Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my families new ride! 50 miles on it so far in the last few days and have been very impressed. No problems thus far other than the wife being a little short for the pedals but she manages. The first day I thought I was going to get whiplash with her driving. Can definitely feel the heat under the seat though. Overall I think we made the right choice over a polaris. And matches the truck pretty close!

Welcome to the club! Sharp looking ride. Looks like it's already getting put to good use. The seat heat is an easy fix with an under seat heat shield and a bilge blower. Lots of info and knowledgeable people here. If ya got a question just ask... Someone here more than likely has an answer

Thanks! Ive been reading a little on the heat shields. Looks to be made out of windshield sun shade material from what I can tell. Haven't read on the bilge fan yet so ill have to check that out.

Aluminum bubble wrap stuff at Lowe's. Used on metal buildings. Wrap from the bottom seat to up the backrest seat. Solves 90% of the front seat heat.

I just purchased the heat shield and vent line kit from Bayouownbeer. That is however great to know they carry the material as I would like to do the seatback area as well from what I've been reading tonight. The steam issue worries me.

The full insulation also quitens it. The plastic piece between the seats gets hot! Without the insulation a fan will not help much. With the full insulation, I rarely use the fan unless I'm sitting running for a while.
