The Grizz needs to be wider. The hubs are way out there, but the rims are so inset the rear track is only 43" wide, the Sportsman is 47" and out powerslides it big time. That's the only thing the Sportsman does better, This is the ***** in the armor of the new Grizzly. Just like the Raptor, it is too damn narrow. So new wheels with an offset to widen it up by about 6" in back and 3"or 4" in front.
Skyler had parked his Raptor for a ride on the new Grizz, and just like the time he first rolled his Trail Boss two years ago, he was racing our friend David, who goes ridiculously fast for a 300 lb guy on a Honda Foreman. Skyler was in front and was out of sight of David, when he hit a turn too fast, couldn't power out of it and high-sided into a tree. No damage other than a big scratch on his leg and a little dent in the gas tank of the new Grizz.

Then the fan goes in the DS, it overheats, spewing coolant. After it had cooled off, it had recovered almost all of the coolant from the spill bottle and was fine, just no more fan.
This is the desert. The DS is from Canada. I want two fans. I think there is room for another fan in front of the radiator, below the existing one. The extra fan should help protect the other fan and help cool the exhaust as it is too close to the stock fan. But it has to be a pusher instead of a puller. I'll find something. Any Suggestions?????

You might try the SPAL web site, they are the OEM for the bomb fan and have some dual fans - maybe a place to start
