[0:00] What’s up, guys? Are you looking for more cargo capacity on your Polaris RZR? Well SuperATV has you covered with our Cargo Rack for the Polaris RZR. Today we’re going to show you how to install it, so let’s get right to it.
The first thing you want to do is remove all four of your rear cage bolts. We’ve previously had a cargo system on this machine so we don’t have our OEM bolts, but yours will be there. There will be two 15 mms on each side. Go ahead and remove them.
As you can see, ours are already removed. Then we’re going to grab our side mounts. We’ll have one for the driver’s side that will sit just like this. Then there will be one for the passenger side that will sit like this.
[0:49] We’ll start over here on the driver’s side. You’ll notice when you removed your factory bolts, your nuts would just fall down behind here. What I like to do is pull one of them out and set it aside, then get the other one, which will be the lower.
Obviously, we’ll want to put that one in first. That just makes it a lot easier than doing the top and then the bottom.
We’ll take it off and feed it up toward the loop.
[1:22] Alright, once we’ve lined it up, we’ll lay our side mount up like this. Take the provided Allen-headed hardware that’s in the kit. Thread it right into the nut. Once it’s somewhat started, I like to take my ratchet and get a couple good turns on it. That way we know it won’t back off.
There we go—we’ve got that started. Now we’ll do the same thing with the upper nut. Take the other Allen-headed screw from the hardware kit. We don’t want to tighten these just yet. Just get them good and started.
Then repeat the same steps for the opposite side. We have one started. Again, we’ll just run these in a little bit. Make sure they’re good and started.
[2:51] Our side mounts are on. Now we’re going to grab our cross bar. Remove all of the 10 mm screws holding the cage bracket on. Set these aside for just a second.
We’re going to take a cross bar and try to get it as centered as we possibly can. Once it’s laid up, you can rotate this down. Slide your clamp on and line up your holes, then start your screws. I like to do one on top as well as one on bottom, that way it holds it in place a little bit there.
We’ve got one on top and we’ll do one on the bottom. Then we’ll start the rest of our screws in the other two holes. I like to run these down by hand as far as they’ll go, so it’ll look just like that.
[3:55] Then do the same on the opposite side. Line it up and start a couple of screws. This side is much easier because now the opposite side is holding some of that tension for you.
We’ll start them and run them down. Once you have them kind of touching, they’ll stay in place a little better for you. If you look right here, where the stock harness mounts, we’re looking at the difference between the harness mount to the actual cross bar. We want that to be the same on either side.
If you set it up perfectly, that will be the center of the cage. So you can take a measurement from here and make sure your measurements are the same.
[4:37] Ours are pretty close, so we’ll go ahead and snug up the hardware just a little bit. We may have to move it around and get this as flat as we can.
Alright, that’s pretty flat. We’ll just snug this side up really quick.
Now that we have our brackets on and everything’s mocked up in place where it needs to be, we’ll grab the top portion of our cargo system. I’m going to try and line it up with the latches.
[5:26] We’ll lift up on the cargo system and line our hole up. Once that’s in line, take this bushing and slide it all the way through. Then we’ll slide our sleeve into the bushing and get our M10 hardware.
Slide it through, then on the inside, we’ll take our Nyloc nut. Start it. Then go over to the opposite side and repeat the same steps.
Next, we’ll line it up with the latches on both sides. Get it to latch. We’ll see where and how far we can pull our latches in order for them to make good contact, but also not make contact on the inside, where it could cause it to get hung up.
[6:38] This side is set up how we want it. We’ll tighten the hardware up—make sure you get those bolts really tight. Do the same thing for the opposite side.
Next, we’ll grab our gas strut and attach it in two locations. Take the nut off of the gas strut and slide it through, just like this. Take the nut off of the other side and slide it in right there.
Let’s put our nut on, and then repeat the same step for the opposite side. Fully tighten the hardware. Go through and check to make sure it’s still latching well. Make sure your gas struts are working.
[7:58] Close it down. Everything looks good, we’ll fully tighten all of the hardware. Make sure everything’s good and tight. When you tighten these bolts, make sure you get them tight but don’t overtighten them. Otherwise, that will make it hard for your cargo system to function properly.
In the kit, you’ll have some panels that you can install if you’d like. If you do want to install them, we send the hardware to do so. It’ll be your short M10 bolts. You can place them in a variety of ways.
[8:52] I’ll give you a quick example of how we’re going to set this one up. We’ll install it just like this. Drop the hardware down through here, as well as here. Then we’ll go to the bottom side. Start our nuts.
This doesn’t affect the functionality of the cargo system whatsoever. If you want to do something different on top, that’s totally up to you. This is just a start to doing some organization or utilizing the panels however you’d like.
[9:33] Once they’re installed how you want, you can fully tighten that hardware.
As you can see, the SuperATV Cargo Rack for the Polaris RZR is built for battle. If you guys have any more questions on this cargo system or any of SuperATV’s great products, feel free to give us a call or check us out online. Thanks for watching and we’ll catch you next time!
