I know I am but who else is and what kid of mods do you have planned for it.

I am going to install a 2"-3' lift, 28" or 30" mud tires, snorkel, custom audio system, half-windshield, doors, AC rear bumper, HMF muffler, and AC soft top.

I am on the fence about getting a Prowler 1000. The buildup projects I do are fun, but also lots of work. But the 951cc v-twin efi is very tempting.....

I hear ya Crowdog...I would love to have one, but I think I am just going to have to stick with my Teryx. I completely agree with you though, this is my first build project and it is definately a lot of work!

I am getting one!

This will get me started so i can ride safe this season!
i will do a two seat cage
bed delete with a holder for a big cooler there.
Ultra light wieght is the goal, no spare or rear lights just yet
i will be going with Rigid light set up for sure
i will do +6 long travel and probably Wer shocks
I will do an SSV audio system
New seats and at least 4 point harnesses
the seats will be lowered and re welded about 3 inches, this also allows the suspension seats to work correctly.
Doors for sure
8 or 9 Paddle rear / front buffs
Pci or simular radio system with Ipod hook up.
gusettes will be added to entire front suspension and rear

I paid my deposit for mine the week after the dealer show I can't wait to get, It has been a long wait but it will be worth it.

Dont do it!! leave the Prowler for me! j/k lol

I dont see how you can pass up the Hemi Prowler, you might want to wait a year and see what they change. only because I know you just finished a sick Build or two or something right?

My Teryx is in the next Side x Side Action Magazine (October) and my RZR has been in several articles this last year.

If the Prowler was a bit smaller, I'd probably be all over it.

That Teryx and RZR look great. I love to see what you could do with a Prowler.

My dealer said I should get my prowler by the end of October. But I don't want to get my hopes just in case it comes later than that.

Word from the factory guys 2 weeks ago was end of December or early January. But I like the sound of October better.

Some of the stuff was rapid prototype and it showed (plastic moulding around the engine). They did not have the underhood storage piece installed.

But overall I think they were put together pretty well.

According to the Prowler Product Manager, they still had some fine tuning to do on the clutch and the shocks. These were two items I noticed, so it was good to hear that they were goingto be making some changes.

Crowdog did it look like it could run a little larger tire without a lift. I was hoping I could run 28s with out a lift.

I have one reserved also. My dealer said they told him October or November. He said that means realistically December or January. I am just hoping to get it before dune season is over. I am going to leave mine pretty stock. Just minor things like leg minders and harnesses for safety. Oh, and some tunes. Can't go riding without some tunes..................
