finally got out for a good ride on the long weekend, machine worked great. FYI....if you buy a Muzzy black box for a commander, the directions are wrong on where it plugs in on a 2012 model.

looks familiar teeroy, Ima be down this summer for a good ol rip for a few days, ill have to get a hold of ya ;)
do that, we'll shake it up like old times. that's the lookout over the smoky where those blue metal corrals used to be. I'll tell ya, it's a lot busier out there than back in the day. mostly cruising type peeps tho, the old climbs we used to do still give you a good challenge.

Our month old '12 900XP. Beadlocks ( + a spare I carry too) with 28" Swamp Lites, Snorkled, 4000lb Warn, Aluminum doors roof bumpers & sliders. Works great, we've had a 2010 RZR800 Limited and this was an awesome step up from that machine. Riding outwest the width can be a hindrence once in a while but not to bad.

nice machine! did you have the doors paint stripped before installation? they look cool in bare aluminum. finally got around to installing my pro armor doors on the commander, quite the task. they look wicked though, happy to get rid of those lame ass nets....

lots of hogging with the die grinder, had to extend the lower slotted mounts. the upper pieces that slide over the stub needed attention too, had to open up the tube a bit to be able to get them far enough onto the stub to get the bolts in. I had heard lots of stories of them being a pain in the ass to install, they are all true. but I got them exactly where they should be, they look great. I like the looks of the turnkey doors, I might have went that way but they were still not shipping them when I was buying doors.

Yea that rhino looks good.


On my pro armor doors needs a little reaming of the holes on the hinge side upper tube
the upper tube is just slightly larger than the tube behind the stub, I just made the inside diameter of the hinge tube a little bigger so it would slide over the tube behind the stub a little bit. that lined up the upper holes, elongating the lower holes rearward picked the door up slightly helping the clearance issue with the bottom of the door rubbing on the bodywork.

heard quite a few stories of poor fitting pro armor doors on the commanders. they don't line up worth a ch!t. the can am dealer even warned me about them not fitting properly, they charged some poor sap 6 hours for an install....cost the guy almost 2k for a set on his brand new machine. I would freak out
