Do you have to have those speaker pods to put speakers in the door? I was under the impression you could pop out the insert in door and put a speaker in it.
Yes and no. You need some kind of baffle. The pods will make the mount more robust as they mount to the door frame. There was a post not too long ago where someone saw speakers mounted to the knockouts with a baffle. They had to use the knockouts as the hole is too big to mount a 6.5 with the knockout removed. Check out my build thread for measurement pics.
 
When installing the brush guard on the XT-R and the LE versions you have to cut off the "ears" on the plastic that covers the original guard. you don't have to do this on the standard version. I used a Dremel with a cutoff blade.

therebel19 said it well in his post above. The pods are extremely nice though and make installation very simple. The Yamaha stereo system may be expensive but it is basically plug and play. That along with the fit and finish being amazing make it totally worth it.
 
Eventually the pods with speaker should be released by themselves if you want to run a different head unit. Look on Yamaha's accessory website at the hard cab encloser for the part numbers. I called my dealer about it as I'm running the SSV works rocker switch radio and he couldn't give me pricing yet. He said that most likely means they are coming but not available yet. For now I'm using wake board speakers. Two behind the front seats and two behind the rear seats. Eventually I will probably remove the ones behind the front seats and use the door speakers instead when they become available by themselves.
 
I got my Rmax a headache rack today!

Lol, you're looking at one, it keeps your load from crashing through your back window and giving you a "headache".

Thanks!
 
The term evolved from trucks. It's the rack that covers the back window and prevents items from entering the vehicle that could give you a headache. On trucks the top is usually above the cab of the truck so a ladder or similar can rest on it.
For those of us who don't know, what is a headache rack?

Whatever it is, it looks great!

A very common item mounted behind the cab of many pickup trucks and even big rigs. You can hang all kinds of items off them, run lumber etc up over them above the cab etc.
Very handy!

Looks awesome! It looks like it is stainless steel. Did you build it?

Yes I made it. It’s just polished with a wire wheel to clean it and remove welding slag/spatter. When I’m done with the upper cargo rack portion I’ll have it all coated in black Linex.

Well now I have 2 free sets of air horns. LOL. My replacement set of horns arrived and was exactly the same wrong air horn set that I received from amazon the first time. I called them up and they refunded me again and told me to do what I want with them but now are going to pull the ad because there is definitely an issue at the warehouse with that particular item.

HAHAHA, you are now in the air horn sales business! If they are a good price you can resell!
