title says it all. i meshed together a 2002 scrambler 500 4x4 frame and a 2008 outlaw 500 IRS frame. so now my scram has IRS! it rides like a dream. this is how polaris should have made the newer scrambler models instead of just redesigning new plastics.

ill start posting progress build pics:

bought a brand new rear drive line. i had to swap the rear sprocket to the right side and shim it about 3/8" to align it with the tranny drive sprocket.





i had to cut off and swap over various bracketry to mount everything properly. then it was time to start swapping parts. motor tranny etc...

welded on some mounting tabs for the scrambler plastics and it was finally starting to look like a scrammy.





i bought an HMF can from ebay and had to modify the inlet pipe slightly to make it fit thru the frame. went to a local exhaust shop and had them bend tome stainless tubing to match my pro circuit pipe that i previously had installed on the scrammy. had a buddy who tig welds stainless pipe for a living, weld it up for me.

now its pretty much done! i just need to make a few tweaks here and there as i test ride it and break it in.

Awesome one of a kind machine! If I hadn't turned a hobby into a job I would have loved to have done something like this. Except my attempts at welding liked a lot to be desired... Send some pics to Polaris in Medina,who knows what may happen..

Awesome. Not only do you own a one of a kind custom ATV but you have the pride of building it yourself.

Love it.
I like the other details as well, like you winch position (cable out of nose) ,center pipe ,speedo cluster and mean looking headlights.

Wow!!! That looks great. I always liked how the Outlaw looked and that you had lots of adustability on the rear IRS. Didn't have a lot of use for 2wd on the rough trails in New England. I imagine you got this made for a ton less than the new 850 Scrambler costs. Very nice!

The Scrambler 850 is just a XP850 with sporty plastic and no racks.
Take the plastics and bumpers off both machine and no one would know which is which.

I think the Scrambler 850 has better shocks but nothing else different.
