people do. I believe doing proper maintenance and using the machine for what it is intended and capable of is key in making any truck, UTV , trailer etc... last longer and encounter less problems. Besides having rear differential problems and wheel bearings, what other problems have you encountered with the Polaris Rangers you have had?
The crew I had so far has had 4 transmissions. Wheel bearings, tie rods, steering rack and a couple rear wheel hubs. This one I have now has 2300 miles and I haven't had to anything but change the oil and put gas in it. My crew was cursed.
I have the same machine but orange. Love it. I want to upgrade tires/wheels too but have seen issues with other peoples rubbing with that size. If you turn the wheel all the way and hit a bump does it rub? Thats when you would notice rubbing. Im not lifting mine. Not worth the headache. Im still gonna do the Gilomen tune/clutch kit as it just smooths out the clutching and drivability. Sounds like your Crew had clutch alignment issues hence the hard shifting into gear. Just a heads up i did a front brushguard on mine that looks like it uses the same support as your rack. Polaris makes a redesigned crossbar so it doesn't block your camera. Where did you get the back window wrap you had on your Crew? Nice looking machine👌
The tires are 30-in big horns They actually measure 29-in They don't rub at all full clock articulated nothing. The back window film I got off of Amazon it was for a truck I didn't do it this time because when it gets wet you can't see out of it. I appreciate you telling me about the update across bar because that was an issue on it that I should have mentioned in the video thank you I'll look into it. I end up getting a whole new clutch with the totally different part number and I still broke a shift lever after that I'm not for sure what was going on but I was suspecting maybe the Gilman clutch tune had something to do with it as I had the dealer reinstall it in the new clutch and they did check the alignment make sure everything was good to go. like I said this unit though shifts like butter so I'm not touching it and it runs 70 miles an hour.
@@tuttlepuddle where did you buy the wheels and tires from??? Were they a package??? How much were they$$$, and how wide are they??? Thanks! I run tracks on mine hence wanting to do the tune/clutch kit still.
no reverse chain ? i am glad to hear that, i was looking at parts/acc and saw the upgrade for the chain and the chain alone was 699 ouch i hav a 2020 also i am a happy guy now ! thanks happy riding !!
Very Nice!! I have a 2021 SOHC Ranger and did a few upgrades to it. Still working on the more in-depth video, just have a short one on the tires and lights.
Can you tell me where you got you front hood rack. I like it! Waiting on my 2021 1000 xp Northstar ultimate crew. I sure hope I better luck than you did
Factory Polaris ...and I sure hope you do as well. Man, honestly it was just a curse and I feel sorry for who ever has it today lol. Polaris has made some good improvements after this unit though. Thanks for watching.
What size are the rims and what are the tire sizes on all 4 corners??? They all the same size??? I can't find the 30" anywhere! Where did you get them???
A guy in my hunting club has a Polaris Ranger 1000. Nothing but trouble. I wish I had a nickel for every time he has replaced bearings and axles. Front differential rebuilt also. You couldn’t give me a Polaris.
They don't and I got them off Amazon. Had to modify them by cutting some material off as they put the bar too high. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0799KRLFT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The rears were perfect www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JVSKL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
www.amazon.com/dp/B0711QGZZ6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Didn't come with the brackets though. Had the same light bar on my last one. Video is in my channel. It's been fantastic has never leaked or got foggy and is extremely bright.
@@tuttlepuddle Thanks for the info. I looked at your other video on the crew it appears that you mounted the light bar differently on this one then you did on the crew. Did you have the brackets fabricated and which mounting system did you like the best. This installation looks a little neater I like it. Also do you think this one is less noisy then the crew. Hopefully they are addressing the noise dampening as they improve these machines. Thanks for your help.
@@saddletramp6808 This one is a lot quieter. The light bar on the front I ordered these. We shaved it down because the light bar was really high so it's somewhat custom. They rivet into the upper door frame.
I've got the exact same ranger and looking to get the same light bar setup, in the Amazon reviews some people say the light bar is too short? Did you have this problem? And does the hole drilling affect the doorstripping/weatherproofing of the cab?
@@nickelmore8679 It's a 52" curved light bar just like the one I had in my 19. The brackets rivet in so it's pretty much flush and doesn't effect the seal at all.
Just so everyone knows. The air-conditioning really does not work in hot climates where you need air-conditioning. See my video I bought a 4 door model.
I Love the cow in the background just taking it all in!
Very nice! I got a 2020 HL single cab, she's alot of fun. Just lifted the shock and turned the key for an extra 2.5in lift
Thanks for the vid, I appreciate you sharing your experience with the last wheeler. I had the same experience with my can am 4 seat. Too much weight and power to stand up to the parts.
Appreciate you watching. I try to give an honest opinion on what I've had to deal with on my machines.

If I had all the problems you did with the first Ranger, this video would be about my brand new Can-Am Defender!
It was just cursed. I've had a lot of UTVs and that one was something else. The guy who bought it has it for sale lol.
tuttlepuddle at least it wasn’t just you it gave problems too lol

Wow, that’s a nice machine! You have it looking really good with the add ons! Love the ultimate package!
Thanks Robbie
I like the front rack...is that a Factory rack? if not, where did ya get it?
It's factory Polaris and saves your paint going through the brush as well.
no reverse chain ? i am glad to hear that, i was looking at parts/acc and saw the upgrade for the chain and the chain alone was 699 ouch i hav a 2020 also i am a happy guy now ! thanks happy riding !!
Nice new unit. I’m jealous
Very Nice Ride what color is that one?

Any help on your front rack ?
@@scott19667231 that rack is a factory Polaris accessory
I just ordered 2024 ulitmate and I did not want the crew because I wanted a shorter wheel base to get through narrow trails
You made a good decision. The crews are just too heavy and the roof always leaks.
You lifted your last one which is why you had issues. When you lift you have to upgrade all parts. Just lifting is half the battle
It was only a 2" bracket lift didn't think it was too extreme but yeah I get your point.
Thats a nice seat brother❤️❤️ how much was it? Out the door
Around $30k with everything on it
I have a 2021 crew northstar coming in soon, do you think im safe from all the problems?
I do
What size are the rims and what are the tire sizes on all 4 corners??? They all the same size??? I can't find the 30" anywhere! Where did you get them???
Could you post the link to the lights on the rear? Thanks
Where did you get those brackets for you 50” light bar?
Amazon
A guy in my hunting club has a Polaris Ranger 1000. Nothing but trouble. I wish I had a nickel for every time he has replaced bearings and axles. Front differential rebuilt also. You couldn’t give me a Polaris.
The 2020's have been legit. 2k miles not a single issue and we work ours. It's not a hobby unit it works every week.
Nice how much did you pay
Where did you get those light bar mounts? Do they interfere with the door seal?
They don't and I got them off Amazon. Had to modify them by cutting some material off as they put the bar too high. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0799KRLFT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The rears were perfect www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JVSKL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Where did you get the front rack. And does it interfere with the opening of the windshield?
Factory Polaris and no it doesn't by design.
Did you tint the windshield? If so how much?
I did not
Is the 2020 crew any better ?
Yes it is .... No reverse chain and shifts like butter. Have over a thousand miles on it now and not even a squeak.
Look good 👍 hopefully you will enjoy and have better time with this one. Nice 👌 machine and I like because the Cow 🐄 aprove. 😊👍🤝
Haha appreciate that
Are the tires a true 30" tall? Do they rub at all?
They're Bighorns they measure 29". Zero rub under any condition. Great tire and light too.
Could you include a link for the top light bar and did it come with the brackets.
www.amazon.com/dp/B0711QGZZ6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Didn't come with the brackets though. Had the same light bar on my last one. Video is in my channel. It's been fantastic has never leaked or got foggy and is extremely bright.

Is the 2020 any quieter inside the cab?
Not a noticable difference
Where did you get the mounting brackets for the 52” light bar?
Had to modify it though it set to high originally. www.amazon.com/dp/B0799KRLFT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Do the 30 inch tires rub at all?
They do not
The cow likes it too
You left the price out. How much .
Close to 30k after all the add ons
@@tuttlepuddle Thank You
Any belt issues?
None
Just so everyone knows. The air-conditioning really does not work in hot climates where you need air-conditioning. See my video I bought a 4 door model.
It gets VERY humid and hot in Kansas. Mine works very well in my old crew and this one. You may need to get yours looked at.
You forgot about front and rear cameras.
I did thanks
where did you get the light mounts for the rear lights
They were on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B079JVSKL3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_L7stFbVJZJ9M7
@@tuttlepuddle cool thanks for the vid
