SuperATV transformed a 2018 Polaris GENERAL 4 into a one-of-a-kind hunting and music machine for country singer Easton Corbin. Built for an episode of Destination Polaris, the four-seat GENERAL combined trail protection, additional ground clearance, hunting storage and a mobile concert sound system.
The finished UTV debuted July 29, 2018, as part of the show’s Project X series before SuperATV delivered it to Corbin near Nashville, Tennessee.
SuperATV built this custom Polaris GENERAL 4 for country singer Easton Corbin.
A Polaris GENERAL Built for Hunting and Music
The Polaris GENERAL was a natural foundation for a multipurpose project. Corbin wanted a lifted machine with custom bumpers, a winch, lights and a sound system that he could use for work, hunting and recreation on the farm.
Polaris supplied Pursuit Camo bodywork because that finish was not then offered on the four-seat GENERAL. SuperATV complemented the camouflage plastics with a hammered-brown powder coat on the cage, racks, bumpers, nerf bars, A-arms and shock springs. The result looked cohesive rather than like a collection of unrelated bolt-on parts.
Protection for Backcountry Travel
SuperATV fabricated a custom front bumper, rear bumper, nerf bars and a one-off full skid plate. A 5,000-pound Black Ops winch was integrated into the front bumper for recovery duty, while a scratch-resistant flip windshield could be fully closed, partially vented or opened to increase airflow.
These upgrades addressed the practical risks of taking a long-wheelbase four-seat UTV into brush, rocks and remote hunting terrain. The skid plate protected the underside, the bumpers and nerf bars guarded the body, and the winch provided a self-recovery option.
Lift, A-Arms, Rhino 2.0 Axles and 30-Inch Tires
The suspension and tire package was built around additional ground clearance. SuperATV installed a 3-inch lift kit and high-clearance A-arms that moved the front wheels 1.5 inches forward and the rear wheels 1.5 inches rearward. That stretched the wheelbase by a total of three inches for added climbing stability and created more tire clearance. SuperATV Rhino 2.0 axles completed the upgraded suspension and driveline package.
The machine then received 30-inch RT Warrior tires mounted on Healy Fast Series beadlock wheels. SuperATV selected the RT Warrior as a predictable all-around tire with a softer compound and a less aggressive tread than a dedicated mud tire, making it suitable for rocks, trails and road use.
According to SuperATV, the combination increased ground clearance from the stock 12 inches to approximately 18.5 inches.
Build note: The RT Warrior tires and Healy Fast Series wheels used in 2018 are no longer offered. SuperATV’s product lineup and vehicle fitments have changed since this project was completed.
The 3-inch lift, offset high-clearance A-arms and 30-inch tires increased clearance for backcountry travel.
Custom Hunting Storage, Gun Mounts and Lighting
Storage was a major part of the design. SuperATV fabricated a custom cage with racks above both the roof and cargo bed, leaving room for hunting equipment and supplies. The team also removed the right-rear passenger seat and installed a cargo box for smaller gear such as ammunition, decoys, food and clothing.
Four gun mounts provided quick access to hunting firearms. Two custom pockets with retaining straps held guns overhead in the front of the cab, while two upright Kolpin mounts were installed in the rear seating area.
A 40-inch double-row LED light bar was mounted at the front of the roof rack. Two 12-inch combination spot/flood LED light bars added illumination to the sides, giving the machine broad lighting coverage around camp or on the trail after dark.
A Mobile ProBox Sound System
Because the GENERAL was built for a country singer, its audio system went far beyond a typical trail stereo. Four 10-inch ProBox wakeboard speakers were mounted to the rear crossbar, while four 10-inch subwoofers were housed in a one-off fiberglass enclosure fitted to the cargo bed.
Two 1,000-watt amplifiers powered the system, and integrated RGB lighting extended to the wheel wells. SuperATV also added a compact mixer that allowed Corbin to connect a guitar, microphone and backing music, effectively turning the GENERAL into a mobile performance platform.

The complete Project X episode follows the transformation at SuperATV’s Madison, Indiana, facility, its shakedown test and the delivery of the completed GENERAL to Easton Corbin.
Easton Corbin took delivery of the custom hunting and music-themed GENERAL in Tennessee.
Testing the GENERAL on Easton Corbin’s Farm
After SuperATV completed a shakedown in Indiana, the team delivered the machine to the approximately 300-acre Tennessee farm where Corbin hunts whitetail deer and turkey. He planned to use the GENERAL to reach hunting blinds, transport tree stands, work on food plots and travel around the property without relying on his truck.
The additional clearance immediately proved useful. After driving the machine around the farm, Corbin said it cleared logs he had not been able to cross before and praised its ride quality. He was equally impressed by the mixer and the ability to connect his guitar directly to the sound system, finishing the reveal with a small performance from the GENERAL’s roof rack.
