2014 Polaris 570 RZR.. ( like the one I gave up ) With monster wheels !
The best deal on Marketplace was only an hours drive. With almost all the goodies I like. However those HUGE wheels need to go bye bye.. They give the ATV a lumpy ride. I have a set of stock wheels to replace them and I’ll sell the big set. I did have a few extra features on my previous 570 RZR, like power steering, horn, glove box, Here’s a photo from the past..
I also had a bush guard and a LED light bar. And in the back a nice lockable trunk that fit my chainsaw. But you know I will personalize the new RZR.
So I had already purchased a good trailer in anticipation of finding a 570 RZR. And it turned out to be the perfect size and tows very nice.
I’ll be storing the RZR in the trailer with a cover (ordered). Remember I bought a set of factory wheels with tires from a local person.. They are the perfect size for the 570 RZR, and look the same as what I had before. However the tires are badly worn. New tires have been ordered.
Missing the centre caps , Oh well . Mechanically the new RZR is good.. I did drive it on a trail for a km, and ran it through the gears.. All good ! But any thoughts of keeping those big wheels disappeared…with a rough ride.. and they rub while steering.
Comes with Polaris aluminum doors. The seats are good , and that bag between the seats is the same bag I had.. Handy! Not sure about those ammo boxes in front of the seats. The dash is a little bit messy. I’ll need more switches when I’m done adding things. Ordered the switch plate that holds five rocker switches.
The far left switch is for the heater fan !!! Yes this RZR has HEAT. You can see the defrost vents. The next switch is of coarse the factory 4 wheel drive switch. The little red switch is an interior light on the roof. I’m thinking of changing that to one with it’s own switch. And of coarse the standard 12 volt outlet. That will get moved to on the top of the dash for a future GPS. And the winch control will change to a wireless one, plus a dash switch.
Here we go !
A whole bunch of goodies came this week. That will clean up the dash, give me a horn, and identify themselves. And here they are..
They make a nice lighted rocker switch for everything ! In the middle slot will be the factory 4×4 switch. Not sure about the placement order of the switches yet.. Hey my new tires have arrived.
The proper size and hopefully a smoother ride.
Update.. All serviced now and the new tires installed. Removed a few annoying things.. And now introducing my new 570 RZR…
Don’t those wheels look more realistic. There is still a few things to do on the dash.. But for now it’s back on the trailer with the cover on. Maybe a few rides in June . Oh And I did sell those big tires and wheels.. Looking forward to hitting the trails..
Mid June 2025:
Yes I did get to go on a ride. It was great ! Despite the dust I was very happy to be out on the trails again. 71 kms and the Red RZR did just fine.. Only one hiccup with the headlights not working in the tunnel. I just assume they would work ..but nope.. So I’ll have to have a look see what’s going on there. Could just be the switch. Any way I shot a quick video on the rail trail at the first tunnel. The camera adjusted to the lack of light ,but my eye’s didn’t.
Another ride is planned for the end of the month, and I’ll have a better mount for the camera. And I’ll have the headlights working too by then.
