Well, it's nothing like the RTV 1100's cab, but it keeps me warmer in the winter. Plexiglass for the windows (should've used glass, but the friends shop I was building it at had some leftovers for free) and a metal frame. The inside is relatively unchanged, just added a little heater. The doors do come off for the summer time, or it would become extremely hot.

Very nice cab. That's a big windshield. I don't know why you would need glass? Unless you plan on putting on a wiper which shouldn't be needed.

Nice job on the cab...

All you're missing is A/C...Now that would be a marvel to create
Just kidding, That cab looks like a production model, I'm impressed with the workmanship...
You're right about plexi vs glass...I had a similar issue with my 500 and went with OEM glass,.

A/C. Yea. Not happening. I originally planned to take the cab completely off and put the ROPS back on during the summer (only like 4 bolts), but I had it laying behind the shop that I built it at and the dumpster divers took it to the dump. Which was very angering. So I have to just take the doors off. When I first got it I tried to keep the doors on and after about a half hour in 80F heat driving through the woods I about passed out, figured it would be a good thing to get some circulation:laughing:
I did have a little help with the production, although I did some of it, it was built at a shop with machines worth thousands each. It made the project considerably easier when your using machines that make parts and tools for GM, Ford, and Chrysler.
