Hi from a Newbie Newfie

[OffRoad709]

Hi guys New here , just bought a 2018 Rox and i will be looking for lots of advice so i hope you like lots of questions! Been riding off road since the late 70's started off on a 71 Honda trike, had lots of trikes, quads and Side by Sides. Can't wait for Summer to get the new beast unleashed ??

Welcome aboard. Throw out all your expectations for quads and sxs’s as the Roxor is more CJ Jeep like than sxs like.
Once you come to terms with that you’ll be good to go as you’re tilting at windmills if you think the ride is gonna be like or can be made to be like a Rzr or other sxs.

What has the previous owner done to the Rox?

Already installed:
Soft cab
Front bumper with Warn #8000 Winch
Oil Pan Skid plate
Rims and Tire upgrade with spare mounted to rear
Windshield

Wish List as follows:
I'm looking for Warn Locking Hubs ( Maybe Mile Marker if reviews here are acceptable)
Egr delete / may or may not do stage one tune (have to research it)
Looking for LED bulbs for headlights
Fender Flare ideas
Heater (eventually)
Windshield wiper

I don't need anything fancy , not looking for speed or need to go rock crawling as it will be used on hard packed trails , woods roads. Looking to make it last and be fuel efficient. Any ideas advice i would really appreciate! I'm in Canada so there isn't a great selection online for us from what i can find so far.

Unless you find someone with new old stock you won’t find the warn hubs as they have been discontinued. Mile marker is pretty much your only choice so it looks as if the decision has been made for you.

Any CJ 5/7 fender flare will fit. Just be aware the fronts aren’t a perfect fit to the fender lines. Roxor fenders have slightly more curve from the side to the front than the CJ Jeep had so there’s a slight gap there when looking down at the front corner of the fender and flare

If your oil pan skid is painted red and made by Mahindra you’ll need to ditch it if you’re gonna actually need to use it and perhaps even if you never use it. They are known to crack the mounting legs from the engine vibration and then you get a rather loud rattle from the skid. Folks have had this problem on units that have seen zero off-road trails. I would suggest getting a Cecco skid if one is needed.

Thanks for the info ! Much appreciated

A small but noticeable upgrade would be shocks. If u have original they are worthless. I installed Kyb shocks once again on a budget but are a 100% improvement in ride.

KYB 343403 Front
KYB 344015 Rear

Those are the Excel-G shocks. Is there a Monomax option (maybe 565028, I think I found that in another older post) and are they worth twice the price?

 

[CJ2Rox]

Blistens used to be offered or Ranchos on DF. Blistens are super $$. If u have the stock shocks anything is better. The stock shocks offer no resistance. They are what you pull off a truck with 100k miles. U press them in and they have zero bounce back.

 

[MIRoxor]

Are these KYB shock part numbers for stock height? Any suggestions for KYB Shocks for 2018 with a 2" Leveling kit in front? Don't want to pay the big bucks for Bilsteins.
