anyone have the Polaris rock sliders yet? I see they have two versions, a low profile and a standard. the standard look like they may stick out quiet a bit? can anyone attest to this? is it too much? do the low profiles provide enough protection?






thanks,

I ordered the Standard i though they looked more rugged than the low profile ones

I agree....I'm just concerned of overall width after installation. I came from the Rzr world and I'm trying to stick as close the the 62" as I can.

Just put them on mine tonight they do stick out brings the machine about 65 1/2 inches it'll be worth it actually going between trees it will save your doors when Trailride

I have the standard ones. I have not had them out on the trail, but was a little worried after installing them that they might hit something, then I started studying them a little closer. They stick out 4-3/4" from the bottom of the machine to the outside of the sliders. Not as much as it looks actually. The doors also bow out. I'm estimating they only stick out about 1-1/2" beyond the bow in the door.

Ok thanks. The measurements are extremely helpful.

These numbers don't seem to be widely available, anyone surprised by this? Has me thinking that Polaris could better know its buyer demographics and provide to them things like this that make a difference, although its after they get our money

Here are a few pics.

Great pictures! Thank you for posting, I will order me a set they look great.

They look perfect to me - stick out a bit for protection.

Just depends on how and where ya ride. The tubes are great for tree protection but worthless in the rocks:surprise: They get hung up on everything:| Had a set on my RZR and yanked them off after 2 rides. But remember we have a lot more rocks than trees here in SoCal:grin2: I would be patient cause it won't be long before Factory UTV comes out with a full UHMW skid set that will include the rocker protection.

I ordered the new standard rock sliders yesterday. We have played hard with ours, and on a trail last week, we hit a rut, and tossed us sideways, scratching the door on a tree. Hoping these prevent that going forward

JB, how did the paint hold up on your door? Anyway you can do a pic of it?

 

[Jbcfaithriders]

I'm slow I guess. I can't get it to post. I have uploaded a picture to my album on my profile page

I have them on mine, well worth the money.

Thanks JB, that's what I was thinking would happen. That's why I'm not a fan of painted plastics. If just plastic, it would have a ding. With the paint you get the ding and you can see the plastic underneath. At this point I'm thinking that I'll wait until next model year and hope they come out with ranger green, non painted.

I sometimes ride where the brush hugs the trail real tight and I can see what will happen, especially to the doors at the swell. I don't want to have to spend money touching up or repainting. Plain old colored plastic is the way for me but I'm not interested in red.

If you closer at the pic. What is scratched off is the black sticker and not the paint. I can see blue under the black stickers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

TRAPPER, you are correct. That's good to see!!! Im still hoping for a plain color plastic that's not red.

 

[Jbcfaithriders]

It did scratch the paint off a bit, not bad. None the less would be better to have the sliders in my opinion

The doors on the Deluxe are already mostly black. I'm thinkin about having mine sprayed with the bed liner material. It's flexible, won't chip or crack and will certainly hold up well:grin2: That is of course if my car ever shows up:|
