Destination Polaris Project X Rig Steps It Up!

In addition to the ExoFrame armored carapace components revealed in the past couple of weeks, DragonFire has stepped-up their Project X intel briefings in advance of its appearance on Destination Polaris in June. The latest sneak peek from DragonFire HQ comes in the form of the StepUp™ rear bumper. Those of you following this blog may notice the new rear bumper strategically matches the StepUp™ running boards that appeared on April 17.

DragonFire liason officer Chris Moore continues to side-step direct questions, but did cop to the fact that the rear bumper is specifically designed to be the right tool for the job. “DragonFire takes another step in the right direction with our new StepUp Rear Bumper,” claims Moore. “Looking cool is always a must, but function is what counts when you are Feeling The Heat and under fire. In extreme conditions you can’t afford to have a cheaply made component crap out.”

No danger of that happening here… hand-welded steel tube construction provides a secure platform for the slotted plate steel top and bottom steps. “The StepUp bumper not only offers supreme rear end protection in the field, but it also makes a sturdy place to stand if the occasion calls for it,” says Moore of the improvised observation platform.

Lightweight, strong and stylish… this is one bumper that will be the right tool for the job every time. Programming note: Destination Polaris is now on Fox Sports. The show reaches more than 70 million homes each Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and re-airs on Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. (all times local). More details about Destination Polaris, including the air date for the DragonFire X3 episode, can be found at the www.destinationpolaris.com website.

MORE DETAILS ON DRAGONFIRE’S TOP SECRET EXOFRAME

Getting Upfront With Project X3

This bulletin comes straight from the Project X3 dossier “borrowed” from DragonFire HQ. As indicated in the last intelligence briefing, the vehicle has been equipped with an armored “ExoFrame” carapace engineered to protect vulnerable body panels on the X3. For those of you who can’t wait until the Destination Polaris episode airing on Fox Sports Network in June reveals Project X3 in all its glory, DragonFire’s Social Media Marketing Manager Chris Moore did offer a bit more detail on the ExoFrame.

“As you can clearly see in the attached photo, our new ExoFrame will help protect the front end,” claims Moore. Who is he kidding? What we can tell through the digital break-up camouflage in the image is the fact that the front fenders and headlight nacelles should be covered by this external framework. “Designed to bolt right onto the stock UTV, DragonFire’s ExoFrame provides added protection to the top, front and sides of the wheel wells.”

Moore adds, “It is hand-welded right here in the USA and powdercoated to match OEM color schemes.” And do these colorways include “desert sand”, camouflage or olive drab? Moore isn’t saying. What he will admit to is the fact that Project X3 remains the right tool for the job, no matter how tough the mission.

“When the trail gets tough, DragonFire gets tougher! We have created a line of UTV protection products for people who can’t afford to take it easy,” states Moore. “Our new ExoFrame will give your UTV the added protection it needs to stand up to the toughest tasks in the worst terrain.

“Simple, clean and strong, DragonFire’s ExoFrame protection provides piece of mind and a true sense of security,” Moore claims. “If you want to know more information about Destination Polaris or the air times for the DragonFire X3 episode, click onto the www.destinationpolaris.com website.”

DragonFire Unveils Top Secret ExoFrame

April 30, 2013 | Written by: | { 1 } Comments

Project X3 Gets Bulletproof Protection

Security clearance has been issued from DragonFire HQ to reveal some more sensitive data regarding Project X3. The new vehicle will be unveiled in its entirety on Fox Sports Network in June, and this latest intel indicates the X3 has a pretty serious mission statement.

“When it comes to venturing off-road, proper protection is about as important as having fuel,” states DragonFire’s liaison officer Chris Moore. “For this mission, DragonFire has stepped out from our usual way of looking at things to aggressively address the concept of exoskeleton protection.”

A protective “ExoFrame” carapace has been engineered to protect vulnerable body panels on the X3. “It offers a level of protection that is perfect for bashing through the woods, scraping over rocks, and just about anything else you can throw at it,” explains Moore. “I hesitate to use the word bulletproof, but our ExoFrame will certainly stand up to the rigors of extreme off-road use.”

“Simple, clean and strong, DragonFire’s ExoFrame protection provides piece of mind and a true sense of security,” concludes agent Moore. More information about Destination Polaris, including the air date for the DragonFire X3 episode, can be found at the www.destinationpolaris.com website.

Meanwhile, keep watching this space as our undercover operatives dig up more details regarding Project X3.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT TOP SECRET “PROJECT X3” BUILD

April 23, 2013 | Written by: | { 0 } Comments

Although secrecy remains tight, sources embedded in DragonFire HQ have revealed that Project X3 will be equipped with a 3” lift kit. “This is another first from DragonFire,” confirms DragonFire’s public information officer Chris Moore. “Our engineers have found a way to push the limits of lift while still retaining a comfortable ride.”

Built to handle the brutal punishment of off-road driving, all components of this kit are made in house right here in the USA. Designed for use with stock or aftermarket shocks, this kit is versatile enough to go from mild to wild! “On Project X3 we are running the new lift kit with our DragonFire ProSpec shocks by Elka,” states Moore.

“This combination works well on all terrain from asphalt to mud and water,” he adds. “It is perfect for X3’s intended mission.” However when pressed for details of exactly what this intended mission might be, Moore would only say, “Tune into Destination Polaris to see this kit get put through the paces.”

Technical specs we have been able to ascertain include the fact that DragonFire lift kits start with economical and bullet-proof drop brackets. A full 3” of lift makes it possible to run tires in excess of 28” and the kit is compatible with both stock and high performance aftermarket options such as the ProSpec Elka shock pictured here.

Additional intelligence dossiers and more details on the Destination Polaris program, including the air date for the DragonFire X3 episode can be found at the www.destinationpolaris.com website.
