Welcome!


Where are you located in ALABAMA? I'm in Guntersville.

Like others have mentioned, add s snorkel! And look at extending the vents for the fuel tank, diff, etc.

Check all hose clamps on coolant hoses and intake. I found a lot loose as others have too.

Check every bolt you can. My rig had missing clamps that hold the brake lines to the a-arms. And my seatbelt bolts were very loose.

Check all electrical bolts. Batter bolts, main fuse bolts, 3 grounds that are usually loose.
Prattville. I don't want to add a snorkel. I rarely get in deep muddy water

From the look of those tires, you may need some fender flares!

They don't stick out as bad as they look. 1a143e86f5e39895a607fd124cf3788c

Hit some mud at 10MPH and come back and let us know if you still think that ...

The stock tires cover you, if you're slinging wet dirt. I'm hoping the SATV arms narrow the width just enough that with flares. It won't be quite so bad.

Glad you found us. Snorkel extension is important even on wet grass. Hondas do not like any moisture inside.
Other than that, just ride and add whatever your heart desires. (and how deep you pockets are!)

Even if you don't snorkel thru the hood or to the roof.. the intake needs to be changed. For Christ sakes Honda even has a kit for it now.. it's necessary!

I agree you have to have a snorkel of some kind it sooo important if not you will likely ruin your rig driving through a puddle

You may not like deep water but there are people that have hydro-locked motors from splashing in 9-10" of water.

It's just a heads up my friend. I don't want to encourage you to sink it.

Yep welcome from the crooked letter state. The snorkel isn't so you can show out, its insurance, puddles have taken out engines
How hard is it to add a snorkel to it
