  1. Hey there, I have a 2020 Tracker SVX1000 and am also interested in a lift so I can run larger wheels/tires with a higher offset. My understanding is the 2108-2020 Stampede's, Havoc's (Not Havoc X) & SVX1000's are all mechanically identical.... Sidebysidestuff carried a 2" lift for $1200 at one point but they are out of stock (Link below) ... Haven't seen any other options surface yet... https://www.sidebysidestuff.com/high-lifter-2-inch-lift-kit-w-control-arms-textron-stampede.html I am wondering if stock Havoc X suspension parts might be close enough for a creative retrofit (Might get expensive quick if you have to lengthen shafts...). Maybe you could find someone with old parts to play with who upgraded their Havoc X from stock... They make some nice suspension upgrades for the Havoc X for sure... Side note - I also use mine for hunting & am installing a new muffler with additional resonator next weekend to try & quiet it down. I currently have to yell to my passengers IF they can hear me... My local wildlife seem to lack appreciation for all the combined racket..
  2. Try DEI Powersports for heat reduction. They are making some custom heat shielding packages to keep engine heat where it belongs. They make both heat reflective kits and heat expelling fan kits to push cool air in /circulate the heat back out. They don't make a kit specific to Textron / Artic Cat/ Tracker yet but you can buy the adhesive back reflective insulation and customize it to fit... Works really well to deaden some sound but especially to keep the heat from transferring into the cab... I just baked driving/especially climbing up in 105 degree heat in Hell's canyon last summer but, after adding some of this across & under my seat back firewall facing the engine - It's way better... I also replaced my flat windshield with a fold down version to let the breeze in despite wearing a few bugs. . I'll be adding a circulating exhaust fan under the seat next. DEI is doing some pretty innovative stuff to reduce heat so check it out... The more we ask, the more likely they will likely add kit options specific to our rigs... You can also look to add a Silent Rider slide on Muffler or Kolpin Stealth Exhaust kit to deaden a lot of the exhaust sound... Thanks!
  3. Hey there - There are tons of aftermarket accessory shops for your 800SX; UTVsource , sidebysidestuff , countrycat , theutvsuperstore and my personal favorite, Ebay... Amazon has some items as well. Just do a google search on 800SX accessories and go nuts. I have installed about every upgrade option you can possibly add on my 800SX TTE (other than hard doors or snow plows) and above is where I purchased 90% of my stuff. I do recommend a folding front windshield if you trailer or drive in the hot summer as it's a welcome relief to have a breeze on really hot days. There is quite a bit of heat that come through the seat & floorboards from the engine and even that can be drastically reduced if you add heat shielding from like DEI powersports... Really like the factory under seat storage as it keeps lots of gear organized, separated and sealed tight away from critters & moisture. A curved light bar across the top will light up your world as well. .. I will caution folks though if you add a factory heater... The $900+ factory heater is a HUGE pain to install (literally takes 20+ hours) because of the 4 separate plastic 90degree elbows you have to independently align in mounting at the firewall. You get one aligned and then next one pops it off. You finally get 2 aligned, the third pops of 1 or both of the 1st two and so on and so on and so on.... It takes hours, lots of increasing cussing and infinite perseverance to finally get all 4 aligned and THEN you have to carefully ratchet the whole thing up to the firewall without popping one of the 4 off. A couple buddies (Ration your beer proportionately as it's going to take a while), Gorilla/Duct tape will help to hold them in place but again, it still takes hours. I curse the designer of this for making the elbows hard plastic vs flexible rubber as that would make all the difference! After you mount the heatercore/blower unit, you will also find 2 of the 4 duct housings in the kit are too short to reach the dash vent outlets so - plan on improvising in advance or cutting a 2 foot section out of your shop vac to lengthen both a foot. The heater integrates nicely once installed & they work very well but the blower is also really noisy on med or high... Hard to talk over noisy... If I had to do it over again, I would have soundproofed the blower housing a bit before install. I believe an aftermarket Inferno heater would work just as well and install in a fraction of the time for half the cost... Just my 2 cents! I'd post pics but don't see the option on the menu... Thanks and enjoy!
