  • If i need it i usually try to make it before i buy it....today i whipped up a new windshield for the Ranger. Some plastic mounting straps from Amazon, a sheet of 1/4” Renovo (recycled Polycarbonate) from Interstate Advanced Materials Sacramento Ca, and a CNC got the job done. No more windchill 🥶 #smd #polaris #ranger #1000 #4 #seater
    here is the product i used www.interstate...
    Renovo-MPC™ clear polycarbonate is a tough sheet material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Made from reclaimed post-consumer and industrial polycarbonate, Renovo-MPC™ is fully sustainable while retaining the properties of general-purpose extruded polycarbonate, including its outstanding optical clarity, high light transmission, and low haze. Renovo-MPC™ is a closed loop material that is lightweight, shatter-resistant, and has a higher impact resistance than glass. Like general-purpose polycarbonate, this material may be thermoformed, sawed, routed, drilled, and is hot and cold bendable.
    Renovo-MPC™ is manufactured in the U.S. and may be used toward LEED Materials and Resources credits in some applications.

    I don't check in here much these day's as im super busy with my life but i'm a Loooooong ass time follower here just came to say the evolution of you is fucking beautiful and so inspiring, i remember the very early videos when you just had the tahoe with the 4 18's in the trunk and the civic you gave to your son with the 2 18's, i always knew from your mindset you were destined for big things, you still look the the exact same after all these years too! keep living your best life brother, the best is still yet to come.

    Now you need to fabricate a back windshield. Riding in dirt will draw dust in the back of your side x side also while you at it might as well make a kicking sound system for it! Nice Job!!!

      night and day difference. I mean, my other RZR has a windshield so this is no surprise. But my war-pony (the Ranger 1000) hasn't had one since i got it last year and it reminded me real quick last winter what it was like NOT to have one. The difference is i didn't have lasers and CNC machines when i bought my last one for the RZR :D

    I'm surprised you didn't add in some half doors or some kind of side wind blockers as well then you're basically like riding in a 4x4 smart car but way more badass 😜

    • @kevinAuman1
      @kevinAuman1 2 роки тому

      Hell you could add some little brackets and just put a small piece at a 45deg angle to deflect the wind around the pass compartment even then it's not in your way or anything 🤔

    • @meade916
      @meade916  2 роки тому

      i will probably eventually get doors but as far as a "side wind blocker" there is no need. It's not windy in there anymore.
