Owl Outdoors - Let's Talk Grenadier Parts!

[GofastboatsMojito]

I did not order the light bar because the plus version says harness was not available. Did they just mean that it comes with a harness from OEM? Not clear at all. MAybe I will order this if it does have some type of harness.

I purchased the plus version, it comes with the OEM Harness.

Can you expound on those “right situation”(s)?

If you hit it in the end it will stress crack until the next fastener. Ensure the screws stay tight, if it does have the rigid backing of the aluminum without a way to flex then a good rock impact could sheer it.

I think that is the point of using the UHBMW. It protects the aluminum by having give leaving less stress on the mount points. I've seen it used everywhere in the off-roading that I've been researching, it seems to be the go too for peeps who want to replace the cheaper material rather than the hard material. It's also slick to git so I assume that would also provide some sort of benefit while off-roading? I for one will be getting the OWL just because it offers it "IF" it doesn't detract too much from clearances. I do wonder to your point if it breaks off is there other supporting to keep the aluminum backing tight or not? My neighbor has a solution like this on his RZR but it has a way for him to swap the UHMW and keep the strength on as well. I think its because Aluminum tears and steel scraps, so with UHMW it is like giving Aluminum ability to slide and gouge with out the tear keeping weight down. ???

My Can-Am Maverick RC (Rock Crawler) Turbo R comes with a full UHMW skid plate on it. It works amazingly, sometimes too much though if you are off camber as you will slide down hill. It is a solid sheet though without gaps to get hung up on stuff. Those gaps are my only concern. Maybe its not an issue but only time will tell.

It appears that the UHBMW screws to the aluminum and the aluminum bolts to the Grenadier.

Thanks I couldn't tell honestly.

Personally, I love Owl products and appreciate supporting a local Arizona business. I first heard of Owl when my dealer installed the Owl steps at delivery. Ineos Arrowhead in Glendale is my local dealer. Shout out to Justin Tran, my man at Ineos Arrowhead. Always takes good care of Inez (the Ineos).

In addition to the steps which are highest quality and rugged matching my green machine, I installed the Owl fender guards. They look great and you can stand on them without denting the fender.

I have also installed the rear door handle and the hood lift handle of machined metal. Feels more solid and durable than the stock pieces. I also got the Owl Moab hydraulic jack, and mounts. Installed it onto my cargo bed rails.

Next i am planning to get the Rosen Owl visors, the wide angle mirrors and perhaps the magnetic traction board mounts for the MaxTrak recovery boards. Owl products are really high quality. Haven't had to use the hydraulic jack, but practiced in the garage and it was really smoothly operating it to lift and release.

I'm not sure if owl reads this or not but this is the second time i've ordered a product from them and i am not in love with the process. Maybe I'm too American and like the instant gratification but the shipping times and lack of estimate when products are going to be shipped is just not great. Especially not for items that are supposed to be in inventory.

i ordered the visors 6 days ago (last tuesday) and to date i have gotten no update what so ever except an initial order confirmation. How hard can it be to get the visors shipped out within lets say 2 days if they are in stock? And if they are not in stock, how hard is it to send a notice to let me know that they aren't in stock?

I thought it needed to be said out loud. Hopefully they improve.

Don’t order anything from Agile then.

Agile, my experience, has always been responsive to my orders and very quick to ship.

I've had good success with Agile and Owl. I try to spread the wealth. But I will say the system Agile uses is a bit odd, almost archaic, and can be slow.
