Someone else has mentioned that about the rock sliders too.  I think I will go with a nice skid plate and not worry about the sliders.

Good idea... being new to the forum, I had not taken time to update my profile, but have now done so.  I feel the need as you do, since I own a successful forum myself.

We are looking at picking up an 09 RZR 800 LE Nuclear Sunset and want to make sure we are getting a fair deal.

Here is the breakdown...

$10450 Unit
$650 ITP 26" TerraCross Kit w/ 14" 212 Wheels
$149 Top
$179 Fender Flare Kit
$59 Shoulder Seat Bag
$11487 Total
$379 Tax
$11866 OTD

We are not looking to beat the dealer to death, but we obviously want a good deal, especially since this is a leftover 09 model.

He had the bigger wheels on another RZR and they look a lot better than the stock wheels, but it seems like we are paying too much for the ITP TerraCross Kit when we are giving him the LE stock wheels.

I more than welcome any dealer PM's if that is acceptable in the forum.

We have considered the S model, but worried about mud and dirt slinging back into the unit and on us.

I found the Benz Silent Rider UTV Exhaust Silencer for about $150, which seems to work from what I have read thus far.

I am thinking of giving this a try.

Will any of these kits quieten an 800 XP? 

This is about the only thing we are disappointed in... our Ranger 800 XP LE is just too loud.

Thanks!

We have an old Mule about 8-9 years old and we are looking to get something new, but have not sure about the best to buy.

We would probably like a two row (4-6 seater) better than a two seater.

Speed is not an issue... power is more important, but still not the main focus. We mostly just cruise around... general light duty work with the occasional heavy duty requirement.

We definitely want 4WD and a good smooth ride. Comfort is probably the most important of everything. Our 19 year old daughter would say speed is the most important thing, but we ain't buying it for her.

I checked out the Joyner UTV's, but they all appear to be manual transmissions with a clutch, which won't work, no negotiating. The wife and daughter don't do the manual trans thingy... it needs to have forward and reverse, no having to change gears.

Our friends just picked up one of the Ranger 6 seaters and are really praising its ride comfort. They purchased an 09 model for about 12,400 with a windshield and top. The one thing that they have complained about with it is the dust seems to suck right back into the seating area really bad. Not sure if this is merely a windshield thing or the design.

Anyway... would like suggestions and welcome dealers to contact me. I have no problem buying out of state to save a few bucks if the unit can be shipped reasonably and still save some money.

Thanks!
