Less down time is a good mod.

NICE sled !!

IMO... to keep the rails from blowing out... a cross brace in the mid rear would be helpful.

Some "rail window" inserts would be needed to allow the brace to be installed... simple to fab. (maybe IceAge will have a kit for this??)

Are you going with a CFR risers as well or did you order the 7/8 to 1.5 adapter that they sell?
I ordered a CFR boondocker 2.0 bar and ODI grips w/ 5" RSI riser. Stock riser is sweet but too bad it's 7/8 clamp.

Just the adapter for the height is perfect for me already. Pink 2.0 boondockers are the shiat!

Here was my last year's build

What you doing to the skid? I'm trying to figure out what to run in mine. I have a Tom's kit I could take of my XM, but also want to try it with no t-motion.

I modified the XM rail braces to brace up the rails. Munster makes rail braces for the rear section also. I am not sure if they fit on the G4 though.

Could you elaborate on this modification?

For the front section of the rails I used a stock XM rail brace kit. I lathed down the center support rod so I could put the rail braces on the inside of the frame rails (just for cosmetics)

For the rear section of the rail I cut down xm rail braces at the point where the rails tip up. Machined a couple of diamond "window" inserts. The larger diamond window inserts were from a scissor relocation kit that my buddy had lying around. lathed some support rods and used 10mm x 40mm hardware.

Still working on what I am going to do for the bump stops, As the xm ones that come with the rail brace kit do not fit the G4.

Motodrew · Nov 7, 2016

Nice work. Now make a set for me? Ha. I like the idea of having the rail stiffeners on the inside. Doesn't interrupt the look of them slick yellow rails.

mountainhorse · Nov 7, 2016

Looks like Ice age will have that covered

Just got an email back from Brock at IceAge...

They will have the rail brace with cross shafts available here very soon.

AND

Rails, straight (not tipped up in the rear) rails that are lighter than the "Bomber" rails and only slightly heavier than the stock G4 rails....

Claimed to stronger than stock... and easy to see how that is possible when you compare the two.

Getting there.... Couple things to come... Decals and headlight delete.

G4 has tipped rails?? I would think those have to go for the mountain guys.

Here us what we are building here at ZRP.
Adds a rear cross shaft and allows the use of our Zmotion 3/4" offset rear link.
The next batch we build will be for use without the Zmotion link. and will go for $130.

When will you have these in stock?
