How to Install a Custom Vinyl Wrap - SXS/UTV/ATV Wrap Removal, Prep & Application - RZR Turbo DIY

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

THUMBS UP if you like the NEW WRAP!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks for checking out the video. I hope you like the new custom wrap which completes the transformation of the #BattleWagon into version 3.0! As many of you likely know, I’ve owned this machine since it was brand new in 2017 and it’s evolved quite a bit over the years. I’m really happy with how it’s setup now and can’t wait to beat on it all season so stay tuned! Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the wrap!

[@TheAmerican1963]

I have met people with "new" machines and they seem to always have problems with them..... mostly belts. Of course I am 60 years old and only trail but if my beer gets spilt I am going too fast !!!!! ... LMAO ... I love my stock clutching and only upgraded weaknesses like radius rods, tie rods, S&B air filter, arched a-arms with Stage 2 AA flash. Sitting on 30" Carnivores does everything I ask of her. As a retired Boeing aircraft mechanic I am sensitive to what the engineers expect this machine to do and do my best not to exceed that. I NEVER want to be THAT guy who always breaks down ...... You are still the King of content and I can speak for everyone when I say thank you for the hard work !!!!! 🙂

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

@@TheAmerican1963 thanks for the thoughtful positive feedback, I really appreciate it. You make some valid points, a lot of people have unrealistic expectations on what a machine should handle. If you abuse a machine, modify things improperly and ignore maintaining it then it doesn’t matter what it is or who makes it, it will fail. I beat on my machine pretty hard at times but I also maintain it meticulously. It’s never let me down in a way where it’s left me stranded. There’s 1000 ways to build a SXS and everyone will do it differently based on what they want or like. I still think the most important part is just getting out and enjoying yourself. Sometimes changing too many things actually has negative effects. You hear all these “experts” complaining about how things are built or setup from the factory thinking they are better engineers then the people who developed these machines. I’m not saying that the engineers are perfect but they have specific targets and requirements they need to address for a mass produced unit like this. Sometimes people’s don’t realize that. Those who use and modify these machines logically are usually very satisfied overall. Really happy to hear you enjoy the content. I always look forward to your comments. Ride safe and have fun man!!!

Nice job. I’ve done lots of wraps and I use WD-40 to remove left over glue. Big tip….. take a bottle of water and add few drops of dish soap and mist back of sticker then apply. So much easier and better results. Also i use a heat gun during application. **** Wipe area with alcohol and compressed air before applying each piece.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Hey man. Thanks for the feedback. Citrus based adhesive remover works way better in my experience then WD40. Especially for tough adhesives. The residue is also easier to clean. I use a heat gun after and go around and do all the contours and edges. I mention that in the video. The heat gun makes a huge difference in how well the wrap stays on. With all these panels being mostly flat I didn’t really feel I needed the heat gun for application. When you do automotive wraps heat is incredibly important to help stretch the vinyl around contours. You have to be careful with heat on an Offroad wrap because the vinyl reacts differently to heat then the over laminate layer. As for the wet application. Others have suggested that too. I’m gonna give it a try in the future. The majority of new vinyls for automotive recommend dry application. However, I can see how certain areas on this project may have been easier to wet apply. I’m gonna experiment with it next time and see.

[@Animalcanam]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd definitely going to purchase some of the citrus stuff. Looks like it works well and cleans up easier then the WD-40.

Lot of work but the end result was worth it. Looks great. I bet it was a good feeling of accomplishment. I have installed smaller wraps over the years on snowmobiles . Much easier lol. I would tackle a side by side but would definitely take my time . Your 100% right about proper prep work before hand. Looking forward to seeing the battle wagon in action. 👍.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks Lloyd! I’m really happy with the end result. Looks like a totally new machine now. Ya, prep is key and so is taking your time. Should have a new ride video up for you guys next week.

[@keithhelle7334]

Been waiting for this video. Wanted to watch it before deciding on a wrap for mine. Was in touch with Barrett and had a design idea but Will have to rethink the design With the gaps etc as my plastics are red in the front but blue on the sides. Pro xp Rockford fosgate edition.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Glad the video helped you out a bit Keith. Ya, all the wraps will have some gapping which is why I think choosing colours that compliment or flow with what’s underneath is important. I’m sure you guys can think of a cool design though.

[@barretthepburn7873]

Stoked to work with you!

[@IBrumie]

Yayy another video

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Not slowin down anytime soon Austin! More on the way.

[@TheAmerican1963]

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the fact you keep your 2017 XPT ..... I'm keeping my '18 (same as '17, different colors) .... I can actually sell mine for almost as much as i paid for it !! I'm a trailer, like you. Hate mud. And she is a wonderful all around machine. 🙂

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Ya, I love my machine man. The way I have it setup now is perfect for what I love to do. I can't justify selling it and having to spend so much more to start all over again. I'll be keeping it well into the future, I may have other machines come and go but the #BattleWagon will stay. Don't get me wrong, I love the new top end RZR's but they are soooo damn expensive!!

[@jordangladden7749]

Another beauty video brother. Love the time lapse, you handsome bastard 😊

[@506SXS]

I'd love to custom wrap my machine if I could afford I'd. Yours looks great! Thanks ajp

[@alteredstateskustom]

That looks incredible dude! You’ve obviously done enough vinyl to be confident The only thing I would suggest a newbie is NOT to start with the hood or another easily seen area. Start somewhere discrete and make your mistakes down low!! I’d rather pay you to apply it!! I’ll hold the camera!! Cheers

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks man! Ya, I’ve done a bunch of wraps over the years. Cars are wayy harder. Your tip is good. Probably should have mentioned that for a noob starting on some of the small sections would be a good way to get a feel for it. I know a lot of people would dread doing something like this and never attempt it. You need to be really patient. I’ve got a few friends that would of given up by the second panel and said F it lol. It’s not a job for everyone, lol.

[@alteredstateskustom]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd yea you definitely showed you have the patience That’s a lot of separate pieces to apply. It would have taken me 2-3 days to do that whole rig It’s like auto body I don’t have the patience for prepping or masking. But I’ll come in after and shoot it I watched the video again. It came out fantastic overall V3 is the best version so far!!

[@barretthepburn7873]

[@alteredstateskustom]

@@barretthepburn7873 that’s a fact!

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrotOffRoad]

Looks good man. Funny you mentioned install costs, I was quoted $1200-1500 in my local area from authorized installers.

[@barretthepburn7873]

Make sure there using the right materials, you see quotes that are 3x higher from automotive vinyl shops. Make sure your getting proper off road vinyl. Best of luck!

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrotOffRoad]

@@barretthepburn7873 Hey thanks, this is off-road vinyl, custom design and in-hand, just going to the shop for install/labor. They quoted me close to 15 hours for install at shop rate basically.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

1200-1500 to install!!!! WTF!?!?!?! That's whack! $100 an hour and they want to take 15 hours.... That's insane. Some places need a reality check. A skilled "professional" who does this stuff fulltime should be able to hammer out an install like this in 4-6 hours. As long as the machine is prepped. If they need to prep it could take a bit longer but if they think it will take them 15 hours I'd run out of their business laughing.

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrotOffRoad]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Yeah I thought it was a bit absurd. I'd have done all the prep, I just suck at laying the wrap lol.

[@johnpicco437]

He'll ya man looks amazing can't wait to see next video I know this question has nothing to do with this video but I was wondering about your opinion about how the muff pot works I know u use it alot and a bunch of u have them dose it really do a decent job how long do u put it in for lol

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Hey man. lad you like it. Muff pot's work great. Depends on temp outside and riding style. If you are riding wide open high speed it works much faster then just slowly crawling around and making a lot of stops. Like anything you need to use it a few times to really figure it out. We love them though.

[@jcsboardshack]

Just fyi. Vinyl won’t stick to parchment paper. Lay that down and you can position the wrap then slide out the paper looks great!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks! That parchment paper trick is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing that. I may have to try it in the future.

[@barretthepburn7873]

Good tip, I do this when I'm doing a new model I haven't done before. But if I know the machine well I can easily take off the sheet straight to the machine.

[@DonsATVAdventures]

looks awesome !

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Thanks Don! Glad you like it.

[@Lithic_Goose]

Hindsight being 20/20 and all, couldn't you have used your vehicle lift on the cage to make some of the wrapping process easier? Looks good though, I can say that I will miss the whole RBO rear cage area with wagon 2.0

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Getting the cage off in its current state with one person is just too much work. It was easier to work around it in my opinion. Ya, version 2.0 with the RBO rack was unique for sure but it was time for a change. I’m happy with the new look.

not a huge fan of the smokey black ink blotter texture, from afar it looks like sun cracks from a weather stained yard atv. I do like the less busy design overall, looks more individual and less sponsored.

Thanks man. Ya I wanted to get away from all the sponsor logos and focus more on the machine. I think the “distressed” look is cool. I wanted to make it look abused, I’ll keep adding real abuse on top of it every ride! Lol. Overall I’m happy with it. I agree the less busy design is better.

I get this isn’t for everyone but it’s a modification that makes your machine truly unique. On a side note, I love blacked out vehicles and I’ve owned a few. The goal with this machine was to be flashy and in your face so the wrap really takes that to the next level.

[@eltonwhite8490]

You can float your wrap into place with windex and then just squeegee it out

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

I’ve never been a fan of wet application but I’ve also never really given it much of a chance. I know tons of people do it. Even for stickers. But I’ll try it next time. A few people have told me I should wet apply in the past. By no means was this wrap “hard” to apply. But I’m down for easier lol

[@eltonwhite8490]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd the problem with dry app is getting it into place

[@alteredstateskustom]

@@AdrenalineJunkieProd you can use an “isopropyl mix” to wet apply it too. This way you’re guaranteed not to have any residue I’ve used it for tons of vinyl decals. Never a wrap tho

[@barretthepburn7873]

You use soapy water for thin vinyl so it won't rip stretch or tear. But thicker off road vinyls don't need this, and hold up better and last longer with out soap water and Windex, as if you trap moisture in there and it goes to sub zero temperatures it will spider crack the vinyl

[@alteredstateskustom]

@@barretthepburn7873 it’s personal preference. I don’t like using soapy water for the same reason I wouldn’t use a cleaning product like windex. You run the risk of leaving a residue and ruin adhesion. Isopropyl and water allows you to to reposition the vinyl easy enough and dries without any issues after you squeegee out the bubbles

[@eltonwhite8490]

Dude I can turn you onto such a better way to do that wrap without all that fighting with the graphics

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Is windex good to use? I’ve heard others say a bit of dish soap and water. I’ve got an off the shelf spray for wet application but I haven’t tried it. Maybe I should have lol.
