The RZR has a custom powder coated cage and bumpers built by Wide Open Designs. The method 401 beadlocks were also powder coated to match, then wrapped with a set of 30in Pro Armor XG tires. RLC Motorsports also installed PRP seats and doors to this awesome machine. Some custom built accents inside the cockpit include a suede steering wheel with quick release adaptor from Dragon Fire and a Gear Grabber gated shifter. 5pt harnesses were added to give it a little more of a racecar kind of feel, giving the driver and passenger added safety when blasting through the trials.

Finishing the overall look, the springs were custom powder coated and SignSmith of Crossville TN, applied the black and green vehicle wrap showcasing the #22 and Fitzgerald logo.
