We have a 2021 General XP4 1000. Another great perk of a General and RZR is cheaper insurance. It’s considered a work Utv while the rzr is a sport utv.

@OurLifeInTrees 2 ай бұрын

That’s very true! My insurance really did go down with the General. Neither are very cheap though because I have them street legal. Sigh….

for your velcro door problem...I bought a new roll of high quality velcro and put new where the old was on the tube frame. it works amazing compared to the stock. I left the velcro on the door piece itself. Great Video

Thanks. Good tip. I’ll try new Velcro. Glad you liked it.

Thank you for this very informative video. I purchased one and pick it up this weekend. We want to use ours for some overlanding trips. What trailer do you pull behind yours?

@OurLifeInTrees Ай бұрын

Awesome! Congrats. Check out a few pictures of my little utility trailer in this video around 21:45. Nothing fancy. Just more space for hauling stuff around the property.

Look into the Only Generals roof peak filler, I see yours is warped like most end up, it will fix that right up, it also stops any wind from coming in there that can cause a whistle.

Wow! Never saw that. You are right. I need to get that!! I have their mirror triangles I still need to install. lol I’m an admin on the 2020+ generals Facebook group and I never saw that. I see the posts now. Dang. Good looking out!

Did you use a plug & play wiring harness with the Rigidhorse light bar?

@OurLifeInTrees 3 ай бұрын

I used the Auxbeam switch panel. I ran the light bar to the 30amp fuse. Made wiring it all super easy. Unfortunately, they aren’t cheap. amzn.to/3xcck9v

@@OurLifeInTrees Thanks. I haven’t found a plug & play harness rated high enough for that light bar and I don’t think I’ll have enough accessories to justify the Auxbeam.

@@OurLifeInTrees I looked at it, but couldn’t find any specs for it online. I ended up buying the curved Rigidhorse light bar, because it has a lower power rating, and a compatible plug & play harness from Amazon.

@@FlyingHWoodworks the curved one might be better. I had to add cube lights to the bumper so that I can see to the sides around turns.
