RZR 4 seat conversion

Brian Tecklenburg - Thursday, February 23, 2012

Today's product spotlight is on the RZR 4 Seat Conversion.  This cage bolts on at the stock cage, and down in the rear differential area with our special support plate.  These are basically the obvious benefits of the cage, but there are a few points about this cage that might not be so obvious at first glance.  

First, this cage is also made from our standard .095 wall DOM, making it more than twice as strong as the stock cage.  Why does this matter you ask?  Because not only does it protect your little ones in the back, but it stiffens up the stock cage quite a bit.  the clamping design prevents the stock cage from being easily compressed in a sideways roll (the most common kind) and it protects the a Pillar collapse by adding rear diagonal support.  Additionally the RZR 4 seat conversion protects the stock cage by adding another point of connection to the chassis, at the rear differential, this means the force of impact is now spread over 6 connection points to the machine, rather than 4.

Second, this cage increases seating capacity, so you can make UTV'ing a family affair, but doesn't increase wheel base.  This cage only extends the RZR by a mere 8 inches, this makes for a far smaller trailer requirement than a 4 seat factory machine.  This means that most people can keep using their same old trailer that worked for their RZR when it was a 2 seater.  The Cage is specially designed to not sit too high either.  Most customers can fit their machine inside a toy hauler, this is not always the case with a RZR 4 or teryx 4.

The system is light weight.  The cage, seat, hardware, and belts only come in at 120 lbs, this means it is well under the factory rated 300lb bed rating, and affects the handling only minimally.  Some riders increase the spring weight but most find the stock suspension more than adequate.  This means the same old RZR sharp performance you have grown to love will still be there with the 4 seat conversion, but with the added fun of being able to fit kids and grandkids in the back.

Easily installed and removed.  The 4 seat extensions can be installed in about 1 hour with only 2 guys working on it.  This is because it is fixture built to hit all the right locations easily, and they are simple in interface.  These cages can also be removed in about 15 minutes, so if you want to make the swap ocasionally you don't need a vehicle lift or any special tools, an allen wrench, some sockets and you're in business.  Offering you some versatility if you don't often use the rear seat.

The RZR 4 seat conversions are the best way to increase seating capacity safely, cost effectively, and quickly.
