Our Mission: To build up a new stock 2009 Polaris Ranger XP with our most popular UTV accessories, and to let the owner's grandson's do it all to prove that it's so easy a kid can do it!

We took the Ranger for it’s maiden
voyage on a quick run around the deer lease the other day and
the plastic CV boot protectors from the factory lasted about
15 minutes before we ripped one off, leaving the CV joint boot
exposed just waiting for a stick to damage it.

I got so busy helping the boys get lined out on the project,
that I didn't take but a couple of pics during the front install...
There really wasn't a lot to it; jack up the Ranger, bolt
on the protector and that was pretty much it.

After jacking up the Ranger, and putting a jackstand under
the rear receiver hitch; remove the wheel. Once the wheel
is off, you'll see a small plastic factory rear CV guard that
needs to be removed.

EMP's rear CV protectors are a two piece
design; consisting of a large skid plate and a steel CV guard
to replace the flimsy plastic one removed above.

Once the large skid plate is bolted in,
then install the CV boot guard right behind the sway bar link.

How many S.M.I.T.'s does it take to put
a wheel on? Two - one to lift the wheel into position, and
one to align wheel studs.

Now we are ready to hit the trails without
having to worry about the CV boots getting ripped to shreds!
