Right on! Looks beastly!!
Thanks bud!!
Nice review! Bike looks good!!!!
Looking good, really digging those rims!!
Thanks man, they really set off the blacked out look I'm going for
@@GHOSTMAATVs I am going for the HL 1000 but its going to be my first atv ever ,should I go for something smaller as a begginer?
very nice machine thumbs up shared
thanks buddy!
Bad ass bike brother sweet love the way the wheels look on those tires i have the same bike
Thanks buddy!
Friends run Polaris and love the rigs. Awesome bud , I'm thinking my 570 caned ham could smoke you on the hardtop 😂
I'd get you off the line, but you'd pull away lol
Just bought my wife a 2020 highlifter 850. The shocks on it are fine. Lots of travel and very comfortable ride. Guess they corrected that issue for 2020. Be safe.
Not sure man. I went from a 420 rancher to this. Was like going from a cadillac to a lumber wagon lol. Threw the scrambler shocks on and it rides like a dream now.
I got a 2020 not to long ago and the shocks were fine and handled bumps really well so I think they did correct it
Put ear plugs in dammit that beast sounds great! Thanks for sharing
Looks fantastic great video, where can you purchase front and rear 1000 bumpers

Do u get overheating issues after mudding and trail riding after? My buddy still gets mudd underneath his radiator and it always overheats because it has no protection underneath.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I'm bout get 2022, How much power tor does it have? easy to wheelie and water wheelie?
Do you have wheel spacers on the bike in this video, if so what’s the setup, I have the same bike and I wanna lift it 2” and have my tires stick out like yours. Nice lookin machine bud👍🏼
No wheel spacers in this video. When I was still running stock wheels, I used a 1.5" spacer. These new wheels are a 0 offset so no spacers needed
Is this better than 2015 850 sportsman sp
I have not heard a lot of good news from people that have had the highlifter quads !!
We should do a "Switch machine review" together. A comparison video.
We could make that happen!
Que marca son los rines??
Did that front bumper and winch come with it, or did you add those and if i wanted to upgrade my 19' 850 high lifter to have that you wouldn't happen to have the part number for that bracket would you?
i added the winch when i bought the bike. it was originally frame mounted below the front grill before i did the bumper. when i purchased the bumper, the Polaris winch was a direct bolt on to the 1000 bumper
Did you use the mount that comes with the winch? I bought a pro hd winch 3500. I have the same atv and front bumper
If you have the same bumper, the winch should bolt right to it. No mount required.
Good Morning. Could you tell me the height of your snorkel risers? I bought the 2021 1000 and love the short snorkels set up.
It's the kit from Snorkel Your ATV. Warrior risers for the HL sportsman. All I did was not use the couplings that come with the kit
@@GHOSTMAATVs Thank you man
Can you make a video explaining how you did the snorkels like that? I am thinking about getting the warrior risers but I want them not as tall
Sure thing bud. I'll do one up this week in my update vid.
About 21 minutes into this video I've linked is when we did the install.

I have a 2019 Highlifter 1000. About to do the 2inch bracket lift and I am still running factory wheels and tires. What size spacers should I use?
1" minimum
Hey, sorry you said, a pinion plate is a must? Im looking a buying this machine and i was just wondering what that is
Thank you and have a great day
The pinion plate is what hols the front pinion gear in the front differential. The one from the factory is very weak. Custom Moto Quad makes a heavy duty billet pinion plate that is a direct replacement.
Looks great !
I’m thinking of buying one but I won’t be mudding all the time
What are these things like on the trails ?
Not too bad, just need to upgrade your suspension. If you do t they are really hard on the back. The factory shocks have next to no travel and are almost always on the bump stops.
I have stock shocks, did a winter run that was 240km, honestly, it was 100% fine until one 2-3km stretch of brutal fire road @ 80kmh with a million pot holes, then it sucked real bad. But even a trail machine with no power steering would have sucked for that section.
I came from a Honda Rancher with IRS, thing was like riding a lazy boy down the trail. Never felt anything so, this Highlifter was like a lumber wagon compared to it. Adding Scrambler shocks made it so much more comfy.
@@GHOSTMAATVs I also have an AC 700 XT, which is a Cadillac. I've also had a KQ 750 which was fine on bias tires, not fantastic, but good. I put radials on it and that was way worse than a stock HL. I ended up only using the radials for plowing because little bumps on mild trail were brutal on the arms. They also made too grippy. If you moved the bars a little at speed you'd almost do a 90 degree instantly. Id buy a KQ again, just never radials.
I'd like the scrambler shocks, but is the lift going to compromise the axles? I don't have spare cash for broken axles.
@@EC_ATV_Outdoors it doesn't compromise your axles at all, at least mine it didn't. Some say they get binding, but they are allowing their front suspension to fully extend on a regular basis with water wheelies and jumps. You can remedy this with a set of limit straps which are very cheap.
Where and what year exactly are those 1000 brush guard front and rear I like them black I just picked up a 2020 850 and idk about the lime squeeze color
Black are 2018!
Front bumper part number is
1021183-067
Rear bumper part number is
1021569-067
Of course you'll need all the hardware to go with it as well. If you head over so Instagram or Facebook, you can message me there and I'll send you a copy of the entire parts list.
I been looking for this thx
Did you put the fox shocks or just the regular scrambler shocks?
Just the regular.scrambler shocka
hi there, did you use the stock axels when you did the lift kit ,
Yes I used stock axles. Still have the stock axles in. Some people do have problems with binding, but I don't. If you do you can add limit straps or a double plunging axle to remedy the issue.
good to know, installing a 2 inch lift today . have heard some break and others have had no problems.guess i will just try the stockers till they break. thx
I gotta upgrade to those scrambler shocks.. Where can I buy them new??
You should be able to buy them new from your dealer.
Man how did you wire up that light Bar? Machine looks unreal
Hey bud, I just got a complete wiring kit off Amazon. Came with the rocker switch, fuse and relay.
Use the orange accessory wires or did you tap into something else?
@@cugs17 when you get the kit off Amazon, it wires right to the battery. That's how I did it. It's the auxbeam kit I believe. I just bought a different smaller rocker switch.
Where did you get your shock and the name of them where did you get your tires and rims
They are off a stock 2013 Scrambler 850
Where did you get your front and back bumper from I want one🤤
Straight from the dealer man!
GHOSTMA ATVs how much did ya pay for it
@@nicholasokula8140 around 600 Canadian for everything
Where did you find the front bumper?
www.polarispartsonline.ca
Do you remember how much you paid out the door ? Looking to get one
Around 12500 I think.
@@GHOSTMAATVs ok thank
How's it without power steering
It's fine on the trails and in the mud. Doing chores around our property where I have to pull a trailer, forward and reverse alot, tight slow turns around trees it's very tough.
Do you kick yourself for not getting a 1000 or is 850 plenty?
850 is plenty. It's like 7 horsepower less than the 1000. The price difference here was around $5000, so it just wasn't worth it. With doing the lift, rims, exhaust, halos, lightbar, shocks, from and rear bumpers I still am thousands less than if I would have bought the 1000. If I want power steering, I can buy a lot for that for around $600
GHOSTMA ATVs 10/4, thanks for the info!!
What shocks did you put on?
I used stock base shocks from a 2013 polaris Scrambler.
Yeah looking to switch out the shocks on my 2019 a bit stiff.
They are very stiff. Just be aware that without a lift, the extra travel in the scrambler shocks will cause tire rub.
2inch lift?
Yes, I did the 2" bracket lift.
What kind of wheels are those
The are MSA M20 Kore
GHOSTMA ATVs thanks
My 2015 rancher rides like absolute dog shit I’m pretty sure this is way better than a honda
Rides like a lumber wagon lol
Can renegade xmr 1000r all day everyday. Mine would eat this turd alive
Thanks for the view $$$
Only thing a canam eats is parts
@@patrickbfit what kinda bike u got lol. Dont say polaris lmao
@@brandonbohon5565 Polaris highlifter 1k. Hasn't broken at all and it's been through hell. Seen a couple canams grenade their diffs though. Know a guy who's diff, power steering, drive shaft all grenaded in 6 months. Also i've beaten a couple stock 1000 xmrs in mud races.
@@patrickbfit lmao. Go watch eh TV and nos atv youtube. There buddy has a highlifter 1k it's always breaking down.
Polaris is crap yall. Get a can am.
😂😂
@@GHOSTMAATVs my renegade xmr 1000r would eat any polaris alive
Thanks for the view bud! I really feel for ya though. Sucks that ha gotta spend thousands to beat a Highlifter 😂😂. Thanks for the view!
@@GHOSTMAATVs I cant help that can am renegade xmr 1000r comes from factory made more mud ready than the highlifter is. I'm just saying I've owned polaris atvs before never had any luck
@@GHOSTMAATVs the renegade xmr 1000r is twice the bike as a highlifter. Of course its gonna cost more. Lol
