P1000m5 Bad_Bowtie's Boring Budget Build

[Tramguage1]

I have a 4" bilge fan now. But I also have a 7" radiator fan in a box in my shop. I may swap it out before Bear Creek ride.

So you don't feel the 4" bilge fan is sufficient?

I can feel a lot of heat being moved. But I'm just curious if the larger fan would do better. I honestly think I need to bring in cooler air instead of just moving g already heated are from under the seat. I'm contemplating adding air intakes under the seat where your legs are. Maybe a air intake similar to a snorkel.

I like your idea, thought about mounting the fan to the back of vertical part below seat, went and looked, the vertical has ribs and would need to come up with a way to make a grill look good on the inside of the cab.

I don’t know the comparison we’ve only had the 7” but it breathes very well. They are quiet. I had ours on a variable switch and was automatic. We were very happy with it
We had the small computer fans to bring in heat to the cab but when open it would move a lot more air

This is what I'm thinking as well. I've got the heat shield all the way up the back and radiator fan but feel it still needs fresh air added.

Maybe just jerry rig it for now and see if the Talon has the answer !

Won't be doing the first year model... but hope to have one some day.

Me too, just wanting to copy the fix.

I'm thinking a piece of flex hose and a test to see if it helps

My buddy just did this to his. Cut 2 holes out and ran vents with hose to both 4" fans. Says he could tell a big difference.... After hearing how loud it was I decided against it. I've been running a set of Deltons doors and 2 4" fans and have no heat to complain about.

Deltons doors? Can you show some pics of your setup? This is going to be one of the mods I do this winter, & I'd like to do it right the first time..

Just completed the first service. Dont understand why they can't just use a spin on filter? I think I'll go ahead and do the sub trans as well as soon as I can pick up some more oil. I also think I'll remove the skid next time as well, so I dont make such a mess.

Got my 1000 and the wifes Rancher on the trailer. Going to Windrock in the morning for a short ride. Havent rode anything but city streets in a month!

 

[Bad_bowtie]

Beautiful day at Windrock! Ended up taking 4 Hondas since my mother and father in law decided to go with us on their Foreman and Foreman Rubicon.

Finally getting some protection, lightly used and tested by @JTW . Was saving for some Trail Armor skids but with what I saved I can start looking for wheels and tires next.

@JTW have you saw the burning bush?

The only burning bush I’ll be watching is the one you’re in!
