I've been thinkin about gettin one and I was wonderin where you all got yours,
and the cheapest place besides ebay
thanks

 

Believe it or not I got mine from my dealer as they matched internet pricing. But Rocky Mountain ATV is a good source. I have done a lot of business with them over the last few years and have never been disappointed.

 

700Sportsman,

You may also want to spec out the Bodyguard (BG) Rear bumper and compare. I was able to order
the BG Front and Rear racks without needing the actual BG system (Side rail protection). I think they
look good and only priced about $10-20 difference from the original racks. Thats why I say compare.
Get what you can afford and you like, I however am disappointed with my Rear tube bumpers Stock
paint as it comes off easy, and yes I have touched up (Re-painted) my Rear bumper more than any other part on both my Quads, I don't know what it is!

R'

 

i have no atv but purepolaris.com maybe?

 

I got my front and rear deluxe brushguards on my last ATV from my dealer. I'm getting the same thing again next week. I'm sure I could get a flimsy tube bumper cheaper but I like the heavy-duty Polaris parts.

 

Hey R I hear you on the paint chipping. Mines chipped off pretty bad but then again I use them. I do a lot of off trail riding around my house and I push over a lot of small trees and stuff but I still love them. When I first put them on I was a lil disapointed in the front one I felt they could have used heavier duty bolts to put the thing together. One of these days I'm gonna drill them out and put some bigger Grade 8 bolts in. I already did for the rear tube and I didnt like that they were held in by just a thread or two but I used LocTite and havent had a single problem with it. The last time it was at the dealer he even hung it up in the air by a strap around the bumper.


About the place to get them I bought front and back from Breese Lawn and Garden. I think I had less than 180 for both bumpers and they were Pure Polaris. Again the only problem is the chipped paint but a can of flat black spray paint is cheap.

 

The internet may be cheaper on price, but with shipping there isn't much of a difference...
We purchased our bumpers at the same dealer we purchased the ATV's and they installed them since we bought them when we bought the 4 wheelers.
<but I have since taken them off and put them back on and they are easy to install>

Tdawg, those are the same brushguards I got. I like the way they wrap around the headlights. My other quads just had bumpers, not brushguards, and a lot of branches hit the headlights. My dealer installed the free winch and brushguards before I picked up my new wheeler.

Here's a hint that may help someone:
I wanted to check and tighten my winch mounting bolts but the brushguard was in the way. I found out you can take the top 2 bolts out and partially loosen the bottom 2, to swing it out of the way without taking it off. Just swing it back up when you're done and put the 2 bolts back in and tighten all 4. That's a lot easier than trying to hold it up and line up all 4 bolts if you take it off.

 

A couple expansions:

Yea I know what you mean Rowe about
those boogered type threaded bolts they
give you that leaves you with abit insecure feeling,
Same as the winch install too. What I have done
is match up nuts found at my local Home Depot
(winch) hadn't done it to Frt.brushguard
and I think rear bumper won't come out the
back end?

Another point, I have used the Black
Hammered Rustoleum paint for touch
ups. Reg. flat paint would even rub off
after a good wash.

 

Some of the winch and bumper mounting bolts are 1/4" too short to get a good hold on the threads, because the holes are tapered and too wide at the front. It's really easy to replace them with longer bolts, one at a time so everything stays bolted up. That puts them into the good threads at the back of the hole, and it's easier than putting nuts on all of them. I only replaced one, but it would only cost about one or two bucks to do them all.
