Destination Polaris is back in the SuperATV shop, and like clockwork, we’ve put together another awesome build. This time we had a special request: to make a hunting-focused custom Polaris General for country singer, the one and only Easton Corbin.
Easton’s been making waves with his quintessential country vocals and melodies since he appeared on the scene in 2009. He’s a country man through and through, so it was time for SuperATV to transform a 2018 Polaris General into a camo-clad hunter’s dream. Our goal was to make something striking and awesome at first sight, and something multifunctional and fun that the four-time gold single certified artist would be proud of.
Here’s what we did.
The Polaris General four-seater is a tough machine. With 100 HP and 1,500 lb. of towing capacity, it’s not a bad choice for hitting the backwoods straight from the lot. But there were a few things it needed before it was up to SuperATV’s and Easton Corbin’s standards.
First, we had to give Easton’s new General some protection, so we added our Rear Bumper and Heavy-Duty Nerf Bars, as well as a one-off custom front bumper designed to give easy access to our 5000 Lb. Black Ops Winch*. You can’t go off in the wilderness without a heavy-duty winch to pull you out of trouble, and no winch does it better than Black Ops.
For real bulletproof protection, we installed our Full Skid Plate made with our proprietary ARMW material. Easton won’t have to worry about sticks and stones coming up through his floorboards with this virtually indestructible skid plate.
*This product is no longer available. Black Ops Winches are currently available in 2500, 3500, 4500, 6000, and 12,000 lb. applications.
To protect Easton from branches that hit a little higher, we installed our Scratch-Resistant Flip Windshield. It’s made of unbreakable polycarbonate, which is 250 times stronger than glass, and the XR Optic Hard Coating on both sides keeps it from scratching and scuffing. It can be fully open let air in, vented to keep it cool while still providing protection from bugs and branches, or fully closed when the air gets too chilly.
We weren’t content with just making it tough—we had to give this custom build some lift to make sure Easton can roll with it wherever he wants.
To give it the clearance it needs, we started with our 3″ Lift Kit, then doubled down on clearance by installing SuperATV’s High Clearance Front A-Arms and High-Clearance 1.5” Rear Offset A-Arms. Not only does the unique design of these arms help the General clear brush and rocks without getting hung up, but they also come with a lifetime warranty.
From there, we slapped 30″ RT Warrior Tires* on our Healy Fast Series Beadlock Wheels*. RT Warriors do some serious earth crunching with a one-of-a-kind tapered pyramid lug, ejector ribs, and heavy siping. It’s the most advanced tread on the market, and it looks good, too. With all that traction, the ride is smooth whether Easton is all over the woods or all over the road.
*This product is no longer available.
So how did all that affect his clearance? The General 4 has 12″ of clearance from the factory. With high-clearance A-arms, a 3″ lift, and bigger tires, Easton’s custom General is up to 18-1/2″ of clearance. Not too bad.
It’s a good start for a custom Polaris General 4, but we wanted to make it a little more country than that.
The first step to getting this machine ready for some backwoods hunting was to give it some visual obfuscation. For that, we chose a woodland camo wrap. From tail to tip, we made sure to cover every surface with camo.
A hunter needs to be able to haul his kill, right? We included two racks on Easton’s machine: one over the bed and one on the roof, so there’s plenty of storage for trophies and supplies. The roof rack has our 40″ Straight Double Row LED Light Bar in the front and flanking 12″ LED Combination Spot/Flood Light Bars built right in for illumination in all directions.
We also wanted to give Easton the perfect place to keep decoys and spare ammo, so we removed the rear passenger side seat and replaced it with a cargo box. There’s plenty of room for deer and turkeys on the two racks, while the cargo box is reserved for ammo, decoys, food, clothes, drinks, and whatever else he might need for his next expedition.
Finally, we took the whole roll cage—racks and all—along with the bumpers, nerf bars, A-arms, and even the shock springs, and powder coated them brown to match the woodland camo wrap. From top to bottom, this machine is ready for any hunting adventure Easton wants.
As you can imagine, Easton’s got some pretty high standards when it comes to the speakers on his machine. We had to go big, so we went to ProBox.
We installed four Pro-II 10″ tower speakers on the rear cross bar and another four Pro-II speaker drivers in the bed using a custom fiberglass bed box enclosure. The 1000-watt Bluetooth-enabled amplifier means Easton can control the music, volume, and LED color (oh yeah, every speaker has integrated RGB LED lighting) right from his phone. We also installed a wheel well RGB LED light kit from ProBox that syncs with the Pro-II speaker lights for one eye-catching show. Not to mention, it’s all waterproof. Awesome.
Are you with me so far? It sounds perfect for a country singer, right? Well, we’re not quite done yet.
Easton is a performer, so we wanted to let him perform. We included a compact mixer that lets him whip out a guitar and mic anywhere he wants and let his dulcet country pipes fill the air. With enough wattage to fill a concert hall, he can put on an awesome concert anywhere he wants—complete with a light show.
Yep, this is one awesome machine for the country artist that knows how to make use of a kitted-out UTV like this. With this one-of-a-kind SuperATV custom build, he can ride, hunt, and jam easily. Doing all three at the same time might be a problem, but we know Easton can’t help but say “lovin’ you is fun” while he rides through backwoods Tennessee—tunes up, rifle at the ready, and guitar strings twangin’. If somebody’s gotta be country, might as well be Easton Corbin.
