Shreveport, LA -- High Lifter
Products announced the debut of its newest custom monster UTV build-the Teeter
Totter.
Three
months in the making, the top-secret build stole the show as at the 2012
Polaris Dealer Show in Las Vegas,
NV. Polaris president and COO
Bennett Morgan promised the crowd that "bigger and better things are coming
from Polaris in 2013" as Teeter Totter's 640 horses were fired up. As the
engine revved and entered the arena to pick up Morgan, thousands of cameras
flashed as the crowd went wild over the monster RZR XP 4 900.
Beginning
with a stock 2013 Polaris RZR XP 4 900, High Lifter's team deconstructed the
RZR and began to add significant customizations to make Teeter Totter the only
monster RZR XP 4 900 in the world. To power the ride, High Lifter added a 383
Chevy stroker motor with 640 horses. To top off the mechanics of making Teeter
Totter drive, they added a two-speed powerglide shorty transmission with trans
brake, Griffin radiator, Pro Fab reverse rotation drop box, PSC double-ended
ram steering and a custom 12-gallon stainless steel fuel tank created by Mezco.
High
Lifter then selected 54-inch Super Swamper Bogger tires and custom High Lifter
wheels to add to the ride that was outfitted with 2.5 ton military axles,
custom four-link suspension, 18-inch Walker Evans air shocks, a C Squared roll
cage and sway bars. The result was a RZR XP 4 900 that sits a whopping six feet
off the ground. While the High Lifter team did make major changes to create the
monster RZR XP 4 900, they did retain as many stock Polaris parts as possible
including the frame, body, seats and steering wheel.
"We were
so excited when Polaris approached us earlier this year to create this special
project for the 2012 Polaris Dealer Show in Las Vegas," Scott Smith, president
of High Lifter Products, said. "We're always thinking outside of the box when it
comes to off-road vehicles and when it comes to creating something of this
magnitude, you've got to have a big vision and the knowledge to execute it
successfully. The Teeter Totter project allowed us to take some of our wildest
ideas for the RZR and execute them to make a one-of-a-kind vehicle that turns
heads wherever it goes."
The Teeter
Totter project is the third monster UTV build High Lifter has created. The
first two monster builds involved Polaris Rangers, with one of those builds
being a major crowd attractor at High Lifter events, including the ATV Mud
Nationals held every spring in Jacksonville,
TX. Videos of Teeter Totter can be seen on High
