I have a SP 500 2000 with a tube bumper and a warn 2000 lb wench. It acts like a bulldozer going through the mud. I was wondering if anyone is using the brush guard bumper, and does it make enough of a difference to upgrade. Even if it doesn't make much of a difference in the mud, I was wondering what you guys thought of it before I buy it.

I haven't tried to talk my dealer down, but they are trying to sell it to me for the same price I can get it for off the Polaris web page. Right now Polaris dosen't charge you any shipping or taxes, but they down have any in stock. What is the best price you guys have got it for?

I have one my Sportsman and I really like it. I put bed liner coating over it also. It seems to provide enough protection. I've been taking the wheeler and running over 3" trees that are standing on my property. The bumper is as good as it was when I first bought it. I like how it protects the rack so nice. It also gave me a few more places to tie down things on my front rack. I hook my bungee or tie down straps to the brush guards over the light. It's a little easier than trying to fish the hook through the holes in the composite rack. I payed the same price as it listed on the Polaris web page.

I have the new brush guard on my xpedition. I bought it for front end protection. I like the bumper. I don't think its that hard to clean the rad. You just have to get lower and shoot the water up. the bumper is just for good front end protection thats all. I don't see it helping or hindering mud riding. I some how got mine for 76 dollars? I am wondering if my shop made a mistake or sold it cheap because they new Allot of people would see it or what? they did not charge too much to put it on for me either. the brush guard does make the front end of your atv look nice to. Its a looker! rangerchet
