I wanted to drop the lightbar and clean up the front of the machine to make it easier to see close in on technical trails. The through the hood snorkel forced me to have the lightbar mounted higher and more forward than I wanted to be able to get the hood off.
I grabbed some flex intake duct and bulkhead fittings and ran the intake through the right front fender. The fitting and snorkel on top of the fender is temporary until I weld up a new snorkel so it sits more level and is braced off the ROPS since it’s so close to the side.

With this setup I dropped the lightbar to about ⅛” off the bumper and, ⅜” off the hood using the weldable clamps. It gets it down and as out of the way as I can and still remove the hood. It also doesn’t shake like before and should be a more stable mount for the VIRB.
I really want a GOOD 18” lightbar that will sit right down on the upper bumper bar but I’ll save that for another day.
My powder showed up a few mins ago so I can get the all the mounts and a couple other things power coated tomorrow.
