Polaris sent me out a new rig, a Polaris General XP 4 1000. This UTV, Side-by-side, SxS, mini truck - whatever you want to call it is built for fun and for play. Largely based on a Polaris RZR, the General adds a small dump bed and a few other features that make it a little more geared towards 'work'. The Polaris General XP 4 1000 SxS / UTV has plenty of ground clearance and suspension travel to make it a joy out on the trails, but has plenty of payload and the dump bed feature to make it very handy out on the ranch. Best of both worlds? Idk, but I think so. This might be the best all around UTV, Side-by-side, adventure rig out there.

![2000 Mile Review: 2021 Polaris General 1000 4 seater [Family UTV Riding - Overlanding UTV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LCMVmfX2wPU/mqdefault.jpg)
Using it as a short trip overland style rig would be pretty awesome. Not a lot of people demonstrating practical uses for these. Lots of people showing how fast and fun they are, but it will be good to get a different perspective
If only states would make them street legal, even if it's under 50mph, that would help alot to see the real practical uses!
We put a roof top tent on our 1000xp 4 seater n that thing is so fun for weekend trips
Make it street legal there are ways to do it even if your state is one that doesn’t register for the streets this kind of vehicles. South Dakota will plate it and you could take it to places were they will allow street legal SXS the other way is Montana LLC holding your title and registration for street use using this last method you could drive it even in your state as it not registered directly to you and as long your are not on any interstate hwy you are legal.
Spent years working on, tricking out and building these, the Polaris platform is amazing.
I would like to see you just use it first without mods. Then you could show us how well it performs in different tasks since its sort of supposed to do everything. Sometimes those vehicles are great and sometimes they just don't do anything well. I have a Honda Pioneer which is strictly utilitarian and works well for my needs. I wonder how well something like the General would do at handling my needs but also add to my fun. My guess is that its a really expensive vehicle. I am also interested in reliability in the real world. My personal experience with Polaris has been that they don't last very long and break a lot.
Please show everything about this thing!!! Camping, snow off-roading, etc. especially snow plowing so I can justify one of these to my wife 😂😂😂
Haha!
I've got a plow on mine, that was my justification.
I am also waiting for your to get some good reviews in on this bad boy. I keep checking my notifications for when the day happens
Awesome, congratulations !!
I ride UTV’s, quads, dirt bikes, you name it. Super fun, you’ll enjoy it. Would be cool to see you take it somewhere and load it up and leave with just that and all your camping gear for two or three days. I look forward to more of your videos.
"I mean, I'm not gonna do a roof top tent....well, not yet." 😂 Love it bro. Can't wait to see the build unfold.
Haha we'll see...
Was out in Ouray in August in my 4Runner and those side by sides are taking over. Lots of them all over and all ages driving them. What I like about them is that they are all set up for wheeling and you don’t have to worry about not being able to drive it home. You just load on the trailer and go.
Super stoked for you mike. Can't wait to see what you do with this thing!...... And definitely can't wait to see this full size truck that's in the works.
Track system for the snow, the KC treatment and maybe an aftermarket roll cage with a sleeker lower roofline, the stock cages will cave on a high speed rollover
It is a lot of fun having a General XP. There is a ton of things you can do with it. I love mine.
Awesome addition !! I have a 17’ Tacoma and a RZR 900 Trail and I take it along on the occasional weekend overland trip. In some cases it allows you to access back country areas you can’t reach with the truck. I’d like to see it in action in this mode, gear it up to do some overnight trips as well. Lots of interesting ways to show us how the General can add to your adventures.
Well done mike you have grown so much i am proud of you !!!
Haha thanks!
Comb not bro i have been following you for long ass time . Still mad i didn’t make it at shot show to meet and greet . Was my first time and i went crazy with interviews trying to grow myself .
But seriously you have taken your Chanel to a master peace!
Thank you
So DOPE, can't wait to see you winter camp in this thing!
Comms? Normal tire tools & jack? What kind of electrical sytem needs wil you have? Lights, comms, winch power draw? Basic stuff you might have in your truck....med kit rifle boot, survival kit, emergency shelter. Fuel & water?
Mike is getting so fancy. Love the new toy and the color scheme is on point for the LLOD brand.
Sweet rig Mike!! Excited to see all the mods you do and I know you'll do things tastefully!
It's always fun to see whatever you have in the works! Have fun with the new toy and keep us updated on it. I've been following since you bought the the Taco (same time I bought mine) and it's all great to watch! Keep up the good work Mike
PS - Loving your G19 holster so far, I've always been skeptical of appendix carry but I love it so far. I understand the gun content on YT has become a challenge, but I've always enjoyed that side of your content as well!
Dude! I'm so excited for you. I just ordered one of your holsters for my 19 and I love it. Glad to see you picked up a General. I just picked up the same exact model the day before Thanksgiving. I'll let you know a couple things I got for you to think about. I grabbed the Speed Strap tie down kit along with the towstrap that I throw under a seat in the general. I picked up the Seizmik Pursuit side view mirror and corner mounting brackets, which are really nice! I picked up a Savage UTV belt change kit and a spare belt. I mounted it to the center bar inside of the top of the cab with the hose clamp kit. I also got a Savage UTV fire extinguisher kit, and installed that next to the belt change kit so everyone can access it if we roll and are still strapped in. I ordered the Polaris tip out windshield and rear windshield glass but they're back ordered. I ordered the OEM dome light, and a simple street legal kit. I picked up 6 Baja Designs pod lights, 2 for the bumper, 2 for the A pillars, and 2 for the back mounted up top for utility and reverse lights. I also grabbed the Kemimoto bag for the gap in the front console. I put an ARB plug kit in there, along with an ARB deflator, and I grabbed a Viair compressor that I stuck under the driver seat. I swapped out the winch cable for a synthetic rope. I also put on a lighted whip for riding near other people. Plans for the future include Eibach dual rate springs. I plan to fab up a rear rack because I'm not a huge fan of the factory kits out there (tusk/razorback). I'm going to relocate the rear camera to the top of the cage so it's actually usable, the factory position on it is super low. I'll eventually swap to a set of matching tires so I can actually rotate them (no idea when Polaris uses this factory set). When I do that I'll get some wheels with a little more offset so I can widen the track width without using wheel spacers, and grab a 5th wheel and tire for the trail. Pro Eagle makes a pretty sweet CO2 jack that I'll eventually get along with a Power Tank. The rest of the stuff I get will just be as it comes along I suppose, I look forward to your build!
This was a super valuable comment for me. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it, and all the insight. I'll look into everything you suggested and I'm glad to say a fair bit was already on my list!
Do they make a kit to pull a trailer?
@@smoore0530 The machine ships with a hitch already installed. You just need to plug a receiver in and you're off and running. I've only towed small stuff around the property but this thing is strong enough to pull decent weight for sure.
Skid plate and rock slider options. Securing camping gear and lighting for night trail/obstacle riding. I'm excited to see how you choose to set it up! It's a versatile UTV!
We’ve got a Polaris Ranger 1000 2 seater that we use around our property. It’s been a really good vehicle for us. I dig the color scheme on yours. That tan is really cool.
dude...this is so awesome....we just picked up a 2018 rzr xp4 turbo. let the fun begin!!!!
Winter camping would be cool. Maybe a hot tent for extreme temps. Nice buggy.
Overlanding dune buggy! Awesome. Yes to adventures, snow and otherwise! Very glad it keeps a wide base- keeps it from rolling. And beefy, gritty, capable. Let's see it in its orig state- "see what the little dude will do!" For a bit.
Awesome man! Digging the side by side and the Toyota videos were great. Excited to see where your channel is headed. Hoping 2021 brings more content on your “gun” channel too!
Keep doing what your doing. Love the videos. Mod that thing the way you want to. Now a days the sky is the limit on mods with utvs. Personally I’d love to see any video you produce (mods, overland, homesteading, hunting, etc...)
Thank you LLOD
The best thing you can buy is a spare belt and keep some tools with you. I have blown belts on the trail and can change it out in less than 10 minutes
Cool. Be awesome to see you take it on some over night trips. I watch a few other ATV/UTV over nights campers
I love the content you are putting out... including the random stuff. I sure you get the comments from the Toyota guys about how they only wanna see Tacoma stuff, or the preppers about they only wanna see the bug out content but I enjoy it all. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see what you do with the General and the new place.
I would love to see an "overland general build", along with that, overnight camping out of the general and things of that nature would be super dope
I will be checking out the General now, But wanted to say thank you for the order I placed. Your Multicam hat and the Cobra Belt are solid, and I am a total hat snob so nice work. I will be ordering in other colors. I also dig the LLOD Multicam patch I purchased. Love the channel and what you are about. Wanted to say thanks and Merry Christmas to you both.
You should definitely put a rooftop tent on that thing and do an extended camping trip out in the backcountry! Love the channel, and the holsters Mike, thanks for keeping us entertained through COVID!
I have a General XP 4 seater. I have full cab enclosure wit heater and plow. You should switch to synthetic winch line & fairlead as e steal cable will take a beating with plowing. Also, a polaris wireless winch remote makes the plowing and winch use a lot easier. Highly recommended.
Was just gonna say add a rooftop tent!! Overland trips, utility,everything!! Was thinking about getting one of these and have been customizing a bunch of them on the polaris website
I would like to see you set it up with utility style racks which would work with tools for property work as well as adventure gear. I have a 2018 Pioneer 1000/3 EPS and am always looking for ideas and mostly find that people just add electronic accessories and switch panels rather than tool and gear solutions. I had a 2001 Polaris 500HO and it was a great machine that gave me great service and no problems I think you will love your new machine.
I would love to see you use it around your property doing work and plowing snow and having fun!
That's exactly what I want to buy! My buddy has the 2 door and it is crazy fun. I want to use mine for family outings though and still bring a cooler/tent/ whatever i need.
Mine is on order should be getting it at the beginning of March sooooooooo excited !!!!!!
You’re gonna have a blast! I’ve actually rolled a razor not on purpose obvi but luckily I was in a fully upgraded razor. With that being said I’d recommend first upgrading to a better roll cage and seat belts. Razor are made to roll so better to be prepared for the unexpected.
Merry Christmas Mike!
Roof top tent install and review, please! Actually, I want to see it mounted on a trailer lol! Additional weight up top is no bueno for fast trail/forest road driving IMHO.
We got a General XP 4 last summer and, in my opinion, it’s got the secret sauce. Smooth AF, quicker than it needs to be, and easily fits 4 peeps plus their gear. Excellent adventure machine for those of us that can legally drive them on public roads. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Nice purchase, you’re gonna love it. You must take the General to Moab. Upgrade your shock springs, you won’t be sorry. All things UTV.com has them. Best bang for the buck you can add to your machine. Smoothed out low speed bumps, rides like a Caddy
Allthingzutv.com
Turbo...ALL THE TURBOS!!!!!! Grats on the sweet new ride man!
Perfect timing on the upload for a study break from finals.
Definitely keep for utility purposes around the property, but also take it out and let’s see it rip!
SxS vs Tacoma off road. Help me understand how those little tires can be so capable rock climbing because I know they are.
Front and rear locker with a ton of travel
It’s not necessarily about how big tires are, it’s about keeping the tires on the ground while there’s articulation and a lot of travel.
Want to see you do ALL of it!! Looks awesome
Very nice recon/patrol support rig. Add some mounting racks for gear, kit it out and add a rolled up camo net attached to the top that you can unstrap and make her disappear. They are incredibly capable little rigs. My scout unit had 5 of them , they take a beating.
Yeah they can definitely conquer gnarlier terrain than you'd guess
We put a RTT ontop of our 1000xp 4 seater with a rtic cooler in the bed for weekend trips! so fun
Maybe try putting a bike rack on that use it to get on the heavy trails.
Stock springs are pretty weak on Rzrs and Generals. As you add stuff to yours you'll likely want to look at some after market dual rate springs otherwise your ground clearance is going to suffer in addition to your ride. Folks like Eibach are a good option for that. Full belly skid plate is essential as others have mentioned. Comms and intercom can be super nice to make talking with your passengers easier and also car-to-car comms easier. PCI and Rugged Radios do good intercoms and you can do various Ham radios along with them to integrate with the intercom.Lighting you're familiar with so I won't even mention that. Go for a hardened poly rear window. Inexpensive and holds up pretty well. Greatly reduces dust etc blowing/sucking in the rear when. you have a front window. Spare tire carrier for those times when you are out and away and do not want to walk when you get a sidewall cut.
Mike that's great,can't go wrong with buying property.I hope it helps expand LLOD and more cool videos.I have to say I know alot of people who got into the ATV thing,and it's a complete money pit.Zero resale value,but your channel should offset some of the cost.I made tons of cash repairing those things,You are mechanically inclined you should be ok .They are lots of fun.Keep up the great content,can't wait to see your new place.
Appreciate it, and yeah the property will be a great addition I think!
I have a 2017 general and I take it hunting up here in Alaska, very capable machines, I would suggest a clutch kit especially running bigger tires.
Try 2" wheel spacers, rock sliders, front and rear window, light bars, rear rack and possibly removal of sway bar and adding limiter straps depending on your ride style.
For tracks on there,
Checkout “Matt tracks” based in karlstad Minnesota.
Tracks are nice but can really screw you if you throw a track. with standard tires, if one tire or wheel is damaged you can just replace with spare or just drive on the wheel. Cane do that with tracks
This looks like a badass bugout vehicle, take it out and do a solo overnighter! Hot tent, packable woodstove and bugout stuff
In the future would be cool to see you go do some super off grid camping trip but for now just a simple around the property review and how helpful it really is..also a plus to do one stock and then another with more mods
Shock Therapy spring kit and valving. This is one of the most versatile machines to have at your disposal so make it ride right.
I like the color; it would match the taco without the wrap
Take your wrap off your Tacoma so it matches! Put a plow on the side by side
double quicksand colors
Wrap the side by side to match the Tacoma?
@@rickmorty7166 nah. His Tacoma is wrapped. The original paint is the same color as the Polaris
Shock therapy and seats !!! There a must
Definitely some overland and kitting it out videos
So did Polaris send that out for just a review or for you to keep?
Trust me they didnt give it to him to keep. More of a reduced price. There’s channels much bigger then his that are alot more informed that still dont get one of these given to them.
GFC Ultralight RTT. I don’t know much about SxS. I used a John Deere Gator on my in-laws farm and the dump bed is really good for firewood, hay & dirt.
GLASS windshield... not a plastic one that scratches up with dirt and mud...
Full doors for your heater, wider tires, gmrs radio, perimeter lighting, water tank for bed comes in handy for your planting, tool bin, bed rails for deeper bed capacity, slow moving vehicle sign on the back, sand dune flag, and fire suppression of some sorts.
I have a Ranger XP (2008) and one of the things I always wanted to do was camp out of it, but I never have. Would love to see you pack up the rig and hit some less traveled trails!
Definitely want to see all the mods on the General. Maybe comparison of choices and why you pick the one you choose.
It would be cool to see some mountain bike / bike packing videos with this thing!
Love it can't wait to see what you do to it
Great video! Which wheels and tires are you running on the Tacoma?
I’m not jealous at all. 🤧. Congratulations on the new ride. Enjoy.
I just bought the same thing except in two seater. Will be real interested in all the mods you do and trail riding plus maintaining it.
The two seaters are so cool
I’d be mainly interested in the utility capabilities, but would also love to see what fun upgrades you go with.
That Polaris is sick! Would really like getting one for our property 👍
This might not help but yes... to everything do it all!!
if you are gonna be driving that in weather, a full glass windshield with wiper helps. put a velocirax 5 bike carrier on that thing and get way out there (because that general can do it) to ride your ebike.
First upgrade I would do is get a full windshield for the polaris, I would also get the full doors. I’m down to see some trail ripping, and camping adventures, tricking it out with some tracks would be interesting to see how capable it actually is.
Let’s take it golfing. Hell of a golf cart!
Can't wait to seeing you bouncing around in your new general!
I have a stepdown model of the same machine (deluxe). I have bought a lot of my features through UTV direct, and got a great price. Things I have added are front and rear windshield, soft cover sides, rack in the back to increase storage, and tracks. I would like to see how to do a lot of the maintenance. For example, how to install the tracks, how to change the belt if needed, changing oil, etc. I know this doesn't apply to your machine, but I have wondered if I could upgrade my machine to something similar to yours. For example, I would like to install A-arms similar to yours, and I would like to have more clearance, and bigger tires like you have.
So I see you have a Tacoma. I've got a 2015 TRD pro supercharged that I'm selling and the resale is similar to a new general. I'm wondering if I should just keep the Tacoma as my sxs as it has more range, fully enclosed, decent fuel economy, will almost go where a sxs will go and can get 22mpg and run 130mph. Seems to cancel out a sxs. What am I missing?
32’s for sure. Also may want to check out a new roll cage, the stock one is a two piece system and I’ve seen it buckle.
Those full size doors are going to come in clutch for winter/muddy driving, they will keep you dry!
That must be a new feature. How are the larger doors tied into the the transmission?
Pioneer the side by side overland experience. Would love to see where you could take that! Keep up the great videos Mike!
Post a video of it later on and show all the accessories you add to it and how you use it! Looks awesome man!
Did you go straight for this rig or did you look at anything in comparison such as the Can Am Commander 1000 Max XT? If you did look at both or any others, what set this Polaris apart from the others in terms of your needs and wants? Been dying to have something like this for quite some time now just hard to decide. Thanks
Acquiring all kinds of great stuff is fun to see. I'm not a van guy, I have a 2017 stock 4Runner that I'm slowly going to kit out, BUT, you mentioned that you got van envy from Talon. Are you still planning a van build? Keep adding to the collection Mike. Always enjoy your content. Merry Christmas. Tom
Planning to, yup! Gonna try to in 2021, but my resources are getting pulled in a lot of different directions...
Honestly do what you want with it, it’s your rig but just make sure to show the full functionality and all the build process and sort of what you can do with these things on a real practical and useful level. I see plenty of turbocharged rzrs, which is awesome, but it’ll be cool to see the actual use you can get out if these things rather than them just being toys.
All the above around house, trails,hunting and mods
Cool! Love the color scheme!
I would like to see you doing your normal Weekendlander camping setup as a base camp and riding trails with the General.
I'm super stoked for you to get your property! Hopefully it'll have a place for a shooting range.
Not sure if they have anything for this exact model, but Quack Rack has cool utility racks for rangers.
I want to see everything. Lol base camp idea is a dream of mine. Also install stuff.
Side by side review of this utv against the turbo rzr. Would be nice to see the comparison from someone on how they differ behind the wheel. Maybe a ham radio set up in there. Would be cool to see and report back to base or the truck when needed.
We love our ranger. Hopefully y’all will to. We take ours trail riding and some pretty rough trails as well. I would love to see some videos using the general. We are planning on a long weekend camping and trail riding this coming spring . I would suggest using it stock first. You will be surprised what you can do.
Yeah, I've ridden around in some relatively stock ones and always been impressed!
Definitely want to see it with tracks in the backcountry. A rooftop tent would allow for camping at some crazy places
any thoughts of bigger offroad tires and maybe have it wrapped in multicam like your truck
Man you should wrap it Multicam like your pickup, that would look soooo sick.
Mike, definitely get some light bars. Also If you would like to do some heavy off-roading I would recommend getting some beefier control arms. I’ve already bent one on my Polaris rzr. I highly recommend the plow btw. I live in Utah and have a long driveway and it it a great accessory.
1: MultiCam Black wrap
2: finding a good way to mount a lil truck gun to defend Ashley’s chickens from the coyotes
Very excited too see this in future vids. You just know Mike is going to max it out kit wise 🤙🏻 Also speak to Maxx Powell on how not to drive them (If you know, you know 🤣🤣)
