[Remington]

I may look into that 10-80 pre-filter later on. I must confess i didn't know it existed until You guys pointed that out oh well, i'm trying to learn as i go. For now i'm using the BVC cover with with a shaved OE snorkel and the Uni6300AST filter.
I did the cut already

What happens when u put packouts in there like the rest of us?
Might have a little room to still breathe. Let us know how quick that clogs up under there. Will be interested to see particularly at the dunes.

Sure i'll update as i go. I haven't thought about packouts yet. This stuff gets expensive very quickly, Damn.
I don't have dunes around i'll have to take the trip to Pismo Beach, but our trails are dusty as heck, lots of rocks and dirt everywhere like Arizona or Nevada trails. Do you know the trails at Johnson Valley where KOH happens ? that's what we have around.

Yeah thats dusty. Thought in one of your other threads u said dunes? My bad. Close enough where u will be lol.
We have sandy trails here and its gets bad. I have the Dirts filter set up and its up high not under the fender and dosnt take long to plug up. I have one of those skin covers for the filter, it helps some. Might want to look into one of those.
As for adding up 🤣😂 sure does! We aint joking when we say youll be re mortgaging the house soon! 🤣

I have a filter sock somewhere in the mess i have on top of the trailer. Trailer fitted in the garage but we had to shift a lot of crap around to give it room, you can imagine where everything ended up after the trailer came in
when it comes to mods i try to do everything myself and it's similar to what i do with my Jeep and RAM truck to a point except now i have to worry about oiling my damn air filters with some freaking goo, lol I'll take the trip tomorrow to my local Cycle gear store to pick some foam filter oil and cleaners. I ordered from Amazon and ended up paying more to what my cycle gear shop will charge me and on top of that they failed to deliver today. Never bought anything for SXS so i didn't know that store ever existed. good to know because eventually i'll need Motor oil and the oil filters and all that stuff.

The problem with that ^ is that the rear tire is still throwing all kinds of dirt, dust, sand, and mud up there.

I did the BVC on my '19. It worked good but was still in a horrible location. Filter changes were frequent but very fast and easy, plus it keeps the filter out of the rain. But when I changed from a storage box held in by bungee straps to the Moose box that I bolted to the bed, it became too much of a pain to change the filter. The Moose box had to be unbolted and removed to be able to remove the BVC plate. I went with the 10-80 Dirt sports filter on my '23.

Added the Hess seat belt bypass and the Hess I4wd override. The instructions for the override are simple but without any pictures and somebody who had no idea what the blue plug in the front bay in the or the green plug on the front diff would have been a long ordeal of phone calls to the vendor ,so Youtube university came to the rescue
Also i'm glad i started with the seat belt bypass because i also wouldn't have any idea how to separate the green little plug from the big one at the front diff for the override. In both videos that i found that show that green plug people said they had a hard time getting the plug separated. In the one video for the seat belt bypass the guy explained exactly how the tab holding the little plug work and between that and a little pick to pull that tab back made the job a breeze.

I did f..k up with the opening for the rocker switch. Got carry away with the tool i used and made the opening a little bigger than needed so i ended up wrapping the back of the rocker switch with electrical tape to add more material for the thing to fit better and then i used a little glue to hold it in place. Next time i'll know how to cut the next opening to perfection.

Had the rig out this past weekend for the first time. My son and i had a blast with it. Learned a few things from strapping the thing down, i'll remove the trailer spare tire from where i put, it hangs to low in there, literally 5" or so from the ground.

Asides from that we had one issue where the engine died on me when we where at an incline and i stopped to take a picture. I remember the engine idle went up a little bit like it will for example if i had an intake leak and then the engine died. Restarted without any issues and continued on, i stopped the Talon again like 200-300ft from where it died initially and it did it again. rpm went a little higher then the engine stalled. I didn't want to take the chances so we back to the truck and back home. At home i checked the prefilter just in case , battery cables, ground points etc. Didn't find anything loose although my prefilter was oiled to heck. Cleaned that out and went back to the same place yesterday.

We played for about 1 hour or so getting a feel for the rig without any issues. So i'm not sure what it was but i was reading around that sometimes the motor can have a fluke like this ? I went WOT couple of times and holy cow she's got lots of power to peg us back to our seats. I can only imagine how thing will do with a Turbo lol.

30-qt Igloo cooler for $30, Bauer large tool box from HF for $39, and one of the bags i have in my Jeep to keep tools , used 2 ratchet straps to keep things secured down there.

My filter held up without any issues with the BVC cover, i don't see it dirty at all, the outer sock i added on top of the UNI did what it needs to do and i ordered a 2nd one cause i'll need it.

But, i can see the point where having to change that filter will be a tad more cumbersome and that dirt may accumulate rather quickly given the location, but more importantly for me i did cut a little too much of the OE snorkel down (closer to where the pipe has the elbow) and i don't like how the filter is held up in place so i ordered the 10-80 UNI pre-filter kit. I should have it this week. I'll pay especial attention when making the hole. It seems i'm too quick making cuts only to realize i f...d things up after the fact. I don't want to mess this one up.
Thinking to use a small drill bit and make little holes using the template they provide. I don't have anything that can make round holes so hopefully that will be ok..

It doesn't matter how bad you mess up the hole, the 10-80 flange covers all of it.

But here's how I cut my hole (not a 10-80 Sports, he hadn't invented his yet) -

I don't know if this specific holder will work for the switch you have (measure and compare), and they do have several other sized holders/bezels as well ... but this might clean up the dash where you accidentally hacked a little too much plastic away:

High quality OTRATTW switch holders.

OTRATTW switch holders. An easy and affordable way to install switches. Single, 3 and 6 position. Interlocking individual holders to custom size any amount of switches.

Or maybe the single-gang one here:

The filter socks i bought have a little bigger opening at the base so i'll secure them with a little velcro strap.

So did that work out for ya, @TalonRSM?

So did that work out for ya, @TalonRSM?

It did not, the hole is too close to the edge of the dash on the left side, so the bracket is too big to fit on the left side and also a little too big for the right side as well. I removed the rocker switch, and put a strap of that velcro i used above on the filter sock around the switch and now it fits perfect in the hole with no glue.

 

[TalonRSM]

Tested the new intake setup, literally zero dirt in the filter sock though the trails we have been doing so far are not in the desert so they're super nice in relation to dust, i'd expect coming the summer months to change all that.
