After having two episodes where my seatbelts locked up I installed the SuperATV 3 point harness.  Only problem was the harness ended up behind the seat when not in use and then hard to find.  I decided to use some velcro on the harness and seat to keep it up front.  Seems to work.
   After dealing with dragging over numerous rocks here in the North East and not wanting to raise the machine I installed a Ricochet skid plate.  It is noisier than the plastic but I feel a little better.
  I know a lot of you guys are pretty handy creating your own air intake systems but I went with the Warrior Riser Snorkel kit.  It came out okay but it was like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.  But a lot of fun.

Thanks, would like to go up one tire size in the future but I need to put some miles on the 26's first.

Good stuff! I too bought the Ricochet aluminum skid plate set and the optional plastic center covers. These make it slide over rock nicely and I'm glad I optioned them.  I went up to 27" tires (Wanda, Chinese off Amazon. I'm on a Chinese theme, see? I recently took my buddy Greg Soo on a ride. I told him I'm on a Chinese theme. Chinese SXS, Chinese tires, Chinese passenger.) :)

Yeah.  For the difference in price I probably should have opted for the additional plastic but the aluminum does let you know what you're going over. 😂.    I was surprised how well it fit.  Pretty easy too.  Good decision!

What type of rear cargo box did you install on your 800? I really like the looks of that one. Thanks!!
