Hey all! I don't post much on here but I wanted to share what I have done with my Talon so far and what products I used. You can also see videos of it and the groups we ride with and film. We try to make as many videos as possible as often as possible!

To start, I did purchase the Kraftwerks Turbo Kit and I have to say its pretty impressive! The install took me about 7 hours and I have never done anything like this. All in all it was pretty simple. I am using the tune from PPEI which includes updated shift points for more efficiency and the jerky gas pedal is all but gone now. Erik at PPEI is awesome! Here is the link to the kit:

I also installed the GDP 4" Dual-Idler Portals which has given my added ride height, base width and clearance. I am beyond happy with these so far. I purchased these through Dell's Deals along with the Frame Stiffener, the Half Inch Skid Plate and 35" Maxxis Roxxzilla tires so they gave me a really good deal for the package deal. Here is the link to the Portals on the SATV website.

I got my Turn Signals and Horn Kit through TurnPro UTV. The owners name is Grant Gamble and he's one hell of a guy. They sell all kinds of parts and accessories. Great company and great people! Here is the link to his website:

I went from stock tires to System 3 SB5 wheels with a 5/2 offset to 32" STI Chicane RX tires and jsut upgraded those to the 35% Maxxis Roxxzilla Tires with the Sticky Compound. Man, what a difference these made in Moab last week on my first test run!

Last, my custom cage is from WarHead Offroad (the Titan model) and I can tell you that in my opinion it is the toughest and best looking cage out there. It also has the spare tire mount with a 200lb shock so you can raise it up to get into your bed box. They are based out of West Virginia and the owner's name is Chris Reynolds. He is one Hell of a guy and good at what he does. He makes cages, rock sliders, bumpers, full custom everything. He is designing like crazy and is getting ready to release some new products of which I will get the first ones made. Ill be sure to share them when I get them in the next week or so. Here is the link to his website:
