- Today we'll test our many different items on my new 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar crew Ultimate! We've been getting heavy rains all day today, so I decided to go ahead and get wet and test out many different things today on my new 2022 Polaris Northstar Ultimate, as well as some of my DIY GoPro camera mount and different camera angles. Today we'll brave the heavy rains and try out the Polaris Northstar Ultimate cab to see if it leaks in heavy rains, well try out the 4wd system as we drive through heavy rains and slick clay, we'll do some creek crossings in a deep creek, try out the 4wd system, engine braking, and much more. While I really did not want to get soaking wet, I thought this was a great opportunity to try out the Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate as well as test out my 3rd try on my DIY GoPro camera mount to get some very unique camera angles for the Polaris Ranger Northstar Ultimate trail ride! Thanks for joining me today and stay tuned for the next episode of this rain soaked ride to see if I damaged my passenger side door after slamming down on a big rock that was hidden in the overflowing creek, see if the Northstar cab leaked, or if the doors leaked from high waters, and much more.

Thank so much for taking the time and getting soggy for us - Dual screen, wow you are getting fancy but it was great to see both perspectives. Really interested in the rock sliders
Thanks, glad I made myself get out and do it! Yeah the video did not do that bottoming on the rock sound any justice. It was quite the 'whack!' Thanks
When I first started watching, I thought you were being TOWED - the camera "pole" fooled me!!
That side mount is going to make it awfully easy to bash the poor camera on trees, isn't it?!!
You could DEFINITELY send a bit of that rain out here to us in California!!
You can have some rain!! Yeah that side view will mostly be for open areas, but I had to try out my new diy cam mount. Thanks
That was a fun video! When you went through the creek and said oh that is deeper than I thought reminded me of the time deer hunting I drove through the Grand river in western S.D. With my new pickup! Anyway fun video! Thanks!
Thanks man. Hope you made it through the river! At least I knew this one had a hard bottom, but that was was really gushing. Take care
That heavy rain was a good test for the Polaris! Looks like the new GoPro lens stayed nice and clear, no water droplets collecting or fogging up.
Not a big fan of the camera on a stick. But otherwise, what a great adventure video! Liked it!
Fair enough! Thanks have a good one (But I did order a new stick, this time aluminum to see if it will reduce the bouncing. Always working on improvements!)
Now that is my kind of fun playing in the mud.
Glad to hear it, but it sure is not my favorite! lol. I'll take a nice and dry ride through the woods!
when i saw the intro i said oh no what are you doing to are beautiful polaris , but in the end wasnt near as bad as it looked ..thumbs up
That sc1 really held off a lot of that clay! I was happy to see that!
Very unique camera view...love it
Thanks, wish I'd have had it on the right setting! But next time I will! Have a good one
Test the Polaris in the wet for leaks etc 🙄 in other words I'm going out to play 🤣🤣🤣 great video 👍
Great video Joe. Water check done.
lol for sure! Now for the next adventure test!
@@kapperoutdoors can the new Polaris tackle the new duck pond.
We're currently setting slammed by winter storms Dudley and Eunice, luckily the rain hasn't been too bad but the 50-60mph winds in our area have been clearing out the deadwood.
Very nice, enjoy all your videos,....I like watching your back up cam even if you're not 😁
Thanks, we appreciate it! Yeah it was a little tight and when I was backing on the flat rock, it was a steep drop off right behind me! I think I did look at the back up cam once on that one!
Good stuff. I really like this series. Wished I’d bought a Northstar. Got a new Honda Pioneer just 6 months ago, but a climate controlled cab is hard to beat. Polaris is really uping their game such that there is no real competition. Sooner or later I’ll be in a NE Polaris new, I’ll find a way.
Thanks man, you ain't kidding. Prices are high but life is short! Can't beat the heat and air, full cab, comfortable ride yet awesome capability! Good luck.
I endured a pain threshold of "7" seeing that new machine get dirty))))). Good luck with it!!
lol come on, it was not that bad was is!?? :0
wow i’m amazed what it can do in the trails i have a 2023 north star but haven’t even got it dirty yet lol
LOL hopefully you get it dirty in a fun way!
o i will
I bought a 22 1000 premium in October. Love it! However, I would have loved to buy a Northstar xp1000. Problem is, I needed a machine now! I'll get a couple of years out of this and probably upgrade.
Awesome, and best of luck! They are great machines!
Man that is an awesome ride; sure would be fun to do a trail ride in the rain. And, the DIY GoPro is awesome! Take Care Brother!
Thanks buddy, appreciate it! Hope all is well with you and family!
@@kapperoutdoors All good here brother. All healed up and back at it!
I thought you're being towed 😅 so it was your go pro cam haha. That fooled me. Stay safe. How I wish I can have one
lol well at least you were honest! Thanks, this machine is awesome! Take care
Awesome Vid!
Thanks man, just checked out your trailer on your channel. Love it! New sub from me!
Congrats on the 100k! woot!, When's the big party at your place?
That would be pretty fun I bet!! Thanks!
Great vlog! 2 questions, how tall are you, as for my fit inside? Where you happy with the tires, or would you consider directional. Love dreaming through you experiences. 💛
Thank you! I am 6' 5" and I can still fit ok. Not sure on the tires I have not really ridden it too much yet. They seemed to do ok in the slick clay but probably not as good as the Maxxis tires on the other Ranger we have. It did slide around quite a bit. Keep on dreaming and moving the needle! Cheers
Field testing, Polaris should pay for the video! Nice job!
lol I sure wish they would!! Then maybe I can afford some better camera equipment! Thanks
Nice trail ride, what camera was you using inside the cab, It was not as good as the GoPro10 on the outside.
Inside was my GoPro 7. But it does have a little screen damage from having a smidge too close to a welding op!! Won't do that again! lol
Crew cab with a 6ft camera boom, turning radius is non-existent haha
Thats for sure!
Man, y'all got drenched! We didn't get enough to help the drought much. 🙁
I'd love to send some your way!!
Snorkel ride 🙂
Kap just a question for you, when you are riding in the woods or fields are you in low or high range 🤔, that camera makes it look like it is giving you a beating. Stay safe 🙏 have a Blessed weekend 🙏
Mostly in high range unless going really slow. The gopro stick is fiberglass and bounces really bad, but I am not getting beat up in the machine. Just looks like it because of that. The machine has great suspension. Thanks man
Sure won't take long to rip up those fields when ripping around when wet.
Nope but I wanted to get it out for the rainy slime test so won't be out much when it's wet any more
I try to find information about elka stage 1 shock upgrade… looks like its the way to go to smooth the ride on bumpy road
I'm guessing that's not the shocks they come with?
@@kapperoutdoors no it’s popular aftermarket option on internet and everyone sayings it’s the way to go for a really better ride
I’m exited to watch this!
Even though I got soaked it was pretty fun!
It looked pretty fun
👑
I was just typing asking how long it would take ya to break the boom pole?? Never mind--I got my answer..smh
lol but this time it really did not break! Looking good for the next real ride, or attachment to the excavator!
does it have a diff lock?
yes, it is Polaris true AWD system. But you can also lock the rear diff.
Can you make this road legal
Yes they have kits for that. Don't know if I will or not, but you never know. Thanks
