Hey all, been a long time since I've been on here and need some pointers from those that upgraded from a older ('14) 4 seater to a '17 4 seater turbo.
I was interested in swapping a lot of my stuff over to the new buggy. Here's a list of some of the more important items and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions.
1) aftermarket cage, should bolt right up, no?
2) RCV axles, my understanding is only the rears will work, the fronts are different.
3) control arms? Can I swap my old ones over?
4) I'm assuming wheels, winch, seats, bumpers (I thought I read the rear was different)
5) Is the stock cage still junk or have they upgraded the thickness and design?
A few questions now...
1) I heard the heat was way worse on the 4 turbo. Any other suggestions other than insulating the inside of the tunnel? I was suggested that someone makes a radiator relocation kit, thoughts/opinions?
2) do I need to upgrade axles? (I'm planning on swapping my 32" roctanes)
3) do I need clutching with the turbo?
4) Though this particular question isn't specific to the turbo, has anyone tried a different skid plate other than the UHMW ones out? The last one I bought was a 2 piece that was like 1/2" that was heavy as hell. Anyone come out with a better idea/product in the last couple of years? I was thinking of trying aluminum (never did before since it'll gouge and won't slide as well as UHMW) but I'd like something different/better.
Thanks ya'll, sorry for so many questions
