Tried to work out of the P1K today, can't do it.....too damn hot. This pictures under the seat of my Polaris, that four inch hose in the lower portion of the pic is an air intake to the drive belt housing, but I wonder if it's drawing heat away from the motor and discharging it out back????

No, it just feeds the belt cool air. If you're just working around the ranch, why not take the doors off? Only 4 bolts to throw em back on for the trail. Try it. You will be pleased.

Ok, talked me into it. Headed to Hot Springs tomorrow but next time I'm back at the ranch I'll give it a go. :)

Another reason I had to go back to the Polaris is that on the P1K a bolt vibrated out of the bracket on the bed that holds it down so it doesn't latch and rattles something fierce. Anybody know the size of that bolt???

Ok thanks. I'm going to order DOT tires today, 27x9x12 is what's on front and 27x11x12 is what's on the rear, I'm thinking of going with 27x9x12 on all four corners, wish they had it in a 30, but that's only available in a 14 wheel. Any thoughts mopar? Trilobite DOT radials.

Post a pic. Be mindful of the tread design that it won't be too loud. Staying with one size is a good plan, one spare fits all. If it we're me I'd probably look for a set of 14" rims, since to run skinnys on all 4 you need to put front rims on the rear.

True, but then my brand new stock off road tires are useless!!!! I better find three more front rims???
