P1000 2017 Radiator Air Deflector

The dash is cooler

Did you notice if it lowered the heat going to the coffee warmer, aka cup holder?

I did. There was still some air from the shifter but it was a much cooler air like fresh air from around the front and wheels, a more pleasant kind of air. Certainly not hot

I have them on the wish list but haven't gotten them yet. I took the cup holder out of the dash as my Yeti wouldn't fit in it, but it does fit in the hole left by the cup holder. The bottom of it is HOT to the touch. Will a yeti fit in your door holder?

The only thing I've ever had in my cup holders is warm water and cheap beer. The water stays there all day in case we need it and the beer typically doesn't last long. A can in a coozy is tight so I'd say no on the yeti.

A lot of people have done this very inexpensive and easy mod. My yeti's don't move no matter what Terrain I'm on.

Sorry the text did not show up.
All you have to do is remove your existing cup holders and trim a small amount of plastic to fit the marine cup holders. They fit nicely and your yeti's will not move no matter the terrain. A lot of guys have done this inexpensive mod and so have I.

Pics maybe a while, I just bought and installed the 17 dash storage and the water injection fix. And I have several lighting projects to finish and I'm looking at a lift kit, but if I can remember........

No worries, just take your time and do it right. Take pics of all your projects. We all will love to see them

Thank you for this. I've had one of these heat shields since they first became available for purchase but I haven't installed it yet because of the difficulty with so many wires.

I will try this and see if it is much easier. Also, some hardware stores sell stainless steel zip ties!

Find someone who works at the phone company, we have very good zip ties that have a metal tab to hold the tie tight when you pull it tight. You will have to cut them off because it takes a lot to break them.

Oh yeah, we used to use those at work sometimes because I found out the hard way that that metal tab was not stainless and in the work environment we are in those would fail due to rust. They will probably work for our application. And you're right about then being strong.

Our lowes has stainless zip ties. Pretty much the same as used on exhaust tubing when adding heat shield.

For what's it's worth, my black UV zip ties worked and heals up nice with the heavy mudd, driving and even power Washing last weekend. So pretty much whatever type your use, you should be ok

So I just got mine back from the shop with the comfort kit installed and I installed the radiator deflector myself. The comfort kit seems to be doing its job well. With the deflector At first there was no air coming through the shifter holes but the longer I rode I noticed the hot air return from the transmission shifter. There is no air coming through the differential shifter holes which is good. I am guessing the hot air returned as the radiator heated up. Anybody else experiences this?

 

[ToddACimer]

I've noticed the air to be slightly warmer than ambient but not to be hot like it just came through a 190 degree radiator

 

[CPope]

So has anybody made this mod work with the high lifter lift installed? If so, what is the trick to the install?

My hood scoop made a noticeable difference. Air that comes through shifter is just slightly warmer than outside. Was $6 on Amazon but you have to cut a hole in plastic.

I meant to ask if you noticed if it ran hotter, I wouldn’t think it’d change airflow over the radiator but you never know.

I’m probably going to do it for summer and get a second hood for winter when the heat is beneficial.

Thx. It just seems odd that there now zero air through the diff shifter but still blowing thru tranny shifter?
