While we’re eagerly awaiting the Big Brake Kit from TPR, here’s something for the ADVs that’s definitely worth looking into.

TPR022 - Remote Oil Fill Kit - Xpedition

One of the most annoying things, when servicing an ADV, is needing to unload the bed to fill the oil. TPR has the solution. This remote oil fill kit takes a lot of the annoyance out of servicing. Now if they’d make an oil filter relocation kit to go with it, it’d be perfect.
 
Someone does. HMF

Michael Cabrera makes one as well. I've thought about it but I figured I need to drop the rear skid once in awhile to get the mud and crap out anyways.
 
This looks good, but my concerns are the 3/8 NPT fitting. Those fittings are usually 1/4 inch ID. This seems to small to flow the correct amount of oil. Does anyone make a relocation kit with larger NPT fittings and braided SS hose. Typically using AN fitting. Just a rubber hoses used in these extreme AZ summer temps could be a problem. Right now as I write this it's currently 116 degrees and supposed to reach 117 degrees today.

I'm thinking of just using the oil filter adapter from HMF and using AN Fitting and braided stainless steel hoses along with a Summit racing remote filter mount. I can use a larger filter than the standard Polaris filter (which I know nothing about as per micro size of filter).

I have the TPR Industries "Oil Fill Location" kit installed. It works great. I don't have to empty the bed to lift the plate to pour oil into the engine.
The rest of this post seems to get a little weird. They all speak to the Oil Filter Relocation kit.
I relocated the oil filter on my RZR800. But I got a kit that allowed me to use a Bosch 1 quart oil filter. The oil filter was vertical, with the threaded end up. Thus I could fill the oil filter and then screw it in place. The extra quart of oil was nice to have.

Regard to the Big Brake kit. Greg's video has you putting Red loctite on several threaded fasteners. You know it takes a good bit of heat to loosen Red loctite. New from Permatex is Orange loctite. They say it develops the same strength as Red loctite, but you can loosen the fastener with out all that heat. I used it and it seems to be working just fine.

Also, you need a 22mm combination wrench to remove the Brake Switch from the Master Cylinder. There isn't enough room the length of
the wrench. So I cut one in half and used the open end half.

Greg's video also speaks of installing the new Master Cylinder and then connecting the brake lines. I found that to be impossible. So, I removed the Master Cylinder from the fire wall. connected all the brake lines. Then installed the new Master Cylinder. Worked like a charm.

Starting with an empty brake system. Bleeding all the air out can take a lot of time and two people. A couple years ago, at Harbor Freight, I bought a brake bleeder kit that uses compressed air to create a vacuum in the the bottle and pulls brake fluid through the system. Here is the kit:

I was a little disappointed the new front brake bracket doesn't accomdate the Polaris Rotor Shield.
A the rear, the new bracket does allow usage of the orginal rear rotor shields.

Just thoughts,

I used to use red and went to blue several years ago. I have never had anything using it come loose on my SXS's, tractors, track loader or mini X.
I am currently experimenting with the generic blue loctite. I like the Loctite blue paste over the liquid because it stays on the bolt better but it's expensive. This generic stuff is thicker and stays on way better than the liquid loctite.

I wasn't aware of orange so will take a look at it. Thanks
